I know, the title seems hard to believe. Until I reached my early to mid twenties, I could easily miss hints and cues directed my way. That’s probably part of the reason I was still a virgin when I graduated from high school in the late 80s. I had gotten as far as French kissing a girl, but that was it.
I enlisted in the Air Force, and after Basic went to the base where I would learn my career essentials. While there, I did manage to get to 3rd base, both in the base movie theater (very stupidly risky in hindsight) and the dorm TV room. The dorm, itself, was co-ed, but the bays were not. During my stay there, there was a female I had hoped to hook up with, who was known for being generally inclined to have fun. For easy reference, I will call her “B”. Unfortunately, I never did get a chance with B while at the training base.
