Indeed, given the
opportunity, and the assurance that no first seduction or
corruption of anyone was in question, they would prove quite
irrepressible.
"Certainly, long before puberty--which was early with me--I
remember being greatly attracted to certain boys, and wishing to
have an opportunity of sleeping with them. Had I been able to do
so, I am sure I should have been impelled to get into as close
contact with their naked body as possible, and I do not think I
should then have craved for anything more. I knew some
boys--perhaps a little older--who even then had relations, which
were certainly not innocent, with a girl who was a year or two
older than any of us. She once kissed me, to my intense shame.
But I felt that these relations would have been unspeakably
disgusting and I took no particular interest in hearing about
them. I remember being fondled and caressed by a very
good-looking boy of 16 when I was three or four years younger and
had sustained some hurt at play; and I am still able to recall
the thrill of delight that I experienced at his touch.
