Modesty Pays Off
I was already modest by age 4.
I knew that no one should ever see me
naked except family and, if absolutely necessary,
a doctor or even (God forbid) a nurse.
And I knew that being in my
underwear pants was almost as bad
as being naked (though a swim suit --
which I called a bathing suit, and, until
corrected, thought was a baby suit --
was OK).
So I never romped about outdoors
in my underpants, but this concern
about decency paid off when I got
a wife. Being naked in a room or
in a bed or even in an embrace
with a naked lady is exciting -- hell,
the word "naked" is exciting, in ways
those of less modest upbringing
(a word which means rearing, and that
makes me think of what I'm bringing
up against your rear, dear)
will have difficulty understanding.
Funny how the things we call "adult"
are mostly energized by the squirms
and giggles of children.
