Chat Rites of passage

[UsefulIdiot]

In many cultures in the world boys are initiated into to world of men via a ritual - for some it is a ceremony, or a visit to a whore house, others have to go off into the wilderness by themselves for a time, or kill a lion, or are subjected to insect bites (like a glove full of fire ants). For me there was no ritual - I joined an adult rugby team when I was seventeen. The game can be brutal, but after practice the guys hang out and drink. After games the players party with the other team. I was often snuck into bars by my team members. Before returning me home they would try to sober me up. Usually the guys looked after me, but in a game after getting hurt I jumped around in pain and got mocked harshly - I learned to suck it up and never complained again. Halfway during the season I went from being a winger (very little action) to being a hooker (the guy right in the middle of the scrum, a very rough position) - I was a teenage hooker LOL! At the Christmas party in 1979 there was gambling, drinking, I saw porn for the first time, and I saw strippers for the first time. One of the players went down on a black stripper. At that point I had to leave, so I do not know what happened after that. In the process I got drinking out of my system early (people usually do that in University) and toughened up. Plus I got the experience of hanging out with men.

How about you guys - any stories of how you went from being boys to being men?

I know some guys hit the strip club as soon as they are legal to do so.
