of hearing distance. Sex was never a dirty word but was always spoken lowly or whispered with great caution but now it is not startling and brings no more surprises than any other three letter word. Everybody remembers the old slogan "Everything you wanted to know about sex and was afraid to ask". After so long you did not have to ask because you heard about it constantly. You can take it from a Religious or science version; but every minute particle or thing found i the ocean to every living thing on earth has the power of reproduction in more than 1000 different styles and if people were familiar with styles of some of the lower animal life they would be surprised. 
A female's longevity is 8 years longer than a male's so if she is eight years older than a man they should be mathamatical the same age; but regardless of the eight years of longevity she is ten or fifteen years younger than the male at 65 or 75 years of age. At this time the male has gotten complacent he had problems and had things to do. He did not have a head ache but he may be wondering if the urge was worth the anticipated pleasure; He does not realize that she is really 15 years younger than he is and she is wondering about this time if there is ever going to be any participation whether she should make an appointment. When your meddlesome friends ask you about your Marital relations and you tell them you can take it or leave it; and if you leave it you will hav made the mistake or error of your life because the wolves and vultures are ready to move in and they know all the grammatical and rhetorical sweet talk that can seduce anything they prey on. The female being so much younger than the male i a vulnerable target and is easy prey and I might add that she is almost as vulnerable as a flock of hens without any roosters. This is not legendary or heresay: "I found out the hardway". The year is 1899 in Muchakinock and we are getting ready to go to Buxton; but now my Mother is going through transitional states by offering: her 16 year old daughter (Nettie Gertrude Gain Love; affection;Money; fine close and trips out of the state and other necessities of life; but it was an impossibility to keep her in at night. Ever what it was out there in the dark had a higher magnitude of force that over shadowed all the promissus and concessions that my parents offered. I never saw my Father whip any girl but that one time but he did such a good job of us unti he made me wince and flinch. He caught Nettie by her heels and the front of he dress and pulled them up while standing and whipped her with a strap on her bar bottom until it turned red and before he quit it looked as if it had turned Blue.

At 9 years old I never understood much about humanity but after I got to be fourteen I backed up and remembered that at my point of vantage she was a young woman alright but what still puzzle me was why she had on no pants. the situation seemed unsolvable.
