Frat party. Popular kids get into frats by initiations. Legendarily outrageously ugly initiations, having nothing to do with worthiness — just about whether to let a pledge into the “in group” in which young men have freedom to sow wild oats, discover drugs, move outside the restraints of their parents’ upbringing, and become warriors fit to ride stallions around the world with distinguished CV’s and the admiration of beautiful babes.
Sorority girls, or wannabe’s from the college around the corner are daughters of the tradition. I know this because I have done a turn through that web. And they are usually very anxious to snag a good mate for the good of the party. (Party. Party. Any definition you might choose.) Someone to marry that will “fit into the specs of a proper spouse.”
Alcohol is the fuel du jour. And drugs. It’s a given. It’s available. To avoid it is weakness and not in the “true spirit of the party.”
Of course! Everyone drinks at college, unless they are frumpy people from some suppressed culture that frowns on “letting it all out.” NO prudes allowed.”
So add some giddy, sophisticated, socially ambitious college girls to the mix on some steamy evening, and put them in the current “rad” clothing (think what you will about whether it is “attractive” or “appropriate.” A bathing suit?) Not really about upper crust balls, surely. The shorter and more fetching the casual clothing, the more fun can be had. Available bedrooms? Easy. A lusty college undergrad can find one even if they are not frat or sorority members, and the steam is significant, heady, and appropriate for humans at the height of hormonal development. (Intended for the survival of the human race.)
Experiment? The name of the game is experiment! Try something new! Push the plebe, or new member through some male rites and see how pure or not pure he is when slightly or not-so-slightly inebriated. It’s part of the zeitgeist — in fact sometimes the very heart of the zeitgeist on SPEED!
Newbie? Show his how it’s done here at Frat X. Big boys DO this, kid. Mount that babe. Rip off her bathing suit. She will love it.
Show him how it’s done. Get on his back and show him how to hump! Run him through the rigors.
Meanwhile the tender young ladies who came for a buzz and ego lift and some erotic temptation, fall into step, laughing and horsing around on a bed. They have morning after pills, these days. Safety first, right?
The party is monitored to see if the plebe or newby is “doing it now”. If there is lackluster enthusiasm for going all the way with a girl, why not force it a little? All in good fun. The girls may be surprised what a force a bunch of drunk frat buddies can be on their fellows. Ridicule, gleeful cheering, and even a little help with the “technique” of “doing it.” It’s a howling pile of fun! And sometimes people get bruised. Or torn.
Anyone who has grown up outside a cloistered nunnery has seen one or another version of this growing up initiation. Whether it’s in the back woods in Arkansas or in the Halls of Ivy, it’s something that happens on any given lusty night where the booze flows and young maids and blades mess around with music blaring, and parents far away and innocently unaware.
Be real, people! I wonder, if people were strictly honest, what the percentage would be of school adolescent/young adult passions who have memories of their moment(s) of reckoning.
Sex! God! It is a potently driving force, and like fire, it cannot be tamed by drunken young people. It cannot be experienced in a controlled environment! It is animal stuff!
ALL women can say Me Too. Even little me, who was subjected to not one but four separate incidences of sexual exhibitionism and coercion by the time she was a pre-teen. And who used to look first at a man’s fly when one came passing by. With fear. Maybe early immunization is a blessing — something that strikes gut fear into a young girl.
How many of us animals have not been tested, whether by our own choice or by the press of the peer “in group” to participate in these rites?
Let him who has no sin cast the first stone.
SGH
