Does those creepy uncles who tickle you a bit too much count?
not in rude places but just excessive.

I must admit I have started to have a few moments where I have questioned why nobody ever touched me. Was I not good enough for the nonces? At least you got over tickled by your "uncle". It does seem as though I am in the minority in having a childhood with no abuse.
I had a teacher cuddle me 'to keep warm' rather too enthusiastically on a chair lift while on a school skiing trip. Oh, and there was the other one who used to 'check we'd showered properly', but other than those minor incidents, I grew up in the noncetastic 70s and 80s pretty much un-fiddled :-(Quote:

Now this lad was a Christian Brother so quite clearly (in hindsight) a nonce but to the best of my knowledge he never touched a pupil’s ***** nor buggered them for kicks.
Yes. It's sort of hard to explain these days that you kind of knew certain chaps were that way inclined, but that most of them didn't feel as though they represented any particular threat.Quote:

Nothing to get a chap excited, in therapy, or even arrested.Quote:

You know what at school they didn't let us take showers.Quote:

Yes, we had a PE teacher who liked to check the same.
Rugby Union player iirc. Says it all imo.
Seems to be the norm these days. I was shocked to discover my stepson's football team don't shower after games and go home in their kit and then shower. Very odd.Quote:

And on the flip side we had to get changed on the coach on the way to the pitch in those blue ILEA buses.Quote:
