Not being the sporty type, I signed up for the school Gilbert and Sullivans.
When full dress rehearsal time came and half the boys were dressed up as girls, there was a definite frission.
I wouldn't call it sexual exactly...it certainly contained elements of longing that come with the territory of an all male boarding school suddenly presented with facsimiles of girls, given the alibi of femaleness to make safe love, sex and (most of all) touch.As for some of the teachers, that was sexual enough.
One a year every couple of years was asked to leave after an indiscretion, maybe a grope.
All the boys knew, almost by instinct, whom those teachers were, and in any case there was worse to worry about.
One enterprising kid turned it to his advantage and manufactured a complaint which got a sadist booted out, and who earned my lifelong respect by so doing.
The more kind and gentle teachers of that type would have unsuccessful attempts...... One dosed a good looking (and as things turned out highly unsuitable boy) on Mandrax and tried it on, but the boy ran yelling down the corridor and the teacher had left by the end of the next day.Everything I know about group dynamics I learned in boarding school.
Of course I'm serious....this is the world as I found it.
