Cooties weren't a concept for us.

Even without cooties, in most schoolyards, the girls will play
balance & coordination games (hopscotch, skip rope, &c) while the boys
play physical speed & strength games (ball games, 'play'-fights &c).

I believe you when you say you & 3 boys hung together a lot. Did you
also play games with more minor aquaintences? Did you play ball,
or did Dave, Tom, & Gordy skip rope, or did you only join in with other
lids for less gender-segregated games, such as tag, Simon says, &c?

We played ball and war and stuff at home. At school, we played
tag and such. My rope-skipping skills were not impressive.

Excuse me?  I was never attracted to females at point in my life.

Apparently it is quite common for males and females to be curious,
to have fantasies and perhaps even experiment.

Dave, I don't know about guys but it's not common for girls to do that.
It's mre of a guy's fantasy to think that.

I have heard the village people song... so Carols version seems to be
true. She probably also has observational proof from... the
navy...

yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can't you see we need a hand?
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow men
In the navy
Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy (In the navy), in the navy (Oh)! =D
