Housekeeping: Entries At Give Satisfaction, What Ho Library
Over at give_satisfaction on Dreamwidth, there are two new entries. Since so many stories make passing mention of Bertie Wooster having had sexual activities at Eton, I posted entries excerpted from Stephen Fry's childhood memoir, Moab Is My Washpot. He attended Uppingham, a similar school. Stephen writes movingly about sex, sexual identity, sexual confusion, etc.
Stephen Fry's Schooldays, Part Two: Uppingham
Excerpt: Yes, I might have been tall, yes, I might have been growing almost visibly, yes, my voice might have broken, but what was happening down there? Fuck all, that was what was happening.
If I heard the word "immature" used, even in the most innocent context, I would blush scarlet. Immature meant me having no hair down there. Immature meant me having a salted snail for a cock. Immature meant shame, inadequacy, defeat and misery
Stephen Fry's Schooldays, Part One: Prep School
Excerpt: At my last year at prep school, it had become very much the thing amongst a handful of us in our senior dormitory to do a fair amount of fooling around when the others were asleep. A couple of the boys were equipped with a set of fully operational testicles and bushy pubic undergrowth, others like me were not. I greatly enjoyed creeping over to another boy's bed and having a good old rummage about. I never knew quite what it was I enjoyed, and certainly the first time I saw semen erupt from a penis it gave me the fright of my life.
Over at the what_ho_library , there has been a research post with many museum websites listed in England and America. Member sweetsorcery added to the entry.
