Hopefully raindance will get me a photo, I would like to feature him on the front page:

My First Real Kiss

This short account is true, and it occured in southern Indiana
in 1956. No names have been changed, because this is not
fiction.

It all began at a Halloween party at someones home, it was
outside in a back yard, and it was likely cold (remember Indiana,
October). There were probably 15-20 seventh grade boys and
girls at the party, and it was great. There was music, doughnuts,
cider, and lots of loud talking and laughing. Then, without warning,
someone produced a glass, quart milk bottle.....empty of course.

I had probably heard of "spin the bottle," but I had certainly never
played it or even imagined playing it. After all, I was 13- years-old
and just getting into male fantasies. At any rate, we made a circle,
on our knees, and the bottle went into the center. The spinning
then commenced.

I don't recall if I spun the bottle first, second or fifth. I just recall
it pointed toward Peggy Smiley. Per the games earlier announced
rules, Peggy and I walked to a little garden shed to have our kiss.
In the darkness of that little shed, I was introduced to a level of
pleasure I had never envisioned. To try to describe the beauty
of that kiss would be like trying to describe a beautiful color or
a lovely sound. There are just no words to describe some things.

Let it be noted that Peggy was a lovely child, maybe a little more
"developed" than her classmates. She also seemed to have a
certain "knowing" about her that we lads lacked completely.
She definitely took the lead in our kiss, and she gave it its fullness,
its intensity and its wonderful duration.

When the party ended, Peggy told me that she and her date (Billy)
were going to walk to a nearby movie theater. I was welcome to come along, if I wanted. Boy, I wanted ! So, off we went, Peggy and Billy,
me and my friend, also a Larry, and maybe a couple others. At the
movie Billy sat on one side of Peggy, while I sat on the other.
At some point during the movie, I put my arm around Peggy, and
Billy was through. From that night in October, Peggy and I became
a couple. Billy was history.

My friend Larry and I shopped for a friendship ring, which I gave to
Peggy shortly after Halloween. She put a wad of tape on it, started
wearing it, and she gave me one ! Now we were "going steady."
Since I couldn't take my ring home or even admit to having a
girlfriend, Larry kept it for me at night and on weekends.

I made the Wilson Jr High basketball team that fall (a heady time !),
and Peggy and her friend Mary Carol would come to our games.
Peggy told me I had pretty legs. Needless to say, we had now
logged dozens of kisses and were having dates at the local roller
skating rink. And "things" were escalating.............

One day that precious fall, Mary Carol informed me that Peggy
wanted to "go all the way." I knew what that meant but had no
clue as to the mechanics. My fantasies were still about kissing
and maybe breast touching....maybe. But, like I said, Peggy
had a jump on most of us in maturity and knowledge.

Nothing new happened, of course, and not long after, Peggy stood
me up for a skating date. Mary Carol told me Peggy had gone
out with a high school boy who drove a car. That was the last
day forever between Peggy and me. Devastation. Since we weren't
in the same classes at school, I don't recall ever seeing Peggy
after that. I did ride my bicycle past her house, hoping to catch
a glimpse of her, but that never happened.

I think Peggy's family moved away that following summer. Larry
and I had buried my friendship ring in a soup can, in the back
yard. I am betting that can and the ring are still buried there.
At any rate, there were other girls and other kisses but None
I remember like the one that October night.

Peggy, sweetie, if you are out there somewhere, please get in touch !
You won't believe how much I have learned !!!!
