Now heres an interesting thought. As male when I was younger I played football to a reasonable level. I never started a match with the thought that I might get hurt. Obviously I did. Broken foot, broken wrist, knocked unconscious only to mention a few, but it didnt worry me that I was going to be hurt because that wasnt the intention. The only sport where the sole intention to inflict as much pain as possible is boxing. In boxing even the victor is going to be hurt. This is so counterintuitive to most humans that we pay vast amounts of money to watch the very best box. By and large females do not engage in physical contact sports, by and large, there are obvious exceptions but as a rule this is a male preserve. So when I decided to have a fag behind the bike sheds I wasnt concerned about being caught, if I was , I was , and I would be caned, as in football I tried not to get hurt but sometimes you just cant avoid it.
