Well, this may be a fantasy for some, but it happened to me. And quite a bit as a matter of fact. I was a bed wetter until age 13 or so. I was often put into diapers overnight (very often) and was made to wear them during the day (less often). It was always a big deal that I had to wear them because I couldn't keep the bed dry like a "big boy" so I had to be put into diapers like a baby. There was much embarrassment and many of my friends and neighborhood pals found out about it. Afterall, I had 3 siblings. Someone always talks!

nobody,but nobody, can contol a game like bobby orr did.Not even gretzky or lemieux.Bobby orr is the greatest.

========== In Reply To ========== If you were lucky to see Bobby Orr play, there would be no denying the mastery and perfection in his game. I saw Gretzky and Mario play for many years and Bobby Orr is still the best.

Nu mber 4 Bobby Orr, the greatest.

I was really surprised to read coaches can still paddle guys. I thought that was long gone. I was especially surprised to read 'Tyler' who spoke of it being common in Texas. It was common in my junior high - high school 40 yrs ago when I was in school. Although I got paddled like about every boy in sports I was always really embarrassed when I had to get it. It was in our jock straps, and I , like MANY others did get hard. It is not as noticable in a jock strap, but it WAS noticeable. Ther was always a lot of teasing- after you got it. I hoped that era was long gone. Other teachers did not paddle people to keep discipline. I think it was (is) wrong to allow coaches to have power to paddle guys- obviously other teachers do not need to do that. I always thought it was just a license to be a bully- something that should not be given anyone. Any coaches out there want to comment thanks! Some of my high school friends think it was ok- and admire the coach then and now.(yes, he is alive and well!)While I am always friendly to him, I do not share my buddies admiration- nmor look back on it with the respect they accord his methods and him.. AM I just a grudge holder or is theirs the more healthy attitude? I hope to hear from you. otrantoia@yahoo.com

Im a french guy 22, and im surprised with all the stupid things are said in this area. We dont feel embarrass about tha kind of things... we even shower with your friends at home... I think that stupid thing about showering with your clothes on tells me a lot about the american culture or shoud i say about the american non-culture... i think we european people we have grown up enough to surpass and leave behind that kind of prejudices... (or else ask any swedish guy)... and nobody makes that matter a question for a poll... you do it and thats it... We, i mean anyone in europe, will find really embarassing someone showering with your clothes on... everybody wiil look at you at some kind of weirdo!!!
