A Sheltered Life Story Growing up, I lead a sheltered life. Not monastic mind you, just sheltered. I spent my summers at a camp in Northern Ontario, my winters at an all-male boarding school. My knowledge of sex came from stories in magazines, and outrageous stories told in the dorm rooms and around the campfires. Any social interactions with women were limited, structured, and chaperoned. There were very few girlfriends to use the term loosely. The summer of my seventeenth birthday, things changed.
