When I was young there were a number of situations where I really didn't want to do something, but I wasn't entirely sure how to stop it either. She wouldn't take no for an answer and you "can't hit a girl" or you don't want to look like a whatever, you don't want to feel like you led her on or offend her and so forth. You might have not intended something to become sexual but don't want to jeopardize the relationship. That one hit me with an older woman I had considered a friend and mentor, but fooling around with an unhinged divorcee was not on my bucket list at that age.

You certainly don't talk about it with your friends or parents.
