Well, it _is_ embarrassing to admit that one was once 21 years old and a 
many sleeve striped (okay, five stripes) Leader of Men (tm) who found 
himself surrounded by mostly naked, nubile, possibly willing, foreign 
women ... and was more interested in a hot meal, a shower, and a dry bed 
than the mammaries and pubises on display.
