Appropriate? - Not!

"Our generation did everything your generation does. We just didn't talk about it." ...are members of XMarks fascinated with being the object of such interest? Well, many of our members, myself included, did not grow up with the kilt. As such what might be old hat and disgusting to lifetime kilt wearers of "a certain age" is a new, shocking, and interesting experience. As such, yes, it will be discussed. Does that mean that XMarks has a disproportionate number of "perverts"? Certainly not. It means that many of us are experiencing for the first few times, something that has become boring and disgusting to experienced kilters.

I am of that 'certain age' FB refers to. I did grow up wearing the kilt and I have had 'the question' asked. It is definitely old hat (but not disgusting) that it is sometimes discussed here.

I don't, however, consider the question or the frequency with which it is mentioned on this site, as a sign of perversion or excess. It is simply a sign of changing societal permissions and a need by new kilt-wearers -- mostly North American -- to tell-all. As FB's father-in-law said (and I think he was referring to the 1940s and 1950s -- certainly in Scotland and in Canada -- we did but did-not discuss. It was boorish and ungentlemanly/unladylike to do so.

'The Question' raises its head with many new members, most in their middle years, and dies from lack of interest in a few days.
