TEENAGERS have complained it is no longer possible to return from a fortnight in Crete claiming to have spent the whole time shagging.
While previous generations could plausibly pretend to have spent the whole of a family holiday in an all-inclusive resort enjoying a whirlwind romance with individuals called Pavlos or Inga, today’s 16-year-olds demand pictures or it did not happen.
Tom Booker, aged 14, said: “The burden of proof is simply too high on my generation, and it’s not fair.
“My dad, misty-eyed, told me all about the red-hot fortnight-long f**k-fest he’d enjoyed with a Spanish girl called Rosalia in 1995 which was the envy of all his friends. Even though it didn’t happen and he spent the whole time squeezing spots while reading Stephen King.
“You didn’t even have to go abroad, mum said. She’d invented a whole romance with an fisherman called Morgan and they’d only gone to Whitby. Your peer group was powerless to prove it false and, even more, they wanted to believe.
“Now? You’d have photos, texts, TikToks together, nudes, the lot. When I dared lie I’d chatted to a hot German called Helga it was quickly disproven with a date-ranged search of geotags.”
Father Matt said: “Of course, in a couple of years you’ll be able to do it all with AI. The golden years of claiming to have lost your virginity on a Sitges sunbed will be right back.”
