"Love and affection seem to go hand in hand but yes, there is a difference. When you say 'berth' do you mean a bunk or something else?" Jeanette assumes Fernando means something else.
 
"I want to be completely honest about something you said. I have no objection to a girl going about her day in the nude but no strutting around in the nude. I hope I'm clear on the difference. Also, at the very least, a girl needs to wear something such as panties or a gown to bed.
 
"Anyhow, Macey sounds like a challenge even if her mother is lying about the dogs. And . . . I don't I'm the best person to teach her."

In thinking, Fernando adds, "Look. You're an adult female, one who is on the far side of the sexual spectrum of being, I'm guessing here, still a virgin and a non-sexual player at your age. You are the complete opposite of what Macey is in being a 12 year old who might be sexually experienced or active but who is most certainly sexually aware. The other girls are most likely not sexually experienced or even sexually aware, but who knows. I've know girls sluts and nymphos at a young age and yet they maintained an air of being a virgin about them. I'm not saying what they are - it is on them as a girl tends to keep her sexual life  secret from everyone except for those she shares it with. But I am talking about that comparison between you and Macey, you as the adult female are to establish onto her what is acceptable behavior in public and in semi private. By semi-private - what we do together as a group like in overnight camping or sharing a large hotel room suite. Don't think that I'm going to pounce on her skinny little rear end and do her lovely, like some may have, but as her 'father' I will do what needs to be done to teach her right and wrong. I'll admit that being a father to 6 girls thus far, some of them have pushed the boundaries of Father/Daughter relationship in what they want, but some lines were never crossed between me and them and it wont between Macey and I though I am sure she is going to push against those boundaries as hard as she can to see how far they can be pushed. If she tries to push it too far, she's going to find a spanking on the other end of that boundary. As a father, I have that right though it is something I do not like to do but only do so when it is needed. I hope with Macey that I wont have too."

He sighs, "Once again, you missed the point. Compare, two people, one teenaged or preteen-aged sexually active, the other an adult who is not and has not been, both of the same sex gender and lets assume of the same sexual orientation. What can you say is different between them except their age? One will have a desire the other will not understand. That desire is wanting sexual companionship by any means necessary, that she would always unintentionally consider somebody else as a sexual play thing because she is making connections between sex and emotions when there is none. You, who have established that emotions and relationships do not need a sexual connection, need to teach her that. Understand now?"

"Sorry, I drifted. One has a desire that the other will never understand. That desire is to have a sexual companionship with anyone who is willing to be that person. But how am I to teach that relationships do not need a sexual connection?" Jeanette disagrees with Fernando's statement that the two are of the same sexual orientation but does not want to derail the conversation further than what she already has.

"I have a question regarding another member of this party. How do we help Elsa overcome her fears? She's so distant that I can't reach her."
