Truth. I get it that kids often act/speak without stopping to think, I have four kids. I really get it

I would agree with that if the group of people involved here were doing something like playing a voluntary game of spin the bottle or whatever. The OP has given no indication that was the case though. Unless, of course, I'm missing something here.

I had a thought that perhaps the friends were trying to help him reach a right of passage. There can be a lot of peer-pressure sometimes for teens & preteens to meet certain milestones like getting their 1st kiss, getting their 1st relationship/date, & losing their virginity. Some think of you as a loser if you are way behind your peers with that type of stuff like is common with us Aspies. I'm suddenly thinking of the movie The 40-Year-Old Virgin where his friends feel the need to help him get laid after finding out he's a virgin. Now I'm thinking of the South Park ep where the boys pressure Butters to get his 1st kiss & they tell him that a girl is giving out kisses for money, I guess kinda like a kissing both thing except she she was keeping the money for herself instead of it going to a cause or being a fundraiser thing.
