You know, if I didn’t have a 7 year-old boy maybe I’d laugh along with you. Maybe. But I’m a parent. My boy’s world is full of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Cub Scouts and Saturday Cartoons and Justice League and Gamecube games. He dreams of future trips to Disney World and worries about spelling tests.
Any woman who would steal his childhood for her own perversions is a RAPIST. And if it was My son who got raped…well I’d probably be in cuffs right now charged with assault or worse.
I don’t know how old they were but I have definetely had (rather surreal) sexual fantasies about certain teachers when I was <12 years old. The lack of outrage can probably be explained by that many men have simmilar backgrounds, and the fact that the boy in question doesn’t seem to have been very much ‘against’ it, not that he has a legal choice.
And the 17-year stuff. Shesh! I’ve had sex with several girls younger then 17, I think one was only 13 or 14. Granted, I was only 15 at the time but people become sexual quite a lot earlier then 17 in many cases. I bet several people on this board has had a voluntary sexual debut much earlier then that, I recall reading that the average age of people losing their virginity was 15, and someone has to weigh up those 25-year old virgins.
Granted, eleven year olds have fantasies.
But they are just that-fantasies. There are a lot of things I’ve imagined that I would probably not do in real life.
Plus, the idea of someone in her late forties, early fifties finding an eleven year old boy SEXUALLY attractive gives me the major creeps. Hell, like I said, at my age, finding an eleven year old sexually attractive-ew. Not gonna happen.
I wasn’t suggesting that this was perfectly healthy and normal, merely trying to explain the lack of outrage. As you yourself said, you find it creepy, not outrageous.
