Ask Dr. Helen: Should Men Be Kicked Out of the Church Nursery?
I’ll draw the “age of social consent” line in the sand for each community: take the youngest kid you’ve prosecuted as an adult for some crime, subtract a year or two, and that’s the age you don’t have to worry about an adult hitting on a boy.
And I clearly said that SOME, a very small minority, might get messed up by the experience. People are in therapy for lots of reasons.
Most folks use common-sense, and do not put much stock in psycho-babble when it comes to stuff like this.
I know that as early as 7th Grade, I was lusting after teachers (probably earlier). When I was 14 I wanted every youngish mom on my paper route to take me in one day and pay, in lieu of the $2 weekly subscription to the paper, with this very act we’re discussing. That’s all I thought about on my route, LOL.
I can’t sit here and imagine any scenario where I wouldn’t have considered that the greatest day of my young life. My confidence with the ladies in the future would have been dramatically improved.
When someone starts blathering about how that paperboy/ hot housewife thing would have been wrong,, I must admit, I tune out. How could I have been the victim if that was what I wanted? All I hear are people living in some academic bubble, separated from real life.
And yes, it’s totally different for girls, when the roles are reversed. Under no circumstances should the opposite ever be acceptable. Young girls just want to “fall in love” with an older man, without much thought of what “love” is to an older man. Boys just want to rut like wild pigs. There’s a huge difference there, and if you can’t see that, well, you’d best return to your medical journals and psycotherapy lecture.
