America’s love affair with not condoning explicit sexual activity between people of different ages who are turned on by each other baffles me. Fifth and sixth grade girls are menstruating due to all the chemical crap in our diets and the hormone altering pollutants in the air we breathe. Boys are maturing earlier than previous generations. And while the estrogen that begins flowing through the veins of young women tempers their lust, the testosterone lengthening the vocal cords of boys and bulking up their biceps does just the opposite.

Young men can’t wait to get laid. I know I couldn’t. The voltage that rips through us at that age when our mouth closes in on our girlfriends lips is indescribable. If she takes her clothes off in the family room while her parents sleep soundly upstairs, we’re doomed. We’ll dive into sex with no idea where we’re going or where we’ll end up.

If an older woman came on to me at the age when I had a full clip loaded with the safety off, I’d crawl into her waiting womb without a moment’s hesitation. And that’s what happened to the 13 year old Mexican kid who was just as hot for the teacher as she was for him. I can’t explain why a 25 year old woman would lust to seduce a 13 year old, but then again none of us can say what it is that makes people feel like that anyway. No amount of scientific hoodoo can answer the question of sexual attraction. The only thing out of order is our laws that prohibit such behavior. While most Americans think having sex with someone deemed underage by the culture and the force of law written by the legislature is criminal, the sexual maturation of the people involved in the affair neuters any legal attempt to interfere with their desires. It’s going to happen whether you like it or not. This isn’t child molestation. It’s consensual sex whether the law says so or not. No woman on earth can make me have sex with her, or run off with her if I don’t want to. I don’t care if I were 5 or 55.

While young females have complex issues with their sexual nature, young males do not. Societies far more liberal than ours, and less obsessed with technology, understand this crucial difference. For years too many in the thousands to count, young men have been inducted into the art of love by much older women. Women in their 30’s that run along the same sexual highway as young men in their early to late teens. The only culture that doesn’t seem to grasp this simple essay is ours. And that is a pity. And a criminal one at that .
