> Now the whole society from kids up has been thoroughly sexualised and the lines between children, adults and old people blurred.<<<-----While I agree that he could be feeling "dead" as Sigismund said, and also desiring "desire"..... I think any mentally healthy adult understands and respects the boundaries of adults and children in regards to sexuality. this to me is going beyond healthy and can result in abuse to a child/or children.
with that said, I think it's awesome that this culture is recently recognizing that elders have sexual desires-- but it's where the culture aims sexual desires at that we must be careful.
I believe it is EVERY single adults duty to protect children from that which they aren't physically or emotionally developed enough to accept and understand..... when the children aren't respected and protected -- it can only lead to the demise of all humanity. :o(
there is a saying-- "Not doing can be the same as not caring"....
