<potentially long post alert>

The situation on age vs sexuality is amazing. How young can a girl be to be "hot"? Well, let's say Catherine Zeta Jones... if she was 14 and looks like she does now, I think I'd probably be looking at jail time, if presented an opportunity to indulge in that physical pleasure.. But if she opened her mouth and sounded like a twit, like MANY 14 year olds, and plenty of 18 year old girls have.. It'd be all off.

It really is based on maturity from an emotional standpoint. The problem is that is terribly subjective. As a result, SOME kind of law was put in place to protect the more vulnerable. The only way to give that law an OBJECTIVE measurement was to use the age.

If we go back in time a few years, most all of us would find that our grandmothers or great grandmothers were married pretty young by today's standards. It was perfectly acceptible, if not expected back then to have your 14 year old daughter married off...

Why not today? Well, Society and education are far more complex. Our lives are governed by so much more now that it takes longer to prepare our children to function in society. It takes longer to socialize them, longer to educate them, and longer for them to mature to the point where they actually can leave home. The problem is that physiologically, they are "ready" for sex at the same time as they ever were. (yes, around 14-ish) <uh, coach says if there's grass on the field it's playable>

It makes for some difficulty, especially when our religious values are set up the way they are... Is it REALLY reasonable to believe that we can keep kids from doing what comes naturally? Especially if they start getting the "urge" at 14 and don't get married until 25 or so??? That is not a terribly well considered prospect, christian or not.

What do I find hot?? Honestly? I prefer a more mature woman (always have). I like them with some experience, so they know what they like, and are willing to share that with me. :-)
