really, how creepy for a progressive board group of men to ask.. how young of a girl can we lust

[Moonwalk]

155. From my pov, the question is creepy because it is asking for permission...

...to lust after girls of a certain young age. Meaning, the person is seeking to excuse their lust for girls of a certain young age by getting group approval on it.

You, I think, have confused some of the responses here with this question. There are men who feel such lust for young girls and say, "This is bad...I've a problem...I sure hope I can control it or do something about it...." They may not be able to stop feeling it. Our body chemistry and biology often drive us to want things that aren't socially acceptable, and, yes, how we were raised (pavlov's dog responses if you like) is included in that. Sometimes we can change this (pavlov's dog re-training). Sometimes not. We know certain people have inherited addiction problems. If they, say, start to drink they are likely to become alcoholic. And have a difficult time breaking that addiction no matter how much they want and choose to do so. And no matter how aware they are of how bad it is for them and their family.

But the difference here is between the person who says, "I've a chemical/biological issue that isn't good for me or anyone else, and I want to control it and not have it harm anyone," and the person who, in this case, said, "I want to know at what point it's socially acceptable for me to indulge in this chemical/biological issue I've got...."

You keep taking issue with the responses discussing biology, chemistry, etc. of such "lust." But they aren't arguing against you. Meaning, they're not saying this question wasn't creepy. They're only arguing for ways to deal with men who feel such lust. The true creepiness of this question--and that no one is arguing, I think--is that this man undoubtedly knows he should not feel such lust for children; but he is trying to avoid admitting this, and that he needs help. So he's like the alcoholic who says, "on what occasions can I drink?" rather than admitting that he can't.

And this is why, by the way, all the rest of these people here saying, "I'm an adult and I don't feel lust for teens..." etc. is moot. That's like saying, "I look at bottle of alcohol and never feel like getting drunk...." Biology/chemistry varies. And in dealing with alcoholism, we have to deal with facts about alcoholics, not the personal facts about us non-alchoholics.
