Really? Interesting.

The male friends that I have are sexually functional, healthy adults who are attracted to other sexually functional, healthy adults. They're certainly not social recluses, as I have ongoing friendships with them and we go out to places together. They're also in functional, healthy adult relationships with other adults.

Apparently we've got ourselves some pervs on here.

But you said you wouldn't trust any guy who ISN'T attracted to teen girls....
It means that before he was convicted, you would have trusted him. I'm just trying to see the logic in not trusting men who aren't sexually attracted to girls.

well if theyre gay i would

but asexual, no. i don't trust them. what motivates them? what are they thinking about? i don't know. they are weird.

Do you actually know anyone who is asexual? They're no different than anyone else and are fully capable of forming bonds with people.

Who said they're asexual? (I mean, besides you...) Maybe they're just mature, and don't get turned on by children.

all the asexuals i have encountered have been forever alone types.

IMO, I think there's some people who shouldn't be allowed to have consent.

There is a clinical name an definition as it falls into the sexual dysfunction/disorder spectrum. There are age of consent laws, yes, but there are also statutes.

I don't, personally, know any men who are attracted to teenagers - perhaps they are not normal? But, what is "normal"?

Hah!

You live in a convent, don't you?

Perhaps you could be right if by "teen" you mean under 17, or you meant they don't admit they've had an attraction to at least some 17-19 teens (They might not act on this or talk about it.)

but....

no....
no, no, no, no, no

Learn more about men...no offense.
