   All fine. I am able to consider all the possibilities   
   you highlighted, except you failed to mention   
   anything about my most important point. Why are all   
   the guys you admire look like 18 years old? That seems to be   
   the common denominator in all these guys you 'like'.   
      
   Certainly such an obvious connection needs an   
   explanation? What happens to your interest as they   
   get older? I am genuinely curious about that seeming   
   'anomaly' that highlights my suspicion and speculation.   
      
   And are they all males? And you keep posting wishing   
   for twinks. Plus you think I'm strange for thinking   
   that's strange. Certainly there's something more going   
   on than you just scouting for 'talent'.   
      
      
   Perhaps I have a block from being attracted to 'children'.   
   Perhaps, as you say, it's just me being a prude. But to me   
   it still seems very unnatural and makes me uncomfortable.   
      
   Most of they guys you post, I see nothing in them.   
   I would forget about them seconds after seeing then,   
   yet you keep bringing them up.   
      
   I'm open to the idea it's something going on in me,   
   but I hope not and don't think so. I don't know anyone   
   else constantly trying to show me videos of exceptionally   
   young men. Please say whatever you can to make me feel   
   more 'comfortable'.....
