Not sure where this belongs
in terms of responses to people, but I think there is a difference between being attracted to a 16-y-o person and finding a 16-y-o's body/face to be aesthetically pleasing in a lustful way, because it is lithe, and the skin is firm and unwrinkled, etc. The IM conversation creeped me out because it wasn't that he was looking at the guy or anything, it was that he was having a highly sexually charged interaction on a purely mental level. I don't remember who said that a 16-y-o may not be ready mentally, but is physically -- and in a way the Foley thing was about asking the person to have a pretty mature mentally sexual relationship.
OK, there is some other word than mental that I should be using here, but I haven't had dinner and I can't think of it.
That conversation to me was way, way ickier than if Foley'd been hanging out in the page's gym's locker room and jerking off in a shower stall (in an actually discreet way) to what he was seeing. Because he was interacting with the kid and wanting the kid to be an active participant in the conversation. And, btw, the kid didn't seem that into it in that IM conversation, but maybe there were others where he was more into it.
