Good essay. Naked bike rides, while scenic, sounds extremely uncomfortable. Having been a biker/mountain biker in my younger years, I can't image squashing the lads on a seat without a proper pair of shorts for a cushion.

16... well, I don't know...I mean, 16 yr olds have been sexually active for generations including this one, and not so far back, girls were married and mothers by then or soon after. Should the 50 yr old guy shown some respect and restraint? Absolutely. Frankly, the age of the female shouldn't matter. Notice and appreciate beauty, sure. But don't get all lustful about it. Respect should come on the heels of acknowledgement.

What bothers me more than this example is the recent presentations of ultra liberal women speakers professing the pedophelia is a sexual orientation and should be accepted. Now, that's effed up.

The whole music/fame/influencer (god, I hate writing that word) is so messed. The male messaging is so bad, so derogatory, yet because fame somehow wipes the slate clean, girls eat that imaging up.

On the other hand, women seeing and using their bodies as a commodity, capitalizing on male lust must be empowering. Look at the explosion of girls on OF. Selling face and body with no concern about future careers or family image. I can't sort it out, that's for sure.
