I've talked about adult men and teenage boys before, and this article in our local St Louis paper reminds me of who i was at fourteen. In no way was I searching for sex like this boy was, but had I been, i certainly would have gone for guys in college or older and would have disdained to do anything with the tiny guys my age. See, I was pretty big for fourteen. In fact, I haven't grown much since then. At fourteen, I was six feet two, almost two hundred pounds, and bench pressing 300 pounds. I looked nothing like a high schooler, much less a freshman, and people commonly mistook me for a college student, or even a lawyer when i worked in my mother's law office.
I don't condone men having sex with fourteen year olds - i know i could never have handled it - but i am aware that the boy discussed in the article could easily have been the predator. In all three cases, he petitioned the men to have sex with him, and if he looked anything like I did, they probably hardly doubted he was over 18. What should the law do in such a case? it's geared so narrowly that it doesn't count for the misguided fourteen year old who abuses his size. societies for thousands of years have actually pushed sex between young men and adult men. I don't know that's right either, but i hope the law has compassion on these men who may not have done anything wrong had the truth been more clear to them.
