lauralhI finished the Tom Robbins last night, and it was one of those "interesting but didn't speak to me" kind of books. Switters kind of had diarrhea of the mouth and never finished any of his interesting ideas, and I'm still incredibly prejudiced against pedophiles.
So yeah, more unpopular ideas: I think there's nothing wrong with being sexually attracted to teenagers, but that should be the extent of it. Maybe it was different before high school and college became widespread, but nowadays most people don't start really maturing until after age twenty. There are many factors for this, one is that teenagers are not self-actualized, and aren't encouraged to do so. Another factor is that even when they are forced to, the hormonal soup contained makes it hard to focus on logic, rationality, and critical thinking. To young people, things seem so much more important than they really are, and learning this is one of the first steps to "growing up."
Point being, having a sexualized relationship with someone who hasn't achieved self-actualization and still thinks pink is really really cute is more or less the equivalent of, well, fucking a dog because it's got a lot of personality.
