I love this piece Jessica. I am re-editing a book that I wrote and published some of which here on Medium. I am hoping people realize that it is about decisions men make in their attraction to younger women. I have often argued that is is called the veracity of desire vs. external perceptions, where men have these biological needs that are not socially acceptable but very real and valid to them and that they have to pay attention to the receptive truth of their actions and get behind that truth not in front of it and block it out. There are two people involved, not one self-centered narcissist, who recklessly plows to what he wants. There is a delicate balance between desire and opportunity. A sadist will simply ignore the rights and morays of the other party and the masochist will remove himself from the fray. But, either type is contained in each man’s potential. He has to favor a course of action that is good vs. one that is bad. As Maslow said, sex is a lowly physiological need that must be satisfied for other needs, like eventual self-actualization to arise. I don’t know the consequence of unsatisfied men, but I fear it tied to a lack of social, psychological, and economic opportunity.
