By old enough to have sex, I meant the biology works, the urges are in place.

I was _old enough_ to have sex when I was thirteen.  For reasons ranging from
"age of consent" laws to the clap epidemic in my neighborhood I
refrained till I was post-jailbait and met someone I trusted to avoid disease
if possible, and treat it if it occurred.  Jeff and I weren't talking about 
babyrape.

But I say again, a woman who falls for manipulation of the sort Jeff
mentioned, is stupid.  And there is no way I or anyone else can protect the
fool from her folly.

By the way, I had a relative who attempted to molest me, starting when I was
about four.  Since he made me feel funny, I pissed on his lap every time he
picked me up.  Didn't take too long to re-educate him, either.  Wish I'd told
my mom, though -- she thought I had a bladder problem, when I had an uncle
problem.
