Only girly-men take offense or say “uh-oh” to themselves when contemplating the idea of a teenage male getting lucky with a pretty adult woman.
In Robert Mulligan‘s Summer of ’42 (’71), 15 year-old Hermie (Gary Grimes) lucks into a one-off with the beautiful but heartbroken Dorothy (Jennifer O’Neill) after she’s received news that her husband has been killed in combat.
For my money Summer of ’42 was too sensitive and restrained. Not even a little bit raunchy…booo!
I was 15 once. I used to dream of some 25 or 30-year-old hottie doing me a huge favor. All healthy 15 year-old lads desire this.
I’m personally appalled that guys like Mark Faulkner find the notion of a teenaged boy receiving an intimate gift from an older woman distasteful or even felonious. I replied to Faulkner’s Facebook post by asking, “Is there something wrong with you?”
Followup message to Faulkner: “There’s no ‘The’ in the title.”
