Prince Andrew Can't Sweat

Doing wrong is not black and white even in law.

My own father who of course had never heard of Prince Andrew, could not sweat. My mother , who had never heard of Prince Andrew, told me this when I was was girl . My mother did not explain about the adrenaline thing as she had no medical knowledge, but after Andrew's admission about not sweating . I can understand how hormones are affected by some severe life events. My father was at the Eastern Front during the Great War.

Also in support of Prince Andrew, he probably did not even know that it was illegal or even immoral to shag an unknown and poor seventeen year old girl. Very rich people have odd childhoods, and it takes special efforts by parents and teachers to teach them what real life is.

IMO It’s is still abhorrent to for any human to knowingly use another human purely for their own gratification .

In what way is this post to be rudely dismissed as ‘sounding like a nun’

Bridgeit Mon 10-Jan-22 14:56:06

You have not understood one word I have written , ahh well

Peasblossom Mon 10-Jan-22 14:55:12

I fear am damned forever, in Bridgeits eyes?

But somehow less immoral than someone who makes such judgements about others.

Bridgeit Mon 10-Jan-22 14:54:59

None of the over privileged should be USING the young & underprivileged

Peasblossom Mon 10-Jan-22 14:53:39

It was thank you. But not a relationship.

Bridgeit Mon 10-Jan-22 14:53:30

I am a nun, as in there should be None of this & None of that in certain circumstances !

Peasblossom Mon 10-Jan-22 14:53:02

It has to be FUN for Both participants

Bridgeit Mon 10-Jan-22 14:51:15

Peasblossom?

Caleo Mon 10-Jan-22 14:50:41

Peasblossom, sex may indeed be just a piece of fun. Fun is when the participants are equals.

Germanshepherdsmum Mon 10-Jan-22 14:50:38

Bridgeit, if I may say so you sound like a nun.

Peasblossom Mon 10-Jan-22 14:47:31

Umm. It was just a bit of fun.

Where does that stand in your morality?

"It is not immoral to have sex with someone 20 years your junior" wrote Anniebach

Morality of some behaviours is not black and white. The criterion for who can and who cannot consent to sex is the difference in the power of the people involved.

Even if Epstein's sex workers had been intelligent adult women, if they were poor and in need and his employees, means the rich and powerful man (their employer) should have protected their best interests.

Bridgeit Mon 10-Jan-22 14:45:28

I should make it clear that I am referring to , having sex with as opposed to being in a relationship with.

Bridgeit Mon 10-Jan-22 14:43:42

Yes sadly for what ever reason there are way too many immoral humans around.

Bridgeit Mon 10-Jan-22 14:41:42

Anniebach Mon 10-Jan-22 14:40:59

Peasblossom same for me

Anniebach Mon 10-Jan-22 14:39:31

There are millions of immoral people by your judgement
Bridgeit

Peasblossom Mon 10-Jan-22 14:39:28

Ilovecheese

Bridgeit I agree with your post.
I would add that I think any middle aged man who has sex with a teenager is an unpleasant sleaze.
trisher 's post was perfectly reasonable.

That’s very judgemental and I couldn’t disagree more.

My “middle aged” (late thirties) boyfriend showed me much more respect and treated me much better than any of the rand, immature boys of my own age or early twenties.

Nothing sleazy about that relationship at all.

Nothing to do with the discussion really, but I couldn’t let such a nasty comment pass.

Anniebach Mon 10-Jan-22 14:37:56

If neither are married,or in an arranged marriage,

Bridgeit Mon 10-Jan-22 14:36:42

I believe it is immoral to use another human being purely for one’s own gratification.

Iam64 Mon 10-Jan-22 14:23:40

In which circumstances

Anniebach Mon 10-Jan-22 14:19:28

It is not immoral to have sex with someone 20 years your junior
