... Also, a fantasy of boinking a college chick has never, ever crossed your mind? Again, fantasy, not actually doing it, but just the fantasy part? Really?
Of course I have had that fantasy. But only as a fantasy. I have never acted on it, nor would I; even now when it might seem justifiable. Why? Because it would be wrong - for many of the reasons I stated above. (And yes, I have had the opportunity in the past, and yes, I have resisted it.)
There is a profound difference between having a healthy sexual fantasy, and indulging one.
A fantasy which exists only in the mind is generally harmless, and can actually enrich one's life. Acting upon harmful fantasies is...harmful.
For instance, I have long had a fantasy involving simply liquidating my possessions, moving to a Greek Island, alone, and having sex with Scandavian tourists. This is a harmless fantasy. It would not be harmless to actually do it.

That is correct. I am 52 and it would be wrong. I subscribe to the "half-your-age plus seven years" theory. Have you heard of it? It makes sense.
A 26 year old may morally have a sexual relationship with a 20 year old. (26/2)+7=20
A 35 year old may morally have a sexual relationship with a 25 year old. (35/2)+7=25
My 49 year old wife may morally have sex with a 32 year old man, but not a 24 year old. (49/2)+7=32; 32>24 (Eight years past the creepy.)
I am 52. The youngest woman I would be even remotely comfortable sleeping with would be 37, which is four years older than my minimum non-creepy dating partner age of 33. (52/2)+7=33
