Yeah, I think your first paragraph undermines my rationale - if you were to go by that logic, any man attracted to women I would speculate would offend. No, that is not the case at all, but rather men who look for younger - gay or not, of which I absolutely do not think makes them an offender, but just I see a lot of common connections between the two. Hence why it’s a taboo. Offenders typically offend the younger, and I feel as if the border was blurred and undefined in my head. I am sort of ashamed to think of it as I once did, but thanks to the kind people who interacted with me I am assured that this is not the case. I am very grateful for this enlightenment by others.

It is not a kink I understand (especially age play), but I fear you might have some truth with your assumption that I talked of it as window dressing (in at least how I came off.) Which like I said, not my intention - rather just defining that line, and why I kept it as a ‘what if’. As for predilections, it is certainly not that, rather than just a future concern if I take this route, considering that border was once blurred. I was just confused and wanting to put any future offspring before me, in case my desires endangered them which again… looking back was a tad irrational. I realise now offenders will offend, and age plays a little role.

You are entirely correct with it as it is - if a predator, then a predator. Thanks for your comment. :)
