Poor job of “straightening” anything out, my friend. We weren’t discussing the differences between girls and guys, so your point is irrelevant at this time.

You actually stated that young boys seldom if ever traumatized, by these events, and I challenged you to back that up. Your only statement was that “....Because I was once a (typical) 15 year old guy and,despite the efforts of many to convince us that males and females are the same,there are substantial differences between the sexes...including during the teenage years.”

They are traumatized by adult seduction, and there is no shame in admitting that you were wrong.

Gee,I thought we had only started to straighten this out but it's now clear to me that I was wrong!

Without an acknowledgment that boys and girls are *substantially* different at that age there's no way that you can come to understand this situation.You say you know two guys who were traumatized.Not knowing the details of their situations I can't comment on them.Guys that age most assuredly can be traumatized...*badly* traumatized...by older guys (or any guy,for that matter) in a situation like that...largely because there's likely to have been force/coercion involved...as is usually the case with an adult male and a young girl.But I'll wager that with most adult female/young boy situations the woman voluntarily offers herself to him knowing that he's very likely to voluntarily (eagerly) accept her offer.In such situations it's highly unlikely that the boy will be psychologically traumatized.That's not to say that there aren't reasons why it would have been better that it didn't happen but,usually,psychological trauma (suffered by the boy) isn't one of those reasons.

Feel free to believe otherwise if you wish.But if you *really* want to know the truth (about the "trauma" aspect) ask various men.Perhaps here.I know that that might be awkward (understandably) but that's the only way I can think of for you to understand this.
