I don't know if you wrestled but opposite-sex matches would be fraught with issues, if not for the participants then certainly for the crowd.
Both participants could not avoid but violently grab each other in places that would get them arrested if done in public. Moreover, a big part of the discomfort for the guy would not be sexual but the fact that he was breaking the long-standing dictum forbidding violence against women. How ironic that the people who are pushing same-sex sports regard men as violent prone.
Perhaps if the womens lib movement would back off on their demonetization of men, more boys would be willing to wrestle girls.
My daughter, for a short time, played lacrosse with guys. She had fun and got knocked around a lot. But wrestling is a very different thing.
“I don’t know if you wrestled but opposite-sex matches would be fraught with issues...”
I DID wrestle, and I can tell you on the basis of experience that you’re absolutely right; teenage boys are coming into their sexual peak, with all sorts of other issues, both related to sex and hormones and to ego, as well as maturity, strength, and a whole host of other things. There would most DEFINITELY be issues - and lots of them.
Boys wrestling girls is a very, very, VERY bad idea. In fact, to be candid about it, it is utter madness.
My son always wanted to play hockey, but found lacrosse was good enough to get the hits he desired for some reason.
