Perverted vs. lecherous, by Lion of the Blogosphere.

Perverted: abnormal or unnatural sexual desire.

Mother Nature created our sex drive so we would reproduce. There’s nothing unnatural about a man whose sperm is still good being sexually attracted to a sexually mature 14-year-old girl (presumably old enough to have a healthy baby). …

Lecherous: unrestrained or excessive indulgence of sexual desire.

Yes, lecherous would be a good adjective for a man in his early 30s who constantly hits on teenage girls. Even though it’s natural to be attracted to teenage girls, trying to get with them violates social norms. …

The thing about girls under the age of 18 is that it’s really hard for men over a certain age who don’t work in a school to interact with them socially. That’s sort of intentional. Society doesn’t want older men and teenage girls to have any social contact with each other. The only way, I guess, before the internet, would be to cruise malls, a place where teenagers used to hang out without their parents. …

Today, older men can meet teenage girls on the internet. That’s where former Congressman Anthony Wiener met the 16-year-old girl to whom he emailed a photo of his penis. (Which is considered a major crime, even though there’s an abundance of easily viewed penis photos on the internet for any teenager who wants to see them. I feel bad for Wiener, who I met in person a few times and seemed like a decent guy for a Democratic politician.)

One more lecher in the Senate isn’t going to mean the end of democracy. On the other hand, one more Democrat in the Senate could open the floodgates of massive third-world immigration that would indeed end our nation as we know it. Had this news come out before the primary, I would certainly have endorsed Strange over Moore, but the liberal Washington Post made sure to release the story at a time when it would do maximum damage to Republican control of the Senate.
