Fact vs Theory
Sun, Jun. 7th, 2009 15:44Caution: conversation on topics rated T (for teen!) and above. I didn't get explicit, but the relevance of testosterone is promulgated strongly by my debate opponent.
It occurs to me that a young man, such as one born in 1985 and therefore of scarcely more than 20 years in age, might cling to the myth that older men don't much have a sex drive as support for the assumption that he'd better have as much sex NOW as he can, because later on he won't like it any more. Self-interest can lead an argument way past the "people in a more knowledgeable position are providing independent evidence that I am wrong" point.
