re: teen boys and sex
This is biological - it's a fact that teenage boys are the most unfortunate looking creatures on earth and older men are hot, just as it's a fact that teenage girls are hot and women past menopause aren't sexually appealing to most men. A little thought will tell you that this isn't maliciousness on anyone's part, it's evolutionary: in a natural state, men prove themselves before mating, so that only the best men mate, and women mate young and prove their fitness as parents by living through childbirth and keeping their progeny alive.
However, we're a long way from a natural state. Women past the age of fertility now want to marry. Teenage boys can now get laid without getting anyone pregnant. It would be nice, therefore, if someone wanted to screw these people. But I wouldn't bet on the situation changing any time soon - sexual desire is more instinctive than logically controlled. Give it a few thousand years.
