Four houses away from me is a really active "all boy" boy, about 14 (has to be because he has a paper round), small for his age, wearing cute clothes, wayward blond hair, always out on a bike or his skateboard. An imperfectly perfect kid.

He is just the type of lad I would have fallen for when I was a teenager.

Today I am pleased that I see him as simply a gorgeous sight for the eye, almost a beautiful statue or painting. He is well worth looking at, but is absolutely unlustable after. I don't just mean "off limits", which he most certainly is, I mean that it is appreciation of aesthetics, not lust.

As a teen I would have hoped to befriend and more. Never managed, only ever hoped! I wonder if the change is because of logic and total realisation that kids absolutely do not need or want adult sexual interest, or if I am just growing up. I don't suppose it matters which, but I'm grateful it has arrived.

Now, if only I found guys of my own age attractive...... I wonder if you have any idea how lost I feel sometimes......
