All it takes for a female to be a cradle robber is being 25 and dating a 21 year old man. But for a man to be a cradle robber she has to be young enough to be his daughter.

Yeah, there is a lot of social programming, and you're probably right about the default assumptions, in most cases. I think it's changing a little bit, with the media coverage of cougars, and a few criminal cases involving female teachers/adolescent boy students. Not that cougars are criminals!!! I'm not confusing them! Just saying there's a trend highlighted in the media about older women/younger men.

Come to think of it, there's probably a lot more acceptance, or even encouragement, these days for the older woman/younger man scenario, as long as they are both consenting adults.

When I was 15 or so we were all wearing baggy clothes and flannels. I was completely covered, no legs, no cleavage...nothing...but I was still having sex.

As far as the bikini comment, that is just hard for me to understand...wearing a bikini at the beach is perfectly acceptable at any age, in my mind. Wearing a bikini to say.....the grocery store would be a bit much though...
