I've already addressed this.

I really do not care what fucked up version of sexuality you have found in your youthful naive mind. It matters not if you are 500 years old. You have the intellect of an immature child when it comes to sexuality.

I may have some mileage now, but I can still rock a raging boner. Hell I am like a dog in heat as I drive around and see those HAWT women wearing practically nothing. Fantabulous.
But somehow, I would never do anything about that. Why would I? I had my time as a young turk back in the day. Now, it is someone else's time to have their's.
Would I happily bounce wobbly bits with those women? Sure, with full consent, and a one night stand more than likely since the age difference would transcend any mutual meeting of minds, if there even is a mind to meet. Most young men and women these days are airheads. And one cannot build a meaningful relationship of any sort on a foundation of fuck all squared.
No, these days what I seek in a partner is intelligence. That might seem trite to you in your youthful enthusiasm, but it is true. Give me a smart woman everyday. Those I appreciate. Hot young bimbo's are not really all that attractive once one scratches the surface.
I am quite sure that the reverse is true and hot young men are not so attractive either once one scratches the surface. I lack field experience in that regard but I am certain some others will step in to fill that evidential gap

That makes very little sense.You might want to think that out. It makes absolute sense for the propagation of the species, especially given that the human race is not really fecund compared to other species.

It's actually influencing me to look at it. Yet, I still have this urge to not look at it.Then don't look at it. Where is the problem?
