Did 17 Just Become The New Black?

Something's changed. I don't know when or how it happened but suddenly horny 17-year-olds - and younger - fucking or having their dicks sucked are popping up and out everywhere in contemporary culture. From as recently as Porn-performer Brent Corrigan being outed as 17 while performing (after the fact) - and it barely making a dent in his remarkable success in a post-underaged porn present - to popular culture where kids are coming out earlier and earlier (and experimenting sexually the way straight kids do), to the sexploits of 17-year-old Billionaire Chuck Bass on "Gossip Girl" being regularly lured into  various dens of inequity - this week, hookers - by his uncle (I know, right! What's incest?!) or a teenage boy-genius who literally gets his barely illegal cock sucked by a patient (who turns out to be transgendered) in this week's "Nip/Tuck", it's everywhere. And what's unusual is that this time there just doesn't appear to be much of a problem. Or at least not in the comments section here to a recently discovered 16-year-old in a mad, sexual relationship with a woman hitting 30. Oh, and which started three years ago. Oh, sure, there were hoots of pedophilia. (Except it's not pedophilia. It's ephebophilia, a sexual attraction to teenagers.) But for every death-wisher this lady had, there was an equally vocal opponent laughing at the thought that a healthy, heterosexual 13-year-old male  having sex with an older woman was somehow a "victim" and, thus, was worth destroying a woman's life over. And there appears to be a 'No Judgment Zone' on shows like "Gossip Girl" and "Nip/Tuck" where there's an implicit understanding that anything goes as long as you're discreet and don't get caught. After all, if Sean McNamara can have his pubes shaved by a patient and a diaper-fetishist who cries out, "Who's your mommy?!" while getting off, why are we supposed to look askew on a 17-year-old who gets a blow job from a woman with a cock and balls? You will remember that the young Indian internist - far from being traumatized did say: "It was the best sex of my life!" And of the two adults present - one, the patient's husband and the other, sexually-uninhibited Christian Troy- neither seemed particularly concerned with any laws, legal or otherwise. And it's a trend - the sexual objectification of 16 and 17-year-olds I suspect we're going to see more of since once we Americans open sexual doors, we rarely if ever shut them.
