with so many young women eager to get their kit off.

Where are all these young women you speak of?? I can't seem to find them. ;-)

Don't fret too much... even the worst of us "oglers", sometimes have the intestinal fortitude to say "No"... and remain faithful.

Helps to have a great woman at home.

It’s important to notice that my original intention was to make people laugh with my Marvin “Gaye” pun.

I was not trying to make a political, or ethical, or personal statement about female nudity.

That said, in spite of my old age, I have never been inclined to apologize for my attraction to young beautiful women.

Nor, have I ever been inclined to apologize for being less attracted to, or not attracted to, less beautiful women or older women.

What would you have me do instead - lie?

And, yes, it is completely obvious that young beautiful women are not attracted to me, so I don’t annoy them, or bore them, or stare at them, or do anything to make them feel uncomfortable.

No... but internalizing your thoughts, especially around your wife, is probably a good idea. ;-)

I feel exactly the same way. But, even my very understanding wife doesn't like to hear much about it.
