Once again these comments are beside the point of the original assertion that Dr. Klein quite properly challenged as containing a false assumption. That original aasertion in the Crazy Horse posting was that because of an age difference between the oval-office participants in a sexual encounter the actions of the older participant went "beyond sexual misconduct." But this is clearly a faulty assertion worthy of being challenged, for there is no evidence that there is necessarily something amiss with consenting sexual relations between adults simply because the participants differ widely in age. This lack of evidence exists regardless of whether one claims that something is amiss for either party since neither adult is acting wrongly SIMPLY because of an age difference. There is no justifiable grounds to be found in the science of psychology for circumscribing the boundaries in this way of what one can regard as "beyond sexual misconduct." Such narrowly demlimited boundaries do a disservice to the rational study of human sexuality and to the reputation of psychotherapists who wish to claim a rational or scientific foundation for what they do in order to justify their licenses as health, rather than as religious, professionals.
