This might be a controversial take, but I think this is part of why the "He was an ephebophile not a pedophile" people have at least a little bit of a point.

While I don't think they're anywhere near as rare as many people think, pedophiles - men who want to fuck 8-y/o's etc. - are going to be in a minority. But men who want to sleep with 17, 16, 15-y/o's? I think if you got them into a consequence-free environment, engaged in a little "locker room talk", about half of men (or more!) would say some very gross things. And being a billionaire or being friends with one is the epitome of a consequence-free environment.

Today, there's more of a stigma around these things. But I guess I would ask that you try to remember how your dad's friends talked when you were growing up, how tv shows from that time - 80's, 90's, early 2000's - talked about conventionally attractive teenagers.
