is all there is to morality. As Kinsey pointed out, sexual needs are greatest in the teens, and it doesn't take much thought to conclude that, if the prohibition which you and so many others deplore were removed, there would be much less youthful vandalism and juvenile delinquency.
I think we can be heartened at the smallest step the public takes away from sexual taboos; although we can't expect it to do much striding, it may come to realize that it is simultaneously removing from itself one of the greatest sources of crime, and if so, we can expect it to lengthen its steps somewhat.

Dear Mr. Gregory:
I'm an old man now. I've craved affection for 74 years. I crave affection more than sex, but believe me, both desire and performance are possible and extremely delightful at 74. I've never run round looking for sex, but I've often looked into a man's eyes and desired to love him, but dared never speak. I've been in
love with a man many years and never even spoken to him. Such is the torture of the law in this country, and yours. They talk of British justice. There is no justice if a man's a homosexual.
Our doctors don't understand us at all, and don't want to, nor do our lawyers. They call us perverts. What rot! What God made us, so we remain till death. I married, thinking love for a woman might grow. What a fool I was! How could it? For a homosexual man to marry a woman as I did is wrong and against God. He made me that I should love men and want a man's affection, and I sinned when I married.
You may think that at 74 one has no strong desire. Be both disillusioned and encouraged. Desire, I believe, lives till man's last breath is out, anyway, in me, desire still lives strongly.
Believe me I do understand all the different types. Some I think could behave a bit better, but it's hard and perhaps stupid to put up the fight I do to remain outwardly respectable and within the law.
