Is it really worth so much to always have dozens of beautiful girls
(maybe even women!) chasing you, horny for your bod?  To have your
faults and indiscretions overlooked?  To have younger boys coming
up to you and telling you how they hope to grow up to be just like
you some day?  To get special attention and favors from strangers
who recognize you?

I guess you're right, this kind of treatment would get kind of boring,
especially after a couple of decades.	:-)
