A totally idiotic and anti-Erotic (with reference to the god of love himself) dividing-
line, whereby one may not make a Romantic/erotic/sexual move toward someone who is not at least half one's age, plus
seven more years. (Or as non-terrans sometimes say in SF stories, "
seven of your years," as though to make the point about the relativity of it all,)
Phaedrus: That gladiator-in-training over there sure has the moves, n'est-ce pas?
Xanthias: Shame on you! He is only
19 years of
age, and your are 26! Don'
t you understand that the "half your age plus
seven" rule is the will of the gods?!
Phaedrus: Right, tell Aphrodite that, after she pounced on that cute Trojan cowboy Anchises; tell Zeus that, after he swept away that other cute Trojan, Ganymede.
