That's a valid point if true.

Wait a second, I missed something - are you saying that Wolfe used this
idea of innocence in describing Baldanders's catamite?  How exactly?

Also, I was struck by this "wilson&cox" quote:

These traits are just our societal norms of attractiveness.  They are
not unique to children.
