"Not so much a double standard as we worry more about the girls. It's easier for harm to come to them," he said honestly. "If it's of their will when they're old enough to wield that will and choice, then more power to them." It wasn't like John wasn't a man-slut of sorts himself, and Connor didn't really get it, but to each their own. John was mostly happy. It might not be behavior he really approved of, but so long as no one was getting hurt, Connor generally didn't judge, though he was less likely to trust someone with a long and varied history like that if he were to go into a relationship. "My sister nearly got in a lot of trouble in her mid-teens, with a guy who wasn't up to much good. I just know I worried more about her and that than my brother."
There were several scandalous stories, and Connor had made his share of mistakes or decisions he shouldn't have made. But he'd also been rather young when he'd gone on the road and he had been still learning. "We've all gotten in trouble a few times and made our share of somewhat public oopses." He shrugged slightly and sighed. It wasn't always easy to be in th epublic eye, which was one reason he was enjoying being around her so much, though he was honestly intrigued and taken with her in her own right.
"I appreciate that," he said softly. He truly did. "I will try not to belabor it, though. It's just been a really hard month or so."
