However, the differences between boys and girls wrestling together and boys and girls dancing together are only matters of degree. In many respects, dancing is worse. The atmosphere is more conducive to sexual thoughts on the dance floor than the gym floor in a wrestling competition. When dancing, the kids are dressed up and wearing cologne to make them smell good. When wrestling, they are hot and sweaty.
Music adds to the romantic atmosphere of dancing.
I imagine that a teenage boy's fear of being beaten by a GIRL might be strong enough to inhibit even his libido for a while. Thus, while I would strongly oppose co-ed wrestling, I can't honestly say that it is worse than boys and girls intimately touching one another on the dance floor. Perhaps this comparison might help someone see more clearly the dangers associated with what many have come to view as an innocent pastime.
