I doubt the initial speculation was a serious one, but just because I feel strongly about this particular corner of the arc, I'll answer this. But first a cavil:

"Even think about" is a pretty strong qualifier. I mean, he's nearly fourteen. At that age, the male of the species "even thinks about" sexual congress with just about anyone who meets his basic standards of attraction, up to and including his close relations, total strangers on the street, and long-dead historical figures. That's in much the same way that you or I "even think about" being unfathomably wealthy, though. It'd be cool, but it's not seriously expected to happen. :)

Now, if you rephrase your question as "seriously consider", then the answer is obviously, as you no doubt meant to imply, "He wouldn't."

Whoa, easy there, Trig. You're getting so honked off you're leaving lines incomplete. My dad does that sometimes, gets so mad he can't finish one sentence before he has to start another... :)

Anyhow, I think - I hope! - the whole post was in jest, 'cause nothing there is particularly take-seriousable, to mangle the language for my own nefarious purposes. :)
