That's kinda implying that back when he was 16, there was anything other than being tempted by their supple young flesh. And whatever the reproductive peak might be, teenagers are still, generally speaking, excellent choices for mating with in biological terms. So attraction can't be helped. Acting on it can.

... What's wrong with necrophilia again? Other than it being squicky? You can't hurt an inanimate object.

That's why pedophiles do their thing to show children that they are beautiful and loved!

If I seem glib, it's because I can't bring myself to care too much about people who've been sexually abused. I was, I'm still alive, it doesn't impact my day-to-day life, except insofar as a determination not to be so infringed upon again. *shrugs* I have no time for excessive QQing about it.
