Is segregation of the sexes the answer?

I need to apologize. In this age of political correctness, I am indeed an insensitive male lowlife.

At least 60 of my 74 years on this planet, I have admired the female body, from the shape of the head to the slope of the chest, to the sway of the hips and down to the sleek legs. I have enjoyed many glances and sometimes repeated glances at female friends and random women I have encountered during each glorious day on this earth. In the past, I have (made) sexual remarks to women, sometimes just for fun, sometimes with a definite purpose in mind.

I do not know how to change my behavior. I wish someone would tell me where I can go and not be worried about offending women. If you suggest straight to hell I suppose that is an option. I think I would have a lot of female company there who through sexual comments, deeds, dress, and actions have used the same basic sexual urges in their daily lives.

Perhaps segregation is the answer. It did not work for ethnic races but maybe sex is different. It certainly would stop the population explosion.
