Iā€™m somewhat over 35 (early 40ā€™s) but dick-pics, sexting and associated media usage hardly raises an eyebrow anymore. The privacy stance and expectations of younger generations are starkly at odds to those of their elders.
And letā€™s face it, a lot of outrage against promiscuity ranges from fake to downright disingenuous. If anything, I expect to see such antics as being progressively less critical in the public judgement of character.

I know Iā€™m the minority here and it probably owes to me being a European and less prudish than most. But hey; judge the guy on his job performance. Youā€™re not voting for a husband here. LBJ was doing way worse at his age and that didnā€™t necessarily work out badly for the electorate.
Alistair Cooke had said in one of his ā€œLetters from Americaā€ something akin to: There are incidents and facets in the lives of all of us that, when exposed under the light of public scrutiny, would provoke reactions of righteous indignation, or for a much earlier quote of ā€œthose without sin, start aimingā€.
