Thanks John. As a parent too, I'm sure you wrestle with what is best. I can't say everything I did was perfect - though I have tried my best. The out of control behavior has disappeared - whether it is sublimated or redirected away time will tell.
I'm sure once he gets older and if he still has this desire, he can find a young woman who will fulfill all his desires, but as his mother I had to set boundaries.
Your other points are well taken about teaching him about respect for women and not to view them as sex objects. I don't necessarily agree on permitting or creating an environment for the other things to flourish but as we are both noting, we have to make what we think are the best decisions for our children.
Thanks for your thoughts, I do deeply appreciate them!
