Yes, I hate his age but still fascinating.

And they totally admit that Shakespeare's boys would have been younger (and, doubtless, cuter).

Dress was, to a great extent, gender in Shakespeare's time. But his audiences saw (and lusted after) the penis beneath the gowns. The costumes authorized this lust. To permit it, while at the same time permitting denial of it, was the point.

Shakespeare staged marriages between men and boys. These were erotic provocations and were appreciated as such. He (and many other dramatists of his time) displayed boys as objects of sexual desire. This conformed to the sexual ethos of the period; to men of Shakespeare's time, boys were hot.
