I dunno. I was in my teens when I watched Knight Rider (the original series) via Finnish TV, for example, and I guess I found Hasselhoff sexy, but that was not the main reason I watched it; I watched it for KITT. And when I bought the DVD set in my forties and watched it again, I still loved it, exactly as I had in my teens, although I no longer found Hasselhoff particularly sexy. KITT was as cute as ever, though. Yeah, of course I'm aware Knight Rider is as far from quality TV as Earth from the Andromeda Galaxy, but that has never stopped me from enjoying something.
That is what I meant about my tastes not changing. I've never loved something purely because the main character was sexy; I must also love the story, the world, other characters and so on. Otherwise I'm bored, no matter how sexy the leading male is.
