Aside from the fact that the Jedi were deeply flawed and hypocritical by nature, Obi-Wan and Yoda the only seeming exceptions, attracted is not a choice.

Of course it is. Or rather, ones reactions to that attraction are the choice. I could be a sick disgusting pervert that's attracted to 8 year olds (I'm 33 btw and not attracted to 8 year olds, just using an example), but I don't have to react on that at all. Similarly, Anakin does not have to react to his "attraction" to a 13 year old, especially when he's married.

You disagree, then pretty much agree with me. Attraction isn't a choice. The sort of reactions are. Reactions, of some sort, are bound to happen because of tension that builds up.

I've explained how they do this without breaking conventions, creating guilt, and making unwise choices.

I don't know where this idea comes from that the Jedi were flawed and hypocritical. It's new as of the PT as far as I know. The Jedi had their rules and traditions for 5000 years, then some snot nosed brat comes along and f's it all up, and they're suddenly flawed and hyprocritical? No, more likely they just got stupid for constantly giving Anakin these "missions" to test him that he kept failing. Anyone else would've stopped giving him shit to do and kicked him out of the order.

Stupid = Flawed.

Putting on a front of peace-keepers, and then going to war = hypocrisy.
