The video says different. Do you think sexual relationships between 13 yr olds and 28 yrs olds are consensual rather than predatory ? Do you thank your priest for improving your fellatio technique ? Is it great for a grown man to teach a boy who he is and give him love and comfort through a sexual relationship ?
That does bring up an interesting point of discussion; how many of us, when we were under 18 (i.e. not adults) had sexual relationships with people who were over 18? And when was it okay, and when was it abuse?
I feel, morally and ethically, that she did no wrong, but legally, she is guilty of the exact same crime. So, what's the difference?
What are sane people supposed to believe facts or the deplorable !?!? /sarcasm
Nah, we hate those who rape women and children
Good point. In my opinion it comes down to whether or not there was some sort of position of power or authority and was that exploited. If a person is capable of consent with a peer they are capable of consent with someone outside their peer group.That does bring up an interesting point of discussion; how many of us, when we were under 18 (i.e. not adults) had sexual relationships with people who were over 18?

If you were a 17 yr old female high school senior, and your boyfriend was a 19 yr old college freshman, was that okay? Why or why not? If you were a 30 yr old man, and you were banging a 15 yr old girl, was that okay? Why or why not?
When I was 15, I was having sex with a woman who was about 30. I don't and never have, felt abused, and when I remember her I sure as hell don't feel any "trauma", I actually smile a little.
How do we draw a line, that isn't going to be arbitrary?
But how many people under 18 can intelligently consent? They are sure as hell not capable of making an informed decision, so isn't it taking advantage? How do we as a society figure out where the line is?
you are lying because you support Muslims
lol... no one wants to hear from "Christians" who support child rape
Only liberals support child rape when's the last time Bill Clinton went to pedophile Island
I don't know. How many people even above 18 intelligently consent? So maybe the standard is not consent so much as consent without undue duress? If you consent to have sex with your 25 yr old bf because you want to compete with older women then that is not undue duress. If you consent to sec with your stepfather because you think he will throw your family out of his house otherwise then that is undue duress. If you are capable of instigating sexual activity and are not otherwise developmentally delayed I would say you are capable of consent. If you express a desire and want to go through with it you are capable of consent even though you may be making a really bad decision. I think it really is a case y case situation and not really something you can make a blanket rule on.
I heard that line. Sounds like he made a bad joke. Sounds like you are trying to make something out of nothing.
Yeah..... and that's the problem with this kind of thing.
This shit is complicated.... last year, I was at my SIL's place and my 14 yr old niece had a 17 yr old young man over. I went and introduced myself and asked a few questions and basically ran his ass off. I asked him where he lived and when he gave me a rather vague answer, I told him; "No I need an exact address. I need to know right where to find you when I decide to come looking for you." That seemed to convince him he needed to be somewhere else.
My niece was pissed at me, but my SIL smoothed it over and thanked me for handling it, even though she said she was already on top of it. Wrong, nobody likes him because he is Troll.
Is he issuing an apology?
We all like him only because he is a troll...
So much of it depends on the players involved. When I was 16 my BF was 21. But, in my family I was the oldest child and always the boss and in control one. And, in his family he was the baby by 8 years and had always been coddled and babied. Plus we had known each other for about 10 months from work, and my parents had met him and his family several times at tennis matches and such. But, in that relationship, i will say I was the boss. Despite our age difference, it was me who was the one who called most of the shotsThis shit is complicated.... last year, I was at my SIL's place and my 14 yr old niece had a 17 yr old young man over.

I need to know right where to find you when I decide to come looking for you." That seemed to convince him he needed to be somewhere else.
The reason I did it is because I felt the age gap was too much.... but how does that differ from what I was doing when I was teenager?
) I was the one with bigger goals, bigger intentions, who knew what I wanted out of life and where I was going, etc... And, my parents had no problem with it. We dated for about 2 years. My mom has since told me that she did not worry at all that I was being taken advantage of because of how we interacted she could tell he was dancing to my tune, and not the other way around. So somehting on your radar must have tipped you off that he was not just a good hearted guy and they had some mutual attraction and he was being respectful and treating her right. OR that something about her, is the kind of person who puts herself in positions where she is not treated right by people. Unfortunately if it is the latter, that will not be so easily solved by just getting older. My daughter is just like me. She knows what she wants, and she takes no crap off of anyone. I have no fear that when ti comes to dating, she will get n relationships where she is being coerced to do things against her desires or before she is ready because there is no way you get that girl to do anything she doesn't want to do.
