Big age differences in relationships

I refuse to date anyone under 20.

lol but youre not even 20 yet, isnt that kind of a double standard?

Wait, maybe I don't get something.

But when they say "age of consent" is it the age when somebody can enter sexual activity with any person of any age, right?

Because they have ages of consent low as 12 and in Italy it's 14.

I'd like to date an 11 year old girl... And have sex.

Well she's right isn't she. Most people under 20 don't have much of a brain. I think the age that a person settles and finds a small answer to it's self searching is around 27-30. The you are good for 10-15 years until you get a mid life crisis.

I'm off turned by them, usually 3 maybe 4 years a difference is the max ill go unless they are both adults which its normal to have upwards to 10 years in age differance, One of the reasons why in gintama i cant get into the kagura and sougo ship everyone seems to love, the age difference is way to jarring
[/qote]
Basically this ^
But I actually ship Kagura X Sougo. I actually find that I don't mind age differences as long as they aren't too large, in anime and other forms of fiction.

I think after they reach age 18, age isn't really a factor.

When both are at least 18, it doesn't matter. Just when the age of the older person is closer to the partners parent age than to the partners age it's time to rethink the situation.

But it's gross with old people having sex. There should be a law.

The age difference gap is puritanism protectionism. How does the age of a partner affect the younger person? If someone shouldn't be having sex at age X, then that person shouldn't be having sex whether the partner is age X or age X + 40.

IntroverTurtle said:
No I don't think it's to have sex with someone of any age.

Here it's 16 but someone who's 16 can only have sex with someone over the age of 18 if they are 18 - 21 any older and it's illegal. But when you turn 18 then it's any age. I believe they are trying to blur the line a little, because there are all sorts of situations that people get into and they know that there isn't a set age that people are attracted to and there isn't a set age where people become mature enough to have sex.

as long as it's legal and there's consent, i don't see a problem with relationships of any age difference. it shouldn't be anyone's concern other than the ones in the relationship themselves.

i don't know the "legal age" outside of where i live but 18 sounds like a pretty good standard to me.

When I was like 13 I intentionally went after guys in their 20's because I love big age gaps and like the idea of being an older guy's loli. (I still do actually even though I'm an adult now and it can only be pretend. v_v le sigh) I think I was probably somewhat exceptional in that I knew exactly what I was doing and was prepared to accept the consequences if I got raped and I think most little girls who end up in those kinds of relationships are just incredibly stupid and naive and are unaware that the guy is just taking advantage of them.

Have you ever thought of making a career in the porn industry?

Nequam said:


There are women who legitimately have a career in prostitution (they choose it because it's fun and not because of financial circumstances) in the high-end rear of things, they kind of lead a double life and get paid well (>$100/hr).

The max is 5 years

That's escorts, it's a very difficult to get into because there are many many pretty girls out there who are willing to do that sort of thing for money. It's also not something you remain into for very long (younger, pretty girls come in etc).

My first boyfriend was six years older than me - I was 17, he was 23.

I'd actually like to point out that in Australia, that isn't considered wrong or weird. Sixteen is the legal age for sex in some states, seventeen in others.

I can also relate to Babby-Princess... I've always liked older guys and enjoyed playing the "loli" persona back in the day. I knew what I was doing.

I'm too old to be a loli now, though. :(

am now debating whether to move to australia or not
HMMM

May as well, as long as you stick to girls 16/17+

I'm fairly sure the law is something like, if the minor is 16/17+ (depending on which state), their lover can be up to five years older than them without consequence.

That being said, not many people would call the police because their daughter had a boyfriend six years older than them. I guess we're just more laid back here. I'm not sure.

That being said, not many people would call the police because their daughter had a boyfriend a few years than them. It's just not seen as a big deal. I guess we're just more laid back here. I'm not sure.

IntroverTurtle said:
Yeah my state's law is something similar to that, but it also has something saying the person over 18 cannot be in a position above the younger person. As in a teacher, coach, or boss.

Ellamenopea said:

Yeah, that's another thing. The only time anyone makes a huge deal about a 16 year old having sex with someone in their 20s is if it's a teacher, boss, etc.
