I'm not into teen ships now, but I was in my 20s and early 30s. A lot of it was down to nostalgia. I didn't want to SEE these teens fooling around. I wanted to imagine BEING them fooling around. Because that was gone forever, and I could never have that magic of sexual discovery back.

Not trying to justify shipping teens because Judgey McJudgersons like OP will do what they do regardless. But just to offer a different perspective.

I really relate to this.

I'm gray ace. I like sex and romance - just not when it involves me. But at the same time, I wish I could enjoy those things myself, I just don't seem to be wired for it. And at a certain point in my late twenties, it really sunk in that I wasn't ever going to experience certain things, like that first dizzying crush at thirteen, or that first relationship that felt so important and so consuming and so newly adult at all of fifteen. That kind of stuff. Even if I somehow did find a relationship that worked for me now, I'd be an adult getting into it with an adult's experiences and sensibilities.

I'll never have any of those teenage "firsts" myself. Which makes me really love them when they show up in fiction.

Although personally I'm still not here for any explicit stuff involving young/mid teen characters. Either keep it vague, or keep it relatively innocent is how I feel about that.
