Re: Age gap

[(Anonymous)]

Depends on how old I am / how old they are when it happens.

As long as everyone is in the "same stage of life" to me it feels more or less ok, and "adult" spans a lot of years. With the caveat that "technically legal adult according to the government at ~18 years old" and "actual mature adult IRL at usually ~25-30+" are not the same thing.

Re: Age gap

Your caveat is illogical. If I at 18 could consent to sex/a relationship with someone my own age, I was equally capable of consenting to same with someone 5, 10, 25 years older. If you think people aren't mature enough to make their own decisions until they're 25 to bleeding 30, campaign to raise the age of consent. Or realize how sodding ridiculous that is, and stop exercising such judgment of other people's consensual choices and who they fall in love with.

"such judgment"

Judgment such as what?

Bruh. Going "yo 18 year old + 58 year old is probably a bad idea, that 18 year old is unlikely to know what the heck they're getting into, and if they were 28 they'd be way more likely to have a better idea" is not the same thing as "omg this is so terrible and bad and morally wrong and I want to make this illegal for everybody, I judge you and your consensual choicessss." LOL

DA - I think you can recognize that you have to respect an 18yo's right to make their own choices, while also simultaneously acknowledging that if an 18yo is in a relationship with a 45yo, they are in a high-risk relationship. And certainly, any 45yo who gets into a relationship with an 18yo had better be very fucking aware that, statistically, their young partner is in a high-risk situation, and as the older partner, they'd better be damn carful of exactly how they handle themselves in the relationship, because even if they have only the best of intentions, they could still end up causing a disproportionate amount of damage for this other person.

I don't think a much older person should be punished or socially ostracized for having consensual sex or a relationship with someone who is barely legal. However, if the much older person is even remotely cavalier about the relationship, or feels unfairly put-upon when people side-eye them for their choice of partner, then IMO they've already proven that they are prioritizing their own desires ahead of their partner's best interests.

Exactly. Acknowledging something is riskier doesn't mean you want to ban it or that you find it morally apprehensible, just that it's not necessarily blanket "okay, whatever, sure" like it might be if the situation were different. Also acknowledging that something is not necessarily blanket "okay, whatever, sure" doesn't mean you want to legally ban people from taking risks or making their own decisions, because sometimes it is fine. It is just clearly a very different situation between 18-48 where it's typically young adult/mature adult and 28-48 or 28-58 where both are typically mature adults.
