Is it ok for a 17 year old to have sex with a 36 year old?

I know a girl who is 17 and seeing a 36 year old man for sex. Is it wrong? i honestly think it's fine because 17 year old are nearly adults to me.

  • I'd say it's irrelevant to nearly every aspect of day-to-day life. You get up, you go to work, you come home, take one good shit, and go to bed. Where does "oh who's having sex with whom" come into play here? As long as it's legal, nobody's getting hurt... eh, whatever. Let me put it another way: would you like to hear about everybody's personal sex life? If not, then why does the personal sex life of these 2 people matter?

  • Depends on the law. It's ok in many states and many countries... but I still think it's not morally right. Clearly she has lots of issues and the man is taking advantage of her.

    • 17 year olds cannot be taken advantage of

    • Lol ok

    • Age is irrelevant. It makes a good average but not everyone applies. Some are ready sooner, some are ready later. Nobody's the same.

  • the age of consent in most places is 16; however, the 17-yeard-old is still a minor in the eyes of the law, and the 36-year-old having sex with her could end up on rape charges, even if the sex is consensual.

  • hell yes thats wrong.. she is not legal yet.. thats statutory rape and his ass will land in jail as a sexual offender and it will go with him for life! Wait until she is at least 18/19

    • LOL 17 years olds have the mentality of adults, i think it's pathetic for someone to go to jail for that.

    • Its pathetic to go to jail for having sex with an underage girl? I'm sure pedo's love you. It doesn't matter if she has the mentality of an adult the point is she IS underage.. and if she was really smart she wouldn't be trying to screw around with a 36 year old.

    • There would be no difference if she was 18, so why does it matter? just because someone is underage, doesn't mean someone is a pedophille. You seem brainwashed to me, you have no idea what you are on about.

  • Not so much, if you had said he was 25 -30 maybe just maybe... but no I do not think this is an appropriate relationship for you to be in.

    • What are you talking about? this is not about me and how does it matter if he is 30 or 36?

    • Ok well whoever it is for, I still stand by what I said I really dont find it to be an appropriate relationship.

  • Well, of course it's not okay. That's just downright creepy and disgusting.

    • Also, at 17 you are nowhere near an adult. If you can't even legally drink, then you shouldn't be calling yourself an adult.

    • 17 is nearly adult, there is no difference between them and 18 year olds, it is hardly creepy.

    • If you're 18, you're legally an adult. Just because we have a silly drinking law in this country doesn't mean 18-20 year olds aren't "adults." I think it's weird, but it's not immoral. Many 17 year olds look exactly like 20-somethings. If it was a 14 year old, that would be completely wrong. Anything under that, is literally pedophilia.

  • Am I right that we've had this discussion?

  • Its wrong.

  • well 36 years old is not a old man lol. first its not our damn business if they want to have sex 2. 17 she is in the right age to do what she ever want to do 3. its not our problem anymore if they caught or she got pregnant ;) :) :)

  • No. Absolutely not.

  • I don't think it's morally right from a mental standpoint.

    Physically speaking, you're right, 17 year olds really aren't much different than adults. Many of them can be confused with 20-somethings.

    However, mentally speaking, 17 year olds can be manipulated, and they seem to be naive. Coming from that perspective, I don't agree with this.

  • 16 is the age of consent here so there wouldn't really be anything wrong with that.

  • Yes, I think it's fine. As long as she is not completely misinterpreting what the relationship is, I don't see a problem.

  • Not only is it wrong but also illegal

    • This entirely depends on where you live.

    • True okay in the us it's illegal but in the UK it's legal not too sure about any other countries

  • If it's legal.
    Then it's none of my business.

    If she it's illegal.
    It's totally my business.

  • Ah jeez this is impossible. Literally.

    Look, if she's mature, not an idiot and not a child then whatever. Keep in mind most of the world draws the line at 16, not 18, and that every person is different. No laws or social stigmas get it 100% right. A person can be 35 and not be mentally or emotionally ready to get laid. Long as she's safe (mentally and health wise) and not in danger (physical or from manipulation) no harm done in my opinion.

    • I think it's wrong from a mental standpoint (for the most part), but you're right, physically speaking, there is basically no difference. Anyone who says "Yes there is" apparently hasn't seen 16/17 year olds, since, well, the 2000's.

    • Really it's all dependant on the girl in the end. She's either ready or not. An age might be a good average point but it's not a guaranteed qualifier.

  • Umm no...18 is the age of consent :/

  • It's disgusting.

  • Definitely not

    • What is the problem?

    • She's not an adult and he's 19 freakin years older

    • So you would not have sex with a 36 year old?
