  • In a country & culture where people live on their own & have 100% adult responsibilities at that age it’s not wrong or illegal.


    In a culture where people are babied till they are damn near 35 it’s like raping a handcuffed mentally disabled person in a mental hospital. Wrong & illegal

  • Nah fuck that. It's fucked up like that law they passed over in california where a pedo can get away from getting on the sex offender list of they fuck a minor 10 years younger than them so if they're 25 they can get away having sex with a 15 year old. They still a kid

  • At that young of an age, you're not emotionally mature enough for sex, and especially with someone 2 times ur age. I think its inappropriate and wrong. Not a pedophile but someone is taking advantage of a kid

  • It 'feels' wrong, but logically there's nothing pathological about it, nor should there be legal issues if age of consent is 17 or lower. Rationally, it's in the grey area.

  • It's illegal and the older person can end up in jail. There is no gray area. It is not okay. And anybody caught doing so should go to jail and the younger who consented reprimended.

    • You obviously can't read

    • Still illegal and it's still wrong. This system will make it legal, but it's still illegal. I read very well.

    • If it's legal, it cannot be illegal. What are you talking about?

  • WRONG from side of 35 y. o. old! Nothing wrong (only thoughtless in most cases) from side of 17 y. o.

  • yes if it's legal in your state why not?

  • Hell yes it's wrong, what is a 17 year old doing with 35 and vice versa? ugh...

  • I think its a Grey area personally I think the two people should be married preferably before they engage in sex but I think they younger person should be informed about some of the dangers of getting married early in life on top of the dangers of having sex early since I had a cousin who got married very early when he was still a teenager but ultimately it is their decision.

  • fine if its legal and consentual

  • Yeah even tho legal here i kinda see it wrong. I think it should be romeo Juliet law so that couldn't happen until 18.

  • It is OK.

  • I honestly don’t think so the age gap is far to wide, The 35 year old could easily manipulate the 17 year old. What will those two have in common any way?

  • Yes it’s ok , even though the age gap is wide it only looks bad to the outsiders looking in , but if 17 is of legal age then they have a right to make their own decision , When a guy and a girl meet and they are both attracted to each other and they have great chemistry and connection that’s all that matters , Age really has nothing to do with who you like and dislike , When we meet someone that catches are eyes and we find them beautiful and we strike up a conversation and you both hit it off with each other then later on during the conversation. the question of age comes up and you both find out that you have an age gap , Are you suddenly going to hate that person because of age? Now if they were not of legal age then yes you should be smart enough to not
    Go any further with them but if they are of legal age is their age really going to stop you from liking them? I have met younger girls that were way more mature then girls my age , Why age doesn’t really effect me , All that really matters is chemistry and connection , I have dated girls a wide gap younger then me and wide gap older then me cuz we had great chemistry with each other , the topic of age wasn’t the first thing that came out of our mouths lol I don’t walk up to a girl and say How old are You lol Sounds pretty silly to me , Legal age of consent where I am at is 17 as well , I don’t really think a 17 year old would be interested in me to be honest but if it ever happened and we had Great chemistry and connection her age isn’t Going to stop me from liking her , I might be shocked that she is only 17 but I am not going to hate her , I wouldn’t hate a 16 year old either I would just be smart enough not to go any further with her , Look at all these famous older rockstars falling In love with 14 and 15 year olds , it’s crazy but funny how the parents don’t really care , My daughter is dating Steven Tyler of Aerosmith she is only 14 but who cares she is with Steven Tyler , So why is that ok? Cuz Age really doesn’t matter

  • I know two couples who are 20 years age gap, one with the guy older, one with the girl older. They've both been married over 20 years having met in both cases where the younger one was 19.

    17 to 35 is a smaller age gap but the emotional maturity difference between 17 and 19 is huge.

    In most countries consent is legal by 17, but what's right and what's legal ain't always the same

  • If it’s legal and consentual I don’t see a problem.

  • Because you said it’s legal, should be ok assuming the older adult is responsible and not looking to take advantage. Unfortunately in that situation the older adult can manipulate the younger one so it’s not often recommended.

  • Yeah that's fine.

  • That area between say 16 and 21 is really subjective. Some people are very mature and could probably handle it, on the other hand I know some 30 year olds who probably shouldn't be having sex.

  • Of course it's wrong. It's called PEDOPHILIA.

  • The age gap is way too big.. NO WAY

  • If you're a parent and you care about your 17 yo. kid it's surely wrong. However I think we discussed this topic back and forth long enough.

  • 17 is almost adults and in England and UK like 16 is age of consent age you can have sex most people lose their virginity before thst

  • It's wrong.
