Why are some people prejudiced towards men having sex with young girls? ?

Some people especially men think its disgusting for a older man to have sex with a 17, 18, 19 or 20 year old. I think they are prejudiced.
If it's legal and consentual I don't have a problem with it personally.

  • I'll get this out of the way. A healthy, physically mature 17 year old girl is an absolute plum sexually. The problem I see is station in life, although transition to adulthood begins at 18 and is well on its way at 20. I just think they should be allowed to experience their youth and its discoveries without being drawn into a world (I think) they are not quite ready for. I think an older man should not pull them through this time. Could a somewhat older guy move the ground sexually for her in a way her peers could not? Yes, I think they could.

    • Exactly, young girls go for older men because they can do things guys their age can't. They treat them differently. I don't see how it can harm them if they know what they are doing. It's just sex anyway. Not a relationship

    • And 17 year olds clearly knows what they are doing

      Notice I didn't pick a fashion model. Lets just say I was 43. I look down at her after a soft, intimate session. I could I avoid not being enthralled with her? Instant relationship.

  • I get that it happened in the old days but i never felt it was right to begin with. If they under 18, fall back. And even if theyre 18 its odd if you're old enough to be their dad. People are gonna do what they want but i just personally think age gaps over 4 years are too much

  • Because they are haters. I don't have a problem at all with two consenting adults doing what they want with each other.

    Why are some people prejudiced towards men having sex with young girls? ?
  • Most of those with the problems are just envious.

  • It's a combination of a lot of things. Some of the concern is genuine. It may not be illegal, but there are a lot of people who are rightfully concerned about abusive relationships and many abusive relationships occur because the victim is suffering from mental health issues, or they're lacking basic life experience or the ability to even understand the consequences of the things they do. I agree that there has to be a cutoff point where it's legal, but it's not black or white. There are 15 yr olds who probably CAN consent, and 20 yr olds who probably can't.

    Beyond that, it's probably just basic faulty human social psychology. Some women think it reflects on a common male preference and that they're not valuable anymore (which is bullshit), some guys probably over condemn it to mask how they feel, some people are just weirded out by it on a visceral level, etc.

  • When I was growing up, my little sister's friend and I were "in love" for lack of a better term. There was a 5 year difference between us which didn't matter so much, until I hit that age when you realize that things you are interested in, but don't understand why, start turning you on.
    That whole situation messed me up and I was petrified to date anyone younger

  • As long as the women are of legal age, I cannot judge, or say anything about them, and their companionship.
    Personally, yes, I find them attractive, and smile, but I am thinking 'she could be my daughter' so it isn't sexual attraction, for me.
    I am not interested in younger women, as I can't relate, and understand them! I prefer someone closer to my age, and we can share things from growing up, and movies, and things 'our time'!

  • Well, not everyone accepts men having sex with girls younger their age because of their old and traditional thought process. In my opinion, it's not digusting if a man has a relationship with a younger girl of 17,18 or 19. It's just a natural thing, theirs nothing wrong with it if both the man and the girl don't have a problem with it.

  • Because it's kind of obvious that one is using the other. The younger you are, the more naive you are.

    • Yeah it's perverse on the adults side, but if the girl knows it's just sex, she is not being used

    • I guess she is still being used because of the intent on the guys side, but she could easily turn him down, so if she is carrying on with him, it's mutual

  • I don't either. I have a problem with older men who pursue young women because they are too immature to attract a woman over 21. An older man with a young lover has to be careful to look out for her best interest instead of his own.

    • He should look out for best interests for him and her.

  • The bigger question is "why do you care, if you are not involved in either side?"

    People will hate on anything. You now get femcels that hate on men for daft things being too short, or not liking girls like them.

  • Regardless of which gender is older, if they are legal and it's consensual, I agree, to each their own.

  • You just made all the pedophiles super happy.

    • Nearly everyone on here agrees with me though

    • Yes! Because the majority who are answered ARE older guys.

    • And two young women

  • Even if under 18 is legal, I think that is too young. But 18 and over I see it as consenting adults.

    When I was 18/19, I had sex with some women 34-39, and had a couple of women in their 40s hit on me when I was 18, but it didn't occur to me what they were doing because I had never been hit on by anyone older than 18 at that point.

  • Because the guy got sex not by looks or youthful powers, obviously. Well, not the 17 one. Needs to be legal and all that.

    An older guy tend to be rich and treat women well. Poorer guys tend not to do that.

  • Because the power difference, anyone who has been those ages knows how inexperienced and how easily manipulated those ages can be. Also it’s just kind of gross and you know it’s not for the right reasons

    • Correct

    • That's true, but you can also argue people who are late teens know what they are doing and can make the decision to consent themselves. If the man is aggressive, then yeah it can be problematic, but we can't generalise.

    • Why as 33 year old woman do you care? That’s what I really don’t get? Unless you lied about your gender or age. Personally I’m for raising the age of consent to 21, because I don’t agree with you. Although teens think they know what they are doing, they often times lack enough life experience to truly know the impact the decision they make will have and also their emotions are not in control and brain are still growing

  • I think it is that younger women may be more immature and perhaps even naive and therefore more easily taken advantage of by predatory older men that may only want to use them for sex.

    • Sure, but they can also use the men too. Depending on their age

    • I agree, yes, they could use men as well.

  • i see mostly women having an issue with this. 18 is my minimum age and the consent age here.

  • I just wanna ad that slavery and the holocaust was both legal, that means not its the right thing to do...

    • And that has absolutely nothing to do with this topic.

  • 17 is not legal. 18 is still very young...

    • No, it's legal in many places

  • I am a man, and I don't find it disgusting for a older man to have sex with a 17, 18, 19 or 20 year old woman (or more than one). It is completely normal, it's between adults and if it's legal and consentual, I don't have a problem - on the contrary, I like it!
