As long as both consenting, what difference does age make??

Do you know any 18 year olds? Its a massive power imbalance.

herownworstenemy · 21/10/2025 14:57

Ick ick ick 🤢. What do you think OP? OK or beyond weird?

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 21/10/2025 14:57

Grim. Same as it would be if it were the other way round (except that probably wouldn't even be a question).

TwistedWonder · 21/10/2025 14:58

Grim as fuck regardless of the sexes.

Wish I had a50 year old woman to show me the ropes when I was 18.

I'm sore he will be fine, do him quick smart!

Sometimes I wish there was a throw up reaction on MN.

Urgh, is this real or hypothetical?

ByQuaintAzureWasp · 21/10/2025 15:02

Perverse imo

So you think 12 year olds should be having sex, as long as it's consensual??

Do you want me to lie in order to suit your narrative?

I guarantee as the horny little toad i was at 18, I would have loved it. Sorry that doesn't fit with what people want to hear.

Seriously concerning posts on this thread from both @YesImaman1100 and @WFHforevermore.

18 year old may legally be an adult, but to me it's a teenager/someones child/a boy, definitely not a man.

Foundress · 21/10/2025 15:07

Who was it who said ‘ if you are old enough to have given birth to that person don’t have sex with that person’. Also applies to the age at fathering a person in my book. Anyway I agree with them.

TheCrenchinglyMcQuaffenBrothers · 21/10/2025 15:07

Groomer, same as the other way round.

But why not tell us what you think OP? 🙄

shellyleppard · 21/10/2025 15:08

The woman is a cradle snatcher

That doesn’t make it ok though.

Cherryicecreamx · 21/10/2025 15:10

Ew. 18 is barely an adult. Just scraping the legal grounds. So predatory.

PresidentMacron · 21/10/2025 15:13

Sacré bleu! Coup de foudre? 😳

Meadowfinch · 21/10/2025 15:13

God, no. Creepy & horrible. I have a 17yo ds.

Blondiney · 21/10/2025 15:13

Fucking revolting

I agree, they're a teenager still figuring everything out. I would feel almost protective, wanting to help them out over taking advantage of them (because that's exactly how I see it).

MaidOfSteel · 21/10/2025 15:14

God no, what the heck would a mature woman want with a just turned adult?! Revolting.

IcedPurple · 21/10/2025 15:14

It's grim.

And I'd say exactly the same if the genders were reversed. Even more so, in fact.

LeanToWhatToDo · 21/10/2025 15:17

Sadly 18 yo boys are simply not that attractive to women, generally.

Very different from the level of attraction so many men have for young girls, which is odd really. I guess women want more than just sex? The sex would be like a duracell bunny anyway I suspect, from memory!
*edit to add, from memory of when I was around 18 and sleeping with those aged boys, not last week or something!
