Well I have read this thread with great interest and some very good points have been put foward ..
I am 42 and my husband is 62 ,that is a 20 yr differance and we are very very happy together although taking that age difference back to my younger days ie 10/30 ,12/32, 16/36 ,17/37 at what stage does it become more realistic and slightly acceptable ? well to me, if I was 17 and had met my husband then, to me i would have found it acceptable although I know for a fact my mother woud,nt have done and i know going back all those years if my husband had met me then he wouldnt have found it acceptable and wouldnt have looked twice at me. Its only that we met when i was in my 30s that age didnt seem to matter between us , but I have a son who is in his 20s and 2 at 17 18 and if i caught them anywhere near a girl under the LEGAL age of 16 I would go skitso at them and I have a daughter who is 15 and if i caught her having a sexual relationship with any lad then the same applies , I,d like to think i have a good relationship with my kids and although I cannot stop it i would like to think that i have sexually educated them enough to know the rights and wrong of it , As for the thread topic of the peadophile thing, well my opinion is that the law for sex betweenCONSENTING teenagers is 16 Anything other than that is rape no matter what sex is the instigator
