I don't mean to be a prude, but why are we even hashing out this topic....at least in the USA, sex with a minor is ILLEGAL. Pure and simple. Even if it's consentual, it's still illegal. That's just the way the law is. You can't do it, you might get away with it, but let one of the parties get pissed off and go to the police, and you are in for a lot of problems down the road, because the older party is then labeled as a sex offender. It's not just men, it's women, and it's not just older people, it can be a 17 year old girl making advances on a 13 year old boy. Let's take the high road and let this topic die a quick death.
