Consensual ...Lawrence - I actually agree somewhat. Consensual sex with Creepasaurus Rex probably doesn't do serious permanent harm to most teenagers, and there's no question that THE PEDO MENACE AROUND EVERY CORNER is overplayed in media and law enforcement.<BR/><BR/>However... it's just such an egregious dereliction of adult responsibility. The adult knows (or should know) that this is only going to end in tears for the kid, the kid <I>doesn't</I> know, and the adult goes ahead anyway.<BR/><BR/>Any lines I draw are going to be subjective and depend on the individuals, but I'd say that under 17 with over 20 is creepy, and under 14 with over 20 is <BR/>edging pretty close to downright rape.<BR/><BR/>I don't think gender matters that much; teenage boys are nearly as good as girls at emotionally overcommitting.<BR/><BR/>I think some of the underage sexuality problem comes from the conflict between a 12-year-old's self-image of "I think I'm mature for my age, I feel sexual, damn right I'm juicy!" and adults' image of the same person as a child. The only difference in recent years is that there have been more skeevy adults willing to market to the 12-year-old's imagined maturity.Cliff Pervocracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080142422250604406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-76691506802921436532009-01-19T18:21:00.000-05:002009-01-19T18:21:00.000-05:00Oh Boy. I may be lambasted for saying this, but I...Oh Boy. I may be lambasted for saying this, but I have mixed feelings on this one.<BR/><BR/>(let me preface the rest of this by saying I have zero interest in fooling around in any way with anyone underage. First of all, I'm in a happy monogamous relationship; second of all, even college senors look too young to me now. Ah, is this middle age?)<BR/><BR/>I guess the (non-)conclusion I've reached on the topic is that it's not necessarily as bad as it's made out to be; and it's probably not a good thing.<BR/><BR/>When I was a teenage lad, I would have been psyched if some reasonably hot (i.e. any) 20- or 30-something female wanted to bang me. Would it have ended in tears? Almost certainly. Would I have been permanently psychically scarred? I kind of doubt it. <BR/><BR/>The grammatically-challenged dude who wanted to cyber with the 13 year old you... definitely a creep. Quadruply so if you had said you were 11. But what if you had said you were 16? What if HE had been a SHE? Probably still a loser, but just as creepy? Is it any less creepy for a 43 year old to by hitting on an 18 year old? I dunno. <BR/><BR/>The reality may be fuzzy, and the line may seem arbitrary, but hey, you have to draw a line SOMEWHERE. <BR/><BR/>What really does strike me as creepy is the way our society demonizes/fetishizes underage sex... Like 'Barely Legal' magazine, which I think you have nicely scewered elsewhere in this blog. Like all those 14 year old looking (or are they actually 14??) models in the fashion magazines, posing all sexily and unattainably. Like all the freaking 12 year old girls running around with 'JUICY' printed across their ass. Argh.<BR/><BR/>Meh. It's all kind of depressing when you think about it.
