A ephebophile is a older adult who are sexually attracted to 15 and 19.

It really grinds my gears that society doesn’t have a problem with a 18 year old having consensual sex with a 17-year-old. Even though the 18 year old is an adult and the 17 year old is a minor. But if 26 year old has consensual sex with a 18 year old. Ah then society has a problem. But why should that be a problem? When both actions are completely harmless as long as both people are consenting adults.

    But 18 and 19 year olds are not kids you idiot they are both legally considered an adult in most parts of the world

    But you’re still ignoring the huge difference in power dynamic. Unless you want that, in which case I can’t see how you could call that moral.

    Obviously I would never have sex with 16 and 17 year old woman because they both considered minors which makes it morally wrong for me to have sex with them because I’m an adult.

    Since you still struggle with the morality of the sexual power dynamics of having sexual relationships with those too young to understand the concept, it’s clear that it’s not any sense of morality stopping you— it’s the legality.

    I have no doubt you’d fuck kids if you didn’t fear the legal consequences.

    So the question remains: why do you wanna fuck kids so bad, and why do you think fucking kids is moral?

      In canada a 16 year old can legally consent to sex with whoever they want as long as the person that they are having sex with is not an authority figure to them.

      But I still think it’s morally wrong for me to have sex with 17 year old woman because they’re a minor and I’m an adult and I believe any adult that has sex with minors is immoral.

        After everything you’ve said, I don’t believe that you wouldn’t fuck a kid, and that it’s only fear of legal consequences that stops you.

        Kiddie fucker.
