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.

    So if a 45 year old man has sex with a 25 year old woman you consider that to be immoral even though the are both consenting adults?

    Because I don’t care about power dynamics or maturity levels. In my opinion as long as both people are consenting adults which 18 year olds are in Canada and in most parts of the world then I do not think it’s morally wrong for me to be in casual sexual relationship with a 18 year old woman because me and her are both consenting adults. So what we are doing is completely harmless.

    I could legally have sex with a 16-year-old woman if I want to because the age of consent is 16 in canada. But I still choose not to do that because I believe it’s morally wrong for adults to have sex with minors.

      You do understand that what you’re saying here is that you choose to completely disregard whether something has been proven to harm others so long as it’s legal or you subjectively do not object to it?

      You’ll make a great abuser, please never go into a relationship.

        I said ephebophilia between two consenting adults is not morally wrong you idiot.

        If a 26 year old man is only sexually attracted to 18 and 19 year old women then by definition they’re an ephebophile you idiot.

          Ephebophiles are not immoral

          ephebophelia cannot exist between adults because
