my boyfriend is 20 and i'm 15. we love each other very much, although some people may not understand it because of the 5 yr age difference. until people get to know me & him they dnt understand. they feel as though i'm his puppet, & i do anything he says. i've been dating older guys since i was in the 8th grade. he was in the 11th. i didnt love him even though i lost my virginity to him. its no hard feelings toward him i just dont like the type of person he is. my boyfriend now is very caring and sweet. i'm very mature for my age in people dont understand that i'm in love with him, & he's in love with me. i'd rather be with someone much older than me, than someone who's immature & going to lie, cheat, & put me through heartache. ENOUGH SAID!

And anyways, Justin beiber isn't cool, he's actually really lame, I'm 16 and I'm in love with a 20 yr old boy and I'm interested in work, school, and art, does it really matter what people are interested in?? I thought this topic was about love....

Is statutory rape patronizing to women and discriminating to men?

So, I'm definitely doing as much research as I possibly can because this guy & I want to be together but we're scared that he's going to get into trouble. We live in New Jersey, and he's 26 and I'm 16. Will he get into trouble if we're just dating and not having sex?

No, im pretty sure in most states as long as the other person is no older than 3-4 years, you won't get in trouble.

is it against the law in michigan if im 16 having sex with a soon to be 21 year old

As long as he is not an authority figure such as a teacher, church leader, civic leader, etc, then there is no law preventing you from having sex with him. In fact, at 16, you could have sex with a 60 year old, and it's legal. If you were 15 and he was 20, then he would be guilty of criminal action.

My comment gonna offend most of you "moralists" here. However, I'll say it anyway. I don't know for girls, but I don't think that a teenage boy having sex with an older women is actually traumatic. First, I lost my virginity at 13 to a girl that was 17, and our liaison lasted for over 4 months until she went away to College. At 16 old, I carry a sexual relation with a 27 year old woman. Neither relation left me scared psychologically. Both women are very successful now. The one that was 17 is an anesthesiologist, and the other is currently married and a hedge fun manager. Sometime, I run into them at social events, and they're cool with me. They're not creepy and are normal as normal anyone can be. The fact is, it doesn't matter the age difference, when people are in close quarter together, sexual attractions can develop.

Neither of the situations violated the law, most likely. The first one, you were not UNDER 13, and she was within 5 years (common in most states). The second, you were 16, age of consent, so it's legal for you to have sex with a woman of ANY age, as long as she is not an authority figure.

The problem as I see it is not so much whether the act is "traumatic" as it is simply against the law, for a child to have sex with an adult. If you had been with the 27yo when you were 13, then the woman would have been a child molester. Whether you liked it or not doesn't matter.

Yes, at 15, she is not of Legal Consenting age. Therefore, it is considered Statutory Rape.

I really dont know, but i'm 15 also, 16 next month, and i recently had sex with my 19 year old boyfriend.
I think it depends on what state you live in.
In some, it lets you have sex with someone 3-4 years older as long as you're 14-16 years old and the man is not older than 20-21.

me an my boyfriend have been togehter for 12 months now he is 44 an i am 17...we love eachother very much an live in north carolina...is he wrong for being with me just because of my age????? i dont think so but what do you think??

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 10/22/2011 - 09:48.

i think this is perfectly okay. it's obvious you're attracted to men way older, but that's fine. i myself am 17 and is trying to get the attention of a man who looks 35-45, i know he likes me but i don't know how to bring it on him that i want a relationship. anyway, what you're doing is perfectly fine, if that's what you like, that's what you like, no one should have anything to say because the only people that know how you guys feel is you 2. and how convenient, i live in north california as well, if you could see my email please email me. :)

Im afraid that IS illegal. As long as you two dont have sex, he cant get in trouble.
But, if the consent age there is 17 and not 18, you'll both be fine.

Sex should have no age of consent and people need desperately too get the ho scow out of our lives with laws. No law concerning sex should be allowed too continue. We have women that bury their kids in the back yard and say three black guys took them, wall them up or put them in basements because they look like their fathers, get their other siblings too have sex with them and then have them incarcerated because they don't want to pay to feed them, murder and rape and point fingers at others and us what they do to harm others. Any debate on the subject is worthless and no age should be set for any sex at all. If we put everyone in jail for having sex we would have no money left for anything. Sex is the not an issue for anyone when we have people with both sexes sporting both parts. We have some really broken minds and judgmental laws that do nothing for anyone except the people that get rich from these laws. Doctors want only professionals too touch children at $90.00 an office visit, Lawyers get to chase skirts instead of ambulances and the clergy get their choice of the new parishioner. These laws boil down to the same grotesque social design that was used by the third rite that devastated Europe. It is all fake and worthless at the core, to design a social structure on a system that allows such activity, which is what this Which Hunt has shown. Our government can not sustain the cost and the truth be told was a plan used to undermine the structure of the US by laws coming from the legatus.

Sex should have no age, thats insane. your saying 12 year old girls, that havent even had there periodes yet and are having sex with 40 year old men, old enough to be there father is okay.... thats messed dude, and so age does matter.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 01/22/2011 - 09:45.

I completely agree. I think if two people love eachother, and the older is not a threat to the younger, it should be okay. They shoulnd't base maturity level on physical age.
A 40 year old can be 10 times less mature than a 15 year old, but they dont care. They judge based on what THEY think is right and reasonable, not what IS right and reasonable.
