Shes 18 i swear [some replies could possibly be offensive to sensitive readers]

So here's a question

A 16 year old guy is in a relationship with a 15 year old girl   or indeed visa versa

They end up having awesome sessions in every room possible,
Anyone see a problem here ?

If so Where ?

[InCreator]

No problem here really.

16 year old guy is a bit behind in mental development so he might be actually even younger than the girl, in both mental and physical sense.
So probably both don't quite know what they're doing.

Problems occur when guy (or girl) is far more developed, an adult. In which case, (s)he uses it as an advantage over other.
Our "legal" age is 14 (unless it's been changed in last year or so) and of course, things happen ever earlier sometimes.

But legal side and strange men with candy is one thing. Kids with kids is simply sad, IMO. And for 26-year old as I am, it's almost impossible (or atleast, VERY hard) to find a girl in appropriate age without strange burden of some kind. Like 3-10 years of broken (serious!) relationship, jealous ex(es!) calling at nights... Or a kid. If things like this bother, you're pretty much done for. Like me.

Which sucks unbelievably much.
I'd rather live someplace else, pay some camels and get a ninja. Atleast she's pure.

I know a couple of friends who broke up for a while because the other one was 17 and the other 15. Then when the older turned 18, it became illegal. To me that decision show quite well that they were both pretty immature, having dated for almost a year already. They never got back together anyway.

Does that mean a centenarian could date a 57 year old? 43 year age difference :o

I know were all thinking Hugh Hefner. Works for him

There's a bit of weird out factor when two people of widely disparate ages hook up, and I get that there is always a chance that the necessary differences in amount of experience and societal role expectations could cause all sorts of problems.  But I say leave that to the couples to evaluate and deal with.

The only thing that really bothers me about these sorts of relationships is the possibility that it will lead to an imbalance of power.

But then, so can bread-winner/homemaker relationships, relationships between strong willed and submissive personality types, different levels of education, etc. etc.  Or so I would tend to think.  Honestly, I tend to suspect that every relationship involves some sort of power imbalance, so we need to be careful when it comes to regulating that sort of thing.

I shouldn't have read this.
It reminds me too much of myself finding something to be bothered by on every single one.

Well here's one for ya:

Would you feel uneasy if you were playing an adventure game where you play a 15 year old boy, and your quest was effectively to lose your virginity, so the whole game you would find yourself pursuing a 15 year old girl? (No sex scenes of any kind, just the pursuit)

[NsMn]

School Uniform Sammy?

School Uniform Sammy?

Hrm, I've never heard of it. Do you have a link?

I think my question still stands though.

[Questionable]

I think my question still stands though.

Haven't most males (at some point) been a 15 year old boy trying to make it with a 15 year old girl? I would assume that the game is legitimately entertaining and the content is clearly "G Rated." If so, it would be like watching a Disney Channel style show (Hannah Montana, Zoey 101, Degrassi) about a teenager trying to get to get together with a girl in his class. Sex is almost always implied and never explicit but there is a portrayed desire to be together. The fact that I am now older than 15 and know the details of what was driving me doesn't change the fact that I was pursuing women.

Ultimately I think that if the game was truly innocent than I wouldn't have any issues playing the game. Keep in mind, however, that many objects that are inherently innocent are twisted in the minds of certain people and they become more than what they are. I'm looking at YOU Dan Brown...

[Charity]

Yeah, it really depends on how the game is done, but a game meeting that description could really fall anywhere from perfectly innocent to slightly uncomfortable.  Without actually including sex or nudity, it would probably have to try pretty hard before it became anything like straight up disturbing, but it could certainly be done.

But everyone knows that fifteen year olds think about sex and have sex and etc etc.  And while they may seem a little young, and are below the age of consent in most places, the idea of a fifteen year old seeking out sex with a peer is hardly some huge taboo secret.

[DutchMarco]

Maybe I over reacted in my earlier comment. Maybe not. Some people would find this funny while others would be offended. I just happen to fall under the offended category. Ten years ago I may have not cared or had a different outlook. But I have a precious nephew and niece now. And even my cousin whom I held when she was baby is having her very own child so my perspective on things have changed. I just wondered how I would feel if that happened to be a picture of my own flesh and blood portrayed in such a way. Anyway, apologies if my comment was a bit much.

No need to apologize, I agree with you whole heartedly. If it were up to me pedophiles would be drawn and quartered, but I would settle for having them imprisoned for life.

And with the worda "convicted pedophile tattooed on their foreheads, so that their fellow inmates will recognize them.

BTW if anyone is against life sentencing for pedophiles, I'd like to propose an alternative: using 2 bricks to..., well you get the idea. (right? or must I make an animated drawing for ya?) ]oo[

What's still sick is that someone got this girl to pose in this position and then took a photogrraph of it...

[Mr Flibble]

If this is how AGS would treat paedophiles, I'd hate to see how they'd treat lynch mobs.

[Tuomas]

So what would you do to him if he was a she?

[Anian]

While I agree the pic is unnecessarily posed and with that writing next to it, it is unreasonable to expect that nobody in marketing department (or whatever) didn't think this is at least odd. Might be like one those stupid photshopped images that get into magazines, cereal boxes etc.

Anyway...this picture and reaction does offer a certain social backfeed. How tainted are we as a civilization/societies that we (let's say "normal" people) think (or think we think) like pedophiles. Reaction like "oh, a pedophile would like this" certainly is curious.


Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to the mall to find chicks that'd be a perfect target for a serial killer...don't judge me!

Well it is still interesting to see how many people are automatically linking the term "pedophile" (or as it is properly spelled, as you have shown, "paedophile") with "convicted sexual offender". Although paedophilia can lead to sexual assault, it's not an inevitability. If someone considered themselves a necrophiliac that wouldn't immediately make them a convicted murderer.

Now I have encountered cases in my interwebbery where children have been abused and assaulted..and the people responsible for doing, supporting, and perpetuating these types of activities certainly deserve to be severely punished. But as has been said, the attraction to young girls does not necessarily place the person in question into any of these fields.

Just some food for thought people..

Erm..Questionable..I find your username to be rather fitting after this post..because I am very much questioning what you were drinking/smoking/shooting up prior to posting this.

A necrophiliac would never need to be a convicted murderer, it's enough if they use a corpse to have sex with it. I don't know how common it is that necrophiliacs first murder their victims, but it's not necessary.

Also, as much as I endorse the sentiment that nobody should be blamed for their inner desires and sexual tendencies, I think we're splitting hairs here - we wouldn't call anyone a paedophile unless they have in some way taken advantage of a child (or attempted to). I guess a psychologist or a priest or a close friend could possibly know if someone nurtures paedophiliac fantasies, but he'd never be labelled paedophile until there is an act.

[Dataflashsabot]

he'd never be labelled paedophile until there is an act.

Yes he would be. Whether it's correct or not, he would be.

[Atelier]

He wouldn't be labelled a paedophile because nobody would know he (or she) was a paedophile until an act actually happened. But they're still a paedophile regardless whether anybody else knows.

[ShadeJackrabbit]

If they have a therapist/psychiatrist/psychologist and it comes up, that person would know. They don't even need to have done anything to have one.

Just putting that out there.
