    Being especially attracted to 18 year olds as a 40 year old is weird too. The way youth is fetishized and exploited is bad.

    The physique of a 17 yo is similar but if you are attracted to that fact that she is 17, or pursuing her that’s considerably more messed up because that comes with a bunch of added power dynamics.

      As someone near 40 with a kid I can tell you the idea of having sex with a teenager is absolutely repulsive. That’s an older child in my eyes.

        Years ago knew a 30ish year old guy through FB that lived close by and had a hook on some hard to find party favors, and then a 17 year old in a group we were all in came forward saying he had been trying to get nudes from her.

        Anyways, I had mentioned the party favors to a friend with an estranged teenage daughter and he got upset that I wasn’t willing to go meet with the pedo aspirant to acquire some. Was recently musing he’s probably fine with the child sex trafficking on some level.
