Does age really matter in relationships?

I bet the 10 year old wouldn't know what he was doing. =/

 

Well, I guess it matter a bit. I mean if you have like 50 years age different. Like a 10 year old going out with a 60 year old....

 

I think it depends on the situation. A couple years isn't really that bad, but like 10 years maybe. But I am thinking in teenage terms. With grown adults I don't think it matters as much.

 

right

true love conquers all!

what if he got caught sort of looking a porn and he knows what a man and a woman does when they re really horny Lol

 

true no other answer can b better then that one :)

 

what about a 8 and 100 yr old lol so much my sides hurt!

 

The child may not even know what it meant.

 

just making up stuff lol

im got caught masterbating

 

~covers ears~
i want to sleep tonight

 

I doubt it would be physically possible for a 10 year old to do it, since boys don't start puberty until 13. It's the hormones gained in puberty that allow us to get horny, I think. Not sure though.

 

kay 10+99 *whisping quietly*

 

~runs to a corner and sits then rocks back and forth~
thats imposible thats imposible thats imposible

 

Yuppp puberty starts later for guys.
Seriously the boy would still be ...a boy. Unlike some teenagers that think they are soooo manly they have to DO everyone they know >| xD

 

Yeah, and i think the boy would be tramuatized at a point after it..

 

How did this thread turn from ages in relationships to sex? Seriously, guys.

 

Well, it's a problem that arises sometimes when you're of legal age, but have a boyfriend/girlfriend who is underage.

 

But it's not the only component of a relationship, a possibly more pressing one being the views on the couple socially.

 

That's true, but it's what most people focus on when they think about it. I know that everytime I told a friend about my relationship with my gf, who is underage, that's one of the first things they ask, along with "Isn't that illegal?" To which I reply "Not if we don't have sex."

 

well that is true but both r importent issues

 

I think that once people are of the age where school is out of the way, dating or getting with someone who is younger or older is irrelevant. I.e. If someone is 20 and someone is 30 or 40, that's up to those people as they are both adults and have lived life and aren't considered children. Both people in the relationship are going to know reality more and have worked and know about paying bills, being adults etc. So, I've never had a problem with people who actually are adults being together regardless of age whether the male or female is older. When people are adults, they can look for people like them and sometimes age is that only barrier, which it's inconsequential. If people are happy, I'm all for it.

Where I do draw the line though is when say when someone is a minor and he/she is getting with someone twice his/her age. These kids, whether people like it or not, are still kids who do not know what life is like outside of school and living under their parents. They have not had time to grow up and go on dates and live to experience the things that makes someone an adult. The people older also often are going after teens because they can't seem to find anyone in their age bracket or they have a thing for kids. They often end up wooing the kid into a sense that they will take care of her or him and well, it becomes a relationship where the older person is not only the significant other, but in ways also a parent. I think in seriousness, these kinds of relationships rob the teenager of living life and making mistakes that they won't regret for life later. If the teenager gets with the person and is married and has kids... well he or she is stuck in a situation and they become very co-dependent while the older person has control. These teens that later become adults are not given the chance to live on their own and experience life so many feel they have accomplished nothing.

So, I'm fine with adults of any age getting together because they can enjoy one another and have grown up to do so. Adults hitting on minors though, I would have to say I disagree with it and that it's just not the right thing to do. They can find someone who is an adult and let the kids be so they don't rob them of experience and make them co-dependent and miserable later.
