    Yes and that’s completely fair. It’s about the imbalance of power. An 18 y.o. and one day, is exactly the same as they were two days prior.

    But the cutoff has to be somewhere, and the guy I was replying to was talking about proper adults and 16 y.o.

    That’s a highschool sophomore. And I think we’d all agree a sophomore dating a college student would be pretty imbalanced.

      I was a college student at 17, but I think you had a larger age difference in mind. I do think we can all agree there should be laws against adults sexually exploiting teenagers.
