Hi. Long time reader, first time poster. I found this in a fitness forum. A guy, 22, wants to have sex with a girl who's 16. I'm the dad of a 1 year old daughter. I am worried about her enough as it is, but I cant think of how much I'd worry about this if this was my daughter. I'm angry about this guy doing this, am I right to be angry? What would you do if your daughter was in this situation? (to make things equal, you can read the 22 year old guys side on his blog, http://www.becomingapua.com/2007/09/06/having-sex-with-a-16-year-old/)
i'd already been in a highly sexual monogamous relationship for two years by 16. i think it depends on the guy and the girl.
I basically agree with mamaKCita, but I fully admit that I would have a problem with it being my 16 y/o daughter. It's a tough call, but in reality I can't say I would be that great with it and would probably ask the 22 y/o what his problem was finding girls his own age. Of course this is coming from me who was doing a 17 y/o when I was 22. We let our 15 y/o go out with a 19 y/o figuring prohibition generally doesn't work and if they wanted to see each other they would on the sly. I guess it really does come down to the individuals.
I want sex with 16 year old girls. And 30 year olds. As long as they are hot and willing. So I do not see anything wrong. Actually, I do see something wrong. Our hypocritical society when it comes to anything that has to do with sex.
all you can do is teach your children how to make mature decisions and how to stay safe and protected. nothing in life is perfect, there is no end of risk. there were WAY WORSE things that happened to me than having sex. in fact, it was the single solitary highlight of my youth. it was in a loving, youthful relationship, but i have no regrets or feelings of ugliness or tainted youth.
My best friend is 19 and has been happily dating a 31 year old for a couple of years now... I'm 17, I'm with a 26 year old guy, and my parents both know and approve. Everything is alright by everyone. My parents also started their relationship when my mom was 17, my dad was 29. I agree with KC, though I guess I'm biased, and somewhat naive in the eyes of older folks. It really does depend on the people, in my opinion. But, oh well. I said what I wanted to say.
god how annoying would it be to be the 31 with the 19 year old motherfuck that, irritating I see nothing wrong morally though
it depends on the girl, it depends on the man. dave's great grandmother married when she was 13 to a man in his thirties. okay, so that was 77 years ago, what's the difference? girls physical maturity show up whenever it shows up. there's no shame in that. there's no shame in wanting and pursuing, so long as you do it responsibly. some girls can, like i did, some girls can't, like my sister did. but ultimately my little sister is JUST FINE.
Dude would be dodgin bullet's if it was my daughter! no way in hell a 22 yr. old got's any business having sex with a 16 yr. old! i got a 7 yr. old and best belive any grown ass man try's to get with her at 16 i'd plant that retard in the ground!
Glad people got the sense to start viewing people not even all the way through through puberty yet as children then Young girls must have gone through hell in those days
she had a happy marriage. it was hard times, but they were happy. she outlived him by about 50 years, though.
i think the only difference between now and then is that we treat our teenagers like useless objects, not children, not adults. they have no real responsibility, no real contribution. we retard their emotional development. i was a way more mature teenager than most of my friends and family because i was already raising two siblings and had a HUGE role to play in the welfare of my family. i didn't have anyone coddling me or telling me i had a right to just be a kid and that being a shitty teenager was expected. i wasn't condescended to, i wasn't wasn't helped much, i wasn't spoiled or belittled. i think the biggest problem with teenagers is this whole new, completely unnatural status we've given them.
I still don't think they should be torn away from their parents at 13 and essentially sold to an older guy who will fuck them and make them take care of his house
she courted him. yeah, it's not going to work now, we've changed too much, probably to protect the older women like me who are still looking to marry and / or continue to compete in the sexual market. she was old enough. she was mature enough, and she was happy for it. they were a team.
