Ive seen this guy, who is only 17, im 26, thats 9 years in the difference, its not like im 40 tho, but his parents found out, went nuts, told him i was a pedo lol, we are only friends now but i would hope something can happen in the future. If anything does happen in the future he wont be too young i suppose anymore but still the 9 year gap, what do you think?
I think you're lucky you didn't get 7 to 15 years hard time in prison plus lifetime registration as a sexual predator. OH, and your picture, name and address plus all kinds of other information about you on an internet page of Sexual Offenders. I don't care how mature he is the law can nail your ass big time for that kinda stunt. Maybe unfair but too bad, it's the reality you got to deal with.
lol, ok maybe i should of mentioned that im in ireland, and 17 is very legal.... where are you from and whats the age limit there?,... and well i guess you would not approve anyway...
I think that if it's legal, and you feel that it's okay, and he was willing, than it all depends on what you feel is morally correct. If you didn't see a problem with it, then there isn't a problem. I was raised in a country where that is illegal, so to me it's wrong, simply because my whole life I was told it was wrong, so that's what I was made to believe. It's really up to you whether you believe it's wrong or right. I wouldn't approve of it personally, however.
If it's legal and you are both willing adults then what the hell, go for it. His parents need to respect his sexuality. I've been with a 19 y o when I was 55. He liked me and I liked him and it was great sex. Simon
I don't think its a huge deal but I'm starting to think ol' hipforums is conditioning me to think really abnormal things are quite normal indeed...I'm so used to seeing threads where 40 year old men are asking if its okay to have sex with someone thats 14....so your age difference doesnt seem so bad, relatively. The biggest problem I can see with it is he's probably still in high school (? don't know how grade levels work in Ireland) and living with his parents and therefore on a completely different level than you. If he were just a year older, out of school and supporting himself I don't really think there would be anything wrong with it at all, 9 years isn't a huge age difference, but just the simple fact that his parents are still calling the shots indicates that maybe its not the best idea to get involved with him right now.
What the hell its legal so i don't see the problem, if your both happy together thats all that matters.
it is illegal now and all but i think it is stupid lol. a lot of laws are stupid. what is the real difference between an 18 year old dating a 27 year old 19 28 and so on? more money for the coperoonis.
if you like him and he likes you it doesn't matter. illegality doesn't affect that. and about whether he's too young for you, my answer is this----societal moral perspective shouldn't really affect what you decide to do in life. unless you're the kind of person who values bunch of strangers' opinion more than your own. think about that.
The viability of your relationship largely depends on your synergies. Some guys are "wired" for intergenerational dating. The others are not. Plainly, some dudes are more prone to be the "daddies" and the other dudes are more prone to being "hunters" than some other guys. You need to know thyself and your bf, too KD
Ehhh, when I was 15/16 I was chasing guys anywhere up to 4 times my age, didnt really get it at the time, but none of them were actually gay Got past 25 though and started to get it the other way around, was a little weird, cos was into MEN, always was. So getting to that age and then having some girly looking teens coming at you that are only a couple measures away from an actual girl, didnt seem all that gay to me. I think whats actually pissing off the parents the most is something they are not going to say out loud, and thus take you a little while longer to work out. Tell the tale of a 26 yr old with a 17 yr old, and everyones going to jump to assuming the 17 yr old is the victim and cant be the aggressor, you are the perv even though its very likely that 17yr old is a lot hornier than you are Translate to hetero, if it was a 26 yr old guy going out with a 17yr old girl, and the 17yr old was very innocent, then everyone would jump to you're taking advantage of her, but if that 17 yr old was sassy then it makes sense to everyone, guys her age are all dickheads so why not, especially if the 26 yr old has a bit of money to him But in the end the most important question is, why are you with a 17yr old? why arent you chasing after the bigger musclier guys? Do what you want, but know with a lot of gay guys its going to through up a red flag
Why am i with (or wanting to be with) the 17 year old? im in love, he is an angel, very beautiful, very smart, very kind heart down to earth, very very caring for everyone kind of guy. But then again if your in love everything about the guy is perfect aint it? I would not actually care what anybody thought if they founbd out i was with someone so young in compared to myself. I think the main reason his parents went nuts is because they are not altogether used to his sexuality or understand homosexuality either, Ireland still has a way to go compared to allot of places. So when the first guy they find out he has been seeing is a 26 year old... *%££&"£&£$"£!, if only they knew he was with guys in their 30s maybe 40s before lol... I asked the question here to get opinions and thanks for them but i know what im doing is fine, because it feels right.
