A ephebophile is a older adult who are sexually attracted to 15 and 19.

It really grinds my gears that society doesn’t have a problem with a 18 year old having consensual sex with a 17-year-old. Even though the 18 year old is an adult and the 17 year old is a minor. But if 26 year old has consensual sex with a 18 year old. Ah then society has a problem. But why should that be a problem? When both actions are completely harmless as long as both people are consenting adults.

    The reason why I don’t care about power dynamic and maturity levels is because I don’t think those are vaild reason as to why ephebophilia between two consenting adults is morally wrong.

    Because those things can applies to all relationships.

    For example if I a 26 year old man want to be in a casual sexual relationship with a 46 year old woman who is more mature, smarter and makes more money than me. Then I don’t think what she is doing is morally wrong because me and her are both consenting adults.

    I believe that as long as both people who are engaging in sexual activity with eachother are both consenting adults then it is not morally wrong in my opinion even If the older adult is more mature, smarter and makes more money than the younger adult.
