OK I am going to post a poll for the Men here, based on the yoga pants thread.

Going into this, being completely understanding of the fact that levels of maturity change greatly within a matter of only a few years, I'd like to ask this.

If a girl is 15 or 16 years old, would you be OK with dating her, knowing she was only 15 or 16, if you were in your early 20s?

Would that be OK with you?

I thought that most men would not be interested, remembering the old "15 will get you 20" saying.

But apparently I am wrong, according to one poster here, and most young men would be OK dating a 16 year old.

I'm eighteen and I'd date a 15/16 year old, but I won't vote in the poll.

It's anonymous. Why would you not? And thanks, but I'm looking more for 20+ men. You are close enough to their age that it's more acceptable.

I appreciate your input, though.

No I would not because we probably wouldn't have the same interests much less be on the same maturity level.
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

A paraphilia thread eh? :popcorn2:

As a twenty something, of course I'd find a fully developed 16 year old, the kind that look to be in their 20's, attractive. But I would not sleep with them if I knew their age.

Almost happened to me once, hot girl at a college party talked to me for a few hours and was going to come back with us to our suite when her older sister informed me she was in High School. That ended that...
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

My vote was no. However, it is a complicated question in terms of age difference. My wife, when I first met her, looked 15. Actually 19. I looked mid 30s, actually 28. She also had no "past" of any kind. I faced the contradiction of desire versus it would be totally wrong sense. Took about a year for me to get past that, the only woman I dare not touch because it would be wrong to my mind - and I had very little ethics of any kind.

The answer is simple. "It's wrong." People desire all sorts of things. But wrong is wrong.

Yup, see I understand that lots of girls look older than they actually are. My girls have looked older ever since they hit puberty, and my 16 year old could easily pass for 18 or 19. I was just informed, though, that most men would be OK dating a 16 year old (even if they KNEW they were 16) if they were in their early 20s, and that I should be scared for my teenage daughters - basically because most men felt that way.

I didn't want to skew the poll results incase you were doing some kind of research. I just voted though, so if you were doing some kind of research and wanted only votes from the 20+ demographic, subtract one vote from the "Yes" option.
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

I'd vote no as the maturity levels (something that matters to me) are probably incompatible. Well, the whole "illegal" thing doesn't help, either; although, the legal age of consent is 16 in some states.
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

15 16 is a bit too low for me...
I am 23 so my bottom limit is 18, maybe 17+
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

No, but I would when I was 10.

I would have, yes, if I found the right girl. I wouldn't date just any 16 y/o; and I would have walked on egg-shells until she was a bit older, for appearances. I've always been told that I look and act about 10 years younger than my age, so me in my 20s and her in her teens could have worked well. Today in my 30s I easily get along and relate with the 20-something crowd. Good thing, too, since this is the primary age group in my unit and work.

That thread was too long to follow but;

I thought he was saying that he found teen girls to be sexually attractive but that he personally would never sleep with them or date them?
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

Thinking back to my early 20s, I would have "fooled around" with a 16 year old, but I wouldn't have dated one.

At that point in my life I was very much into the bar scene and I wouldn't have had an underage girl ****ing that up for me.

In a nut shell, yes. My view on the matter is pretty much Jerry's view.

At age 25, I can say with some degree of certainty that, under any normal circumstance, I wouldn't date anyone under the age of twenty or twenty one. They simply wouldn't be mature enough, and I've been conditioned against it by our current culture anyway (I doubt that many men will respond positively to the poll for that exact reason).

However, I can't absolutely guarantee that I would never be tempted to do so. I might happen to run across a remarkably mature 17 year old one day, and fall head over heels in love regardless of how "weird" it might feel.

It's hardly like these kinds of impulses are rational, after all. lol

What about beer goggles and a stiff dick? Gee, I wonder if that could affect a logical thought process.
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

If I were 20 something (pleasant thing to think about) would I date a 16 year old? Maybe, if I lived in a state with a 16 year old age of consent. However:

mmm maybe not.

Once upon a time (1941, to be exact) a young man of 23 took his 17 year old girlfriend to Reno and married her.

The result, 10 months later, was me.
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

I wouldn't have gone younger than 18 but when I was 20 I was married

I never did but when I was mid teen it was relatively common for a 20-23 year old to date 15-16 year old girl. Personally, it was quite aggravating to me and other boys my age too.

About 25 yrs of age I shared an apartment with a guy of the same age Who dated several women at the same time. One particularly attractive girl he met in a bar would routinely visit for afternoon "quickies" and sometimes overnight; I discovered, to my great surprise, she was 15 yrs old ( she looked an easy 22-23) and her father knew who she was with and the guy's age. I thought my friend was nuts. That age bracket, these/those days, have different attitudes ..Ex. this same 15 yr old girl brought a friend to meet me specifically to climb in the sack..:shock:
Me? ... "Uhhh, I don't think so, sweetie"

That mid-teen girl / early 20s dating thing might be more common than one might think.

Of course, I have exceptionally superior willpower :lamo or maybe common sense .. or maybe a modicum of propriety .. or something :mrgreen:

Hope it helps your research

Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

When I was 19 I was hooking up with a 36 year old.

What do you think?
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

In my case it could, and did, effect my judgement in respect to short term engagements.

But in terms of steady dating or a relationship?

No.

I was never so drunk and so horny that I'd use a 16 year old for anything more than a cum dumpster.
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

When I was in my mid 20's my sister had a friend that was 15 but I swear she looked 20 and was super hot. She was hard to look at without "impure thoughts" but I never would have acted on the impulse. Mostly that was about going to jail though.:lol:
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

I'm eighteen and I'd date a 15/16 year old, but I won't vote in the poll.

Are you both still in the same high school?
 
Re: Poll for men only please, regarding sex with younger women

If we're being honest here, I did also briefly date a 15 year old when I was 18 the summer before I left for college.

However, at the time, I looked a lot more like 16. It was also done with her parents' knowledge, and I wasn't a sexually aggressive perv about it either.

She approached me at work and gave me her number. We hung out a few times, and I took her to the movies once or twice. That was about it. :shrug:
