31. Right and there were states who's age of consent was 14.
Here in Maryland I think our age of consent is still 16. In all honesty I may be a bad person to speak on this subject. Because at my age it's hard to have sex with anyone without kinda feeling like a pedophile. I'm 76. If I have sex with a 50 year old woman. Our advanced age doesn't change the fact that I was 26 years old when that woman was born. It's still a May December romance. Even though younger people might see it as more of a Christmas Eve New Years Eve romance because we're both old by their standards.

47. I don't see this as pedophilia. The pathology is totally different.
This is what your not understanding. What people object to is the age difference. In my example when that woman was 14 I was 40. If we had sex then I would be a pedophile. But that age difference never goes away. So why is it unacceptable at 14 and 40? But perfectly acceptable at 50 and 76. I'm still older and more experienced. I can still provide her with a lifestyle someone her own age probably couldn't."
