My opinion on how some people conduct themselves in relationships is irrelevant, ivy..

nics? 😮

fact is.. some woman are attracted to younger guys, whether it be right or wrong in the eyes of the law, whats so hard to understand about that?

Ok, guys, sorry. I know I have a tendency to waffle on and get led into answering endless streams of questions.

This is something close to my heart as I have a 15yo daughter and I also talk with alot of her friends and also alot of the youth I encounter through our volunteer work. The work I do reaches as far as the Blue Mountains in Western Sydney and down here to the South Coast...so it is really a broad spectrum of kids. Coming from a Church background with our volunteer work it is surprising the information kids volunteer and approach us with for advice etc. It may not be the case for all teens in all areas, but the consensus is that more than 35% of 14yo's have already had more than 3 sexual encounters. That is information from pamphlets from sexual health agencies, DOCS, FACS and various university studies. Just because it isn't the norm amongst your child's circle of friends, please don't think it isn't the norm. You are just lucky that your child is in the other percentage.

As for those that say they are naive if they think their child tells them everything...be glad...mine actually does ! Things I don't want to know, but am glad that I do. So I can protect, inform and take action.

See I told you I waffle on lol.

I don't believe that just because a female is attracted to a person of a younger age, that that is her taste in general. Prior to my relationship with Kieran I had always been with guys between my own age and 10 to 15 years older. I still do not find younger guys attractive, other than my now husband. I fell for him, or should I say he won me over lol, I do not find any other guys in his age group attractive at all. If anything I would be more inclinded towards the Sean Connery type lol. Weird hey.

Crystal, just make sure your daughter is aware of the laws regarding her friend's age. It could well just be flirting, which is harmless. If it moves beyond that, she needs to be very careful.

The Mrs Robinson references are old and tired. It was a movie and they were both consenting adults.

well when I was 21 if one of my gf's rocked up somewhere with a 15yo boyfriend in tow we would be in fits of laughter, it would have to be a joke, imagine going out in a group with all the partners and some kid is coming along, on the other hand I had a girlfriend who was 14 and had a boyfriend who was 25 they never went anywhere together as partners but we all knew it was going on, .......I get what you are saying obviously it happens but I'd suggest it would be a rare thing, most women would not be attracted to 15 year old boys/ I would not be happy at all if it were my son or daughter.  So IMO yes it's wrong.

Well that's the point no C&P can deal with.

But this is the chook thread.
