Girls arent boys, and a 17 year old boy is perfectly capable of handling things that wont harm him physically or mentally, no matter how (socially) unwise they are. Nature designed him for this after all.
Imho this is a case of (mutual) ordinary sin, not corruption. It is fornication, not something that calls for millstones.
If this were a homosexual liason, or if the sexes were reversed, then you would have a point.
Well said. There are inconsistencies in life. One of them is the double standard. It is what it is whether 100 years ago, today or 100 years into the future. Call it hypocrisy if you want but few guys are going to view a horny 17 year old boy getting lucky with a hot teacher as child abuse. That’s why a 17 year old boy is not talking about Las Vegas when he tells his buds he got lucky nor is he going to wind up on the therapist’s couch for the rest of his life
Using your logic, girls should be able to consent to sex with adults as soon as they begin to menstruate. Nature designed them for it, after all, right?
