14's too young so I can't call that "okay". The guy's in the middle of puberty and probably screwed up (which is normal at that age).

That aside. There is a double standard, and that's how it should be. It's a combination of two things.

1. Men are bigger, stronger, and more likely to be predators. It's a man's job to protect women. That's how I was raised. That's how my dad, grandfather, etc were raised. Would I have needed protection from a 34 year old women when I was 16? Unless she was an authority figure, or had me at gun point, no. I'm bigger and stronger. I may need protection from a certain part of my anatomy at that age, but that's true no matter how old she is.

2. Men don't get pregnant. Now I was also raised that if I got a girl pregnant, that I would be a dad and not a sperm donor. That goes at 15 or even today at 33. If my girlfriend was pregnant, I'm buying a ring. I probably should soon anyway once my businesses stabilize, but that's another discussion.

Now if I had a 14 year old daughter and some 34 year old guy had his way, click click boom. Goes back to the men are bigger and stronger thing.

If I was in the 14 year old boy's shoes, I don't know how'd I react. I was mentally a later bloomer (hence as I said - guilty). At 16, big smile and keep my mouth shut because my mom would send someone to jail if word got back. Personally, I wouldn't be complaining.

I don’t think there should be a double standard.

As in I don’t think teen boys or girls should be having sex.

I believe we should teach our teen boys to respect women/girls and wait till marriage. Or am I just an old Nun?

Is this too much to ask of a teen/adult male? If you think of it it is more than just respecting females it is also respecting marriage.
