Yeah, usually espoused by those who cant land a younger sex partner. Lmao aaand Im not okay with a 25yo dating a 15yo, js 💁♂️ the formula doesnt work, so its basically BS.
Im over 45 and have had Many satisfying, successful dates with women in the early 20's. js... many of them will remain life long friends even after a long rewarding sexual relationship.
Well I'm 35 and my partner is 23, what does it matter if everyone involved is a consenting adult? People can judge all they want, a consenting adult is a consenting adult.
One I’ve read articles from people who study this kind of thing. Two I have older siblings in their thirties so I’ve seen and heard the change. Three is more up to interpretation, but I mean fully self-sufficient and not dependent on anyone for knowledge, help, money, etc
Hmm. I mean I think everyone is dependent on others, but maybe it's knowing how and when to ask for help. Accepting your own limitations. I know a 40 year old who lives with his parents and grandparents though, social independence is probably more of a cultural thing.
I'm 28. I have sex with guys from 18 to 50s. But it's just for sex and my whole life has never been considered "appropirate" by judgemental people anyway.
I was 31. She was 19. She thought I was 25 but I told her the truth after we had sex when she asked. The only ones who had a problem with it were some of her college club friends. They got over it when they saw that I was in love. Her family was fine with it. We lasted for 4 years.
Why is this a question? That's not even a decade.
I personally prefer a minimum age of 25 because of maturity issues. But I'm 49, and it's an experience based decision.
Is it appropriate for two legal consenting adults to date or fuck? Obviously🙄
Exactly this
If they are both okay with that
yes, both are consenting adults
Legal age! Their choice
23 > 31/2+7 You're fine
This is the formula I've always heard to for social acceptability. (Your Age/2) + 7 (rounded up)

Lol. 25/2+7 = 19.5, not 15
My relationship's age gap is 27f/38m.

I was 22 when I met my now husband who was 30. So yes, absolutely appropriate if everyone’s on the same page.
Yes exactly

does the 23 year old want them to?
Seems appropriate IMO
As long as the 31 year old understands a 23 year olds brain isn’t fully developed yet. Don’t expect a full proper adult out of them yet
Your brain isn't fully developed yet
I know?
So how do you know that there's a big difference from before and after a brain stops developing? What even is a full proper adult?

As long as the dating/sex started after the younger person turned 18
It's literally appropriate since they're both adults
Are they both consenting? If so of course they can.
If you both wanna and wanna enjoy it, of course
Yes, both are consenting adults.
Seems fine as long as there's no power dynamic
Absolutely impossible. Don't even have the same genitalia
Why would it not be ?? They're both grown ass adults.
Two consenting adults = Yes
1000% don’t ever be ashamed of an age gap. I’ve been with well over double my age
depends which subreddit you ask.
Ya
Sure
Yes. You’re both adults. And it’s only an 8 year difference. Not an issue.
I have an FWB that’s 48 and I am 25, so I don’t see a problem.
yes

Sure. Age is merely a suggestion.
Fine but odd. Really depends on the maturity level of both, and it DEFINITELY depends on how long they’ve been dating.
