I would like to know opinions about what age has to do with sex. It is very alarming, to me, to hear that someone always blames the older person from what is happening between a 14 and 25 year old, or a 17 and 31 year old.
I feel that if someone is able to decide that they want to have sex, they are able to take responsibility for their actions. This means that is a 13 year old female decides to have sex with a 25 year old, it would be her choice. If on the other hand that the 25 year old manipulated the situation, then it would still fall on both parties. you thought that I was going to say it was the 25 year old’s fault, didn’t you?
Now, with that being said, the 25 year old, let’s call him Joe, Joe tricks Amy, the 13 year old, into having sex with him. Joe promises Amy the world in return for sex. Amy is now a prostitute. She has traded sex for Joe’s promises. Does anyone see something wrong with a 13 year old prostitute? Sure you do. Amy believed Joe though. Why?
I feel that if Amy’s parents had taken the time and given a little tough love, Amy wouldn’t have decided that Joe’s solicitation to her sex was not such a good idea. Amy’s parents may have taken the time though and Amy went though with it anyway. If Joe decided to have sex with Amy for 6 months and then leaves, they don’t have a child, Amy will be hurt. This is a lesson learned by Amy. She should learn from this and know what to do next time.
If for some reason that Amy gets pregnant while her and Joe are having sex then they are both equally responsible for that child, not Amy’s parents, even though it will be on their shoulders anyway. If Joe sticks around to help provide for the child that is great, and he is doing what he should do as a responsible father. If Joe leaves Amy and parents to take care of the child, Joe is a looser, ass, and any other names that would fit that type of profile. In fact, any man of any age that leaves a mother of any age would fit that bill, not just Joe vs Amy.
Amy’s choices in life will lead her to grow up. Amy’s parents should be helping with that process as much as possible, not enabling it. Amy’s parents can control some aspects of her life while she is young and under their roof. It is still Amy’s responsibility to heed to what her parents have taught her, and not do what Amy’s wants to do all of the time.
I feel that all to often people, parents, family, and friends want to put the responsibility on Joe, just because he is older. Does 15 to 16 make a difference in age? Does 17 to 18 make a difference in age? 14 to 18 makes a great deal difference in age, sometimes. It really all depends on the person. If you make a decision, you should have to live with the ramifications of that decision, not pawn it off on someone else.
If Amy decided that having sex with Joe was not a good idea or Joe decided that having sex with Amy was not a good idea, then at least one of them has a brain. If they both agree that having sex is a good idea then they are both on the same maturity level and both should be completely held accountable for their action with each other and take those responsibilities in stride, because it was their choice.
Any comments?
