    I agree with some of your points, but I you should try rewriting your age gap paragraph. It’s very hard to understand and in your 15/18 year old example I think you end up saying the opposite of what you intend.

    Also pedophilia has a specific definition and is not interchangeable with underage. It’s specifically for prepubescent attractions.

      What would be the word for someone who is attracted to very young teens? Also, while it isn’t as easy to define, emotional maturity is also a factor. Like I know that some 16 yo can look physically adult but are mentally still a child, and while it wouldn’t be wrong for an adult to be physically attracted to them, it would be wrong to actually want to engage in anything sexual with them.

        I would argue that every 16 year old is still mentally a child. It’s just not enough time to learn how to be an adult.

          It’s hard to say anything about mental maturity based on age IMO.

          I have seen 16 yo who are smarter and more mature than some 20 yo. That’s not to say that the 16 yo are mature adults, but rather that even 20+ yo can be immature and even 16 yo can be mature. But it’s for sure less likely to be the case for a 16 yo.
