someone said to me having a 15y girl and 18y boy relation means the boy is pedo. i wanna know what's your thought on it?
First of all the age gap is not that big
Second being a pedophile is a mental sickness
Many manga readers always assumes when a male character is older than the female character they would always say the male is a pedo.. vice versa
A pedophile is a person who has a sustained sexual orientation toward children, generally aged 13 or younger
A 15 years old is not a child anymore but an adolescent or teen even a 18 yrs old is a teen
So how can we call the 18yrs.old a pedo?
If they are having a relationship this is what we call a PUPPY LOVE
In this modern times it is not a surprise when a 12 yrs old is having a relationship with a 20yrs old . But the LAW doesn't allow that
That's why many people specially the parents which have this cases in their kids are againts such relationships..
But in ancient times this cases are very normal they do not have only relationships but marriage.
It's not considered pedophilia if your 2 or 3 years apart when one is age 18. I'd say 3 is kinda a stretch tbh. But if they are a freshman dating a senior I wouldn't consider that right because one is basically an adult and the other is still going to be in highschool for another 3 years plus whatever's left of this year
But they shouldn't do anything intemate. At 16 I believe is of age (for sexual activity's I think. tho this is might mainly just between teenagers and 18yo) I don't think they are pedophile but I do think that at a certain age gap is a stretch that shouldn't be crossed. 15 ig might be fine. 16 would be better understanding. Anything under 15 would just be a big no. Because ones mind is still in progress and needs more knowledge before hoping into relationships especially with older people which can lead into major things like manipulation since it would be easier to decive someone younger without any common knowledge
someone in the comments literally said its pedophile goodbye
