A mate of mine had a 6 month long fling with a 48 year old woman when we were 17. He bragged about it for YEARS, but feels pretty gross about the whole thing now that he's nearing 40 himself. I think you start to look back, then look around and see how bloody young a 17 year old lad actually looks (you don't feel like that at the time), and realise that it's all a bit messed up.
She had a son just a year younger too  . Messy stuff. |
I think if you have a son you'd definitely view it the same no matter what sex is involved. I would certainly have been equally angry if a 31 year old started something with my son or my daughter when they were 17
