So there is a hardline being 18 But most people take it too literal and are like what moral difference does it make if I fuck a 17. 5Yr old and an 18 Yr old

But that misses the point If you are old enough where fucking a 17 Yr old is weird then fucking an 18 Yr old is really fucking weird too

The legal line had to be drawn somewhere but a 28 Yr old should be nowhere near college kids except maybe seniors or sth

I knew a 35 year old who dated and married a 23 year old. He’s autistic with adhd and physically looks younger than her so nobody really finds anything wrong with it.

The autism and adhd make him seem mentally younger as well with his childlike personality and maturity levels being lower for his age.

Of course, Guatemala is an entirely different world and age gaps relationships are pretty common and not as widely frowned upon as they are in the US. There’s definitely men who use it for the power dynamics and it’s part of the class divide with it being more common among poorer communities than the wealthier ones.
