Reply #85: wayyyy back I was taught to only have sex with men I was ready to be tied to, since could be pg

If I had sex with someone, it would be with someone I would have to stay with if I got pregnant. So, everyone I had sex with I was emotionally involved with, sometimes inappropriately.

Wayyyy back, however, men could have sex with whomever, because they would not get pregnant. If the woman did, meh. Move on.

Then Roe v Wade was passed, birth control pills and other contraceptives became more readily available and the need to have sex only with someone you might stay with if got pregnant faded. I remember being chided "what's the matter? aren't you on the pill? aren't you liberated" by a jerk, and telling him that the reason I didn't want to have sex was simply because he was an asshole.

Times have changed, attitudes have changed, not sure if young women still feel that need to have to be highly emotionally involved. Not advocating having sex with everyone who is available, but not to have that strong strong need to be overly emotionally tied.

So, to answer the OP, yes. I think it is just as wrong no matter which sex either partner is. Having sex with underage people is having sex with people who have not had enough time, enough maturity, to be emotionally mature enough to handle the emotions that can, and often do, happen with sexual relations.
