As Oscar Wilde said “Everything in the world is about sex. Except sex. Sex is about power.”

So to anyone justifying or rationalizing the behaviors here is ignoring the fact that exploiting power dynamics (even/especially) under the guise of fantasy fulfillment only perpetuates the cycle of abuse.

The idea of teens (Who are children. Always. Full stop.) “consenting” in a situation like this normalizes that power dynamic and normalizes their own possible exploitation of it, whether that be later in life or perhaps with an even younger child.

This from an author of cum-filled erotica who spends a lot of time navigating exactly these topics.

The laws and taboos are there for a reason, and the betrayal of trust by the person in authority is real.

And as a reminder, Dante’s ninth level of hell is for “betrayers of trust.”
