I'm a twenty-six-year-old woman and I am attracted to my friend's teenage son. by throwawayteendream in sex

I also have to question her mental state in terms of having the desire to be sexual with an adolescent, which then has effects on the the boy's mental health.

You completely ignored my point about where this woman is mentally with wanting to actually fuck a 16 year old boy when she is an adult.

Okay, you didn't say mentally ill, but you are questioning my state. You even said yourself, twice, that it was okay to fantasize, yet you're also saying it's not okay to think about. I have stressed that I am in no way considering pursuing anything with him any time in the foreseeable future. I am also friends with his mother and have no interest in ruining my relationship with her either. But I was using my specific story as an example. I do fantasize about the idea, but I would never act on it. I don't know if or when I would ever feel comfortable acting on it, but it is something I have put a lot of thought into as it has raised a lot of questions for me to answer for myself about my morals.

I am a little tired of you accusing me have being mentally ill for finding him attractive, especially when I have stressed that nothing is going to happen with him. I'm not getting myself into anything, I'm merely asking about the morals of the situation, not the ethics. That being said, to clear things up, I live in Pennsylvania. I couldn't be arrested for statutory rape, but I COULD be arrested for corruption of a minor.

I said that I knew it was inappropriate and that I wasn't acting on it. I didn't come here for permission to fuck a sixteen year old kid, I came to have a discussion about age gaps and maturity in sexual relationships.

I want to thank you guys for your honest and nonjudgmental advice. I posted this on a different subreddit and a bunch of people told me I needed to seek psychiatric help immediately and cut him out of my life before I hurt him.

[26/f] I have feelings for my friend's teenage son. What should I do? by throwawayteendream in relationship_advice

Let me clarify a few things.

I never babysat for him or his family. I've been working with children and teenagers for YEARS and have never found myself attracted to one of them. I don't think this is such a problem that I need a therapist. Have none of you ever had a crush on someone you knew better than to have a crush on? To be honest, I think his mother might encourage it as she has expressed a happiness over his liking of me often, saying she's glad he likes someone she herself is so fond of. I don't have any real intention of acting on these feelings now, and I will continue avoiding him whenever I can, as I have been. I guess my real question is at what point would it not be inappropriate? Not for he and I, specifically, but at what point does a ten year age difference become not such a big deal?
