This made me think... This absurd legal disparity only makes sense in view of parental over protection.

This blanket banning of adult-child relationships is akin to banning relationships between men and women, or able-bodied and disabled people, because of a supposed power imbalance among those groups. Well, maybe some people would call that reasonable, but I don't.

Agree 100%.

I used to think that no longer being physically attracted to someone meant I was a shallow person, but compared to other relationships I witnessed, I viewed myself differently. I also began to wonder if being in a relationship indefinitely was even a healthy thing. I like to imagine my emotional connection to someone will allow me to continue being their friend no matter how old they become, but I will always be predominantly attracted to children or young adults.
