Mostly it isn't an age thing, it is a maturity thing... the younger they are it gets a little less likely that I'll see the maturity to be sexually attracted. Even there, regardless of maturity My personal cut off point is a couple of years above legal (Legal in the UK is 16 for sexual consent)... I didn't sit down one day and decide that's what I'd do... just that I get 'alarm bells' going off with a 17 year old, and not with an 18 year old... even if I thought it was the latter and wasn't getting red flags popping up all over the place, the instant I found out... oh my is that the time OKTHXBYE!

I've mostly found the kind of chemistry I look for with early to mid 20's... but certainly not exclusively I know many women I regard as extremely attractive a couple come to mind that are over a decade older than Me . I do NOT believe I will get to an age where that suddenly changes.

Ok, what looks good to one at 16 is still going to look good to one at 60. Now having a close relationship with someone with a large age difference from you can be a difficult thing. Or, a person can just relate better to a different age group.

At 22, I was dating a lady that was 42. At age 32, I was dating a lady that was 19. It comes down to attraction combined with mutual interests I think.

I do separate "attraction" from "good looking". One is appreciation of beauty the other is enjoying being close to on many levels. I was once told by a Parisian co-worker that I should be French for my thesis that women are most attractive in their thirties. In their thirties; age has not yet wilted the bloom and vigor but supplied the experience to know what they want and to enjoy the taking of pleasures to the fullest.

But, I suppose one could get into having an age fetish, but I don't roll that direction.

I've been having a disagreement with someone over a very sticky subject (I suppose that's subjective - it's just sticky for me, probably) and I thought I'd see what the general forum thinks. It's a bit biased to ask in a BDSM setting, but I figure it's a good starting point because if anyone is going to be honest about it, BDSMers will be.

Are you sexually attracted to legal adults under the age of 20? Do you think everyone is, or every man is, or only certain men/women are? Is there a point at which you think you're too old to be acting on those fantasies, or even having them? Or do you think that anyone legal is fair game to sleep with?

I'm mainly asking this because I have pretty much believed that a lot of people (with the exception of those specifically into the dynamic) sort of know as they get to a certain age that very young adults are sort of off limits and don't even really find it appropriate to be thinking of them in that way, but it's been brought to my attention that I may be awfully naive I'd love to be set straight on this, if it's an obvious truth, or I'd love for someone to confirm my belief that not everyone is attracted to very young adults.

By the way, please notice that I've said legal adults. I'd really appreciate it if no one gets the thread pulled by mentioning anyone who is not a legal adult.
