How Young Is Too Young?
-
Personally not attracted younger guys who typically are your standard fuckboy. No 20 and below. Sorry lol
-
Too young or too old for that particulars persons comfortability.

What matters is that the couple love and respect each other. Age difference, even "age of consent" is irrelevant.
France doesn't have an age of consent, Italy is 14, most other European countries is 15, Australia is 16. As seen by a post above, there is a belief by many that the legal age is 18 "in most places". I first had sex when I grew up in India at 14. I had a crush on my next door neighbour who was 19 at the time and I remember sex with him was a dream come true.
I know that there is a lot in the media about how some sexual relationships with young teenagers has caused terrible psychological harm to them, but that harm is not caused by their age alone but by their inability to cope with an abusive non-consensual, non-respectful, non loving sexual encounter.
It also has to be said that the hysteria around this issue, which is historically recent, adds to the damage these situations cause by causing the perpetrator to have to go to great lengths to manipulate and threaten the victim so that their acts remain secret.
I read recently a book called "Sandel" by Angus Steward which was published in 1968, about a love affair between a 13 year old choir boy and a 19 year old student at Oxford. This book was for many years considered a classic of gay literature, but I don't think people realise how recently attitudes have changed, even in the gay community.
I read some reviews of the recent movie "Call Me By Your Name" which is about an intense love between 17 year old Elio and 24 year old Oliver. One of these reviews (by an American) used the word "pedophillia" to describe the movie. Pedophillia means sex with a child, that is, someone who has not gone through puberty. 17 is certainly not a child and Elio was actually the seducer. Oliver was more reluctant. The age of consent in Italy (where the film is set) is 14. This just illustrates how off the rails many people's attitudes about the sex and age have become.

When I was 13 I dreamed of being with an older guy/mature guy - since I was very young I've always hated / was un attracted to people my age or lower.. My first guy I did anything with was 59 stocky, and I loved it.. I've always been more mature for my age. I think it just depends on Compatibility, Patience, Passion, and some times what state your life is in.. its not fair or responsible for the other guy to support you financially..

Nothing under 26 for me.

Nothing under 26 for me.
why 26? why not 25?
to me it has more to do with experience and being comfortable and not awkward. that said, dont think i would be comfortable and not awkward with anyone younger than 20.

I wouldn't date or meet guys more than 10 years younger than me (I'm in my 40s)
-
I was 16 when I had sex for first time with my first bf who was 48 (that was barely legal in my country at that time).
My longest running relationship (11 years) was with a guy who was 23 year older than my (started when I was 19, he was 44).
In my opinion age difference doesn't matter as long as both of the partners are consenting adults. So I would never date a teenager and i don't approve adults (of any age) dating minnors.

20 is about as low as I will go although the age of consent in Germany is a lot lower. Too much drama if they are younger.
-
Considering my age (40), the youngest I would go with is 21 although i would go to 18 if there was someone that age
