I mean it's essentially the same act. I always felt like the after effect was more my problem than anything. I hooked up with a man who was 24 when I was 15. He was a teacher at my school. But not my teacher. And I didn't feel that I was in love or anything I wasn't groomed. I was just horny and thought he was hot. I had sex with boys all the time. I have had a high sex drive since about 11 maybe younger. I had had sexual relations with guys since I was 12. I had been considered socially openly gay and everyone knew including adults family well by 15 it was known I dated boys. So I don't really get what the difference was. I never felt taken advantage of I was just fwb I wasn't in love I didn't feel the relationship was anything serious and still don't. But having to be told when things were found out how one should feel is annoying I really didn't like being told I was too stupid/naive to decide for myself. When I did it all the time and I wasn't forced to tell anyone anything. It was my private business. It just sorta pissed me off and was what kind of messed some of my familial relationship which was inevitable. But I had to go to T for the first time which was a chore and a big pain in the ***. It also split me up from some of my friends at my old school and made me have to go to another school. I never socialized well with people I didn't know, I was always a loner. Which made me target for stuff. But I never let it get to me. It just was a new page in my life. But I never understood why an already sexually active person could not have sex with anyone of any age if they already make the choice to do so with people of their own age. I mean if it's abuse wouldn't all sex I had be when I was under 16. Is it just people don't like the idea of it? Like I mean I find teenage boys to be really really unattractive so anyone who does should be put away? But why must someone who does not feel victimized be forced to believe he/she is? For me out of the situation my biggest problem were those who jumped in.
