The 45yo prob has kids, surely has baggage, and more than likely the beginning stages of arthritis. I don't think it's right to burden a young 20yo child with ALL the middle age crap that comes by default. The 20yo has a whole life-time ahead of him/her..... To me, it's like using power and position to gain the upper hand on a inexperienced or infatuated person.

I do believe however, once both parties are OVER 40, for example, a relationship in which the man is 60 and the woman is 40 or vice-a-versa... is perfectly ok. -- no innocence loss.
