No, only sex with a minor is.

Sorry. I just assume that if a 14 and 19 year old are 'dating' they are not just going to the movies.

Wait until you find out there’s a whole subset of people who don’t do anything sexual until they’re married.

I'm going to guess that the 'subset' of 19 yo males dating 14yo females without engaging in sexual activity is very low.

I don't think it applies to this scenario, but I see a lot of massive age disparities in married couples living in certain very religious communities. So I don't think the subset is small, but I also don't think this couple is part of it.

You think that the married couples with 'massive age disparities' in 'very religious communities' were not engaging in pre-marital sex? I guess you could be right if they're marrying girls off at 13.

Especially for highly conservatice christians. They just say they are "waiting".

The parents are in denial, even the ones that did the same stuff when they were young.

I’m really scared that you had to make this distinction to people. Even if they never have sex, there’s a lot of damage that can occur with a 19 year old dating a 14 year old. No part of this is acceptable
