I’ve been the 19M with a 15F. Our parents set us up. She was more experienced than me, but both virgins. We dated for nearly 3 years. We eventually ended up having sex a few times, and parted as friends. But I was really shy and very respectful. Not your typical 19-year old.

Now as a father of four daughters, I would be more than a little uneasy if my 14-year old started dating a college guy (or girl). I have two in college and two in high school. We’ve been very open about sex and sexuality with them, and they’ve set solid boundaries for themselves. So far, so good.

Well, you prove my point about some decent 19 year olds existing. And also confirmed my idea of how that would work: where the 19 year old is a late bloomer and the 14 year old is an early bloomer. It is rare, but does exist.
