Just a passing comment: inappropriate though it may be, I don't see why it's illegal. He's over the age of consent, and presumably his boyfriend isn't a teacher or something, so isn't abusing his position, which is a criminal offence.

but anways since i think people on this forum are quite clever and also people on this forum range from teens,young adults,middle aged adults,and seniors i think it would be a great if yoo could answer my thread.
That's statutory rape where I live. Also, at the risk of repeating what everyone else has said, I don't care how mature you think you are, at 16-17 years old, you are still a dumbass. No offense intended.

In this state the hetero age of consent is 17. The gay age of consent is 18. Biased? Yes. Rarely enforced with peers. However,with an age differential of 16:37, the guy WOULD be arrested if parents complained. If convicted,he would have record as a sex offender which would follow him for life.
The kid asked for advice,probably actually wanting affirmation,as I suspect he has no intention of giving up his boyfriend. A common view here is that at 16 he is not mature enough to go with an adult. That opinion isn't complex or even controversial. It's no accident that most countries have laws to protect children under 18yrs from being exploited and from their own poor decisions.
Of course he may well be a very mature 16 year old.That would be a first for me, as I've never actually met such a creature before.

If he were exceptionally mature, we would not be having this conversation. With maturity comes the ability to be suspicious of people's motives, as he should be about this man.
I don't mean that to be offensive. It's a good thing to be immature when you are young. You don't get much of a chance to do that in this life.

Indeed. Aussie men tend to mature at about 40,if they're ever going to.Most of us don't bother,we're a lot like Americans that way.

Growing old is mandatory. Maturing is optional.
