Right or wrong, looking at her I would have had sex with her at fourteen and never looked back! She on the other hand must have some sort of as yet unexplained instability to be sexually attracted to a fourteen year old boy. The "forbidden" aspect I can see turning one on as a concept but I'm not sure I see how a boy's body could be that physically attractive to her. I'm sure we'll hear a lot more about it in the news and an eventual poorly made television movie.
As for the double standard aspect, I agree it isn't right but I think I might have a handle on where it comes from as pertains to this situation. Reality or not, young girls around the age of 14 are still seen as naive, still innocent, perhaps easily coerced or manipulated and physically less able to defend themselves. Boys of 14 however are seen as being immature yet guided by hormones that drive them sexually. They are also seen as being able to defend themselves and being physically stronger than girls or even an older woman. Therefore it is perceived that any girl with an older man is being taken advantage of and any boy with an older woman is just following instinct and taking advantage of the situation. The rational being that as a young "man" he could stop the situation at any time through his physical strength while the young girl might not. Not saying its right, but the double standard is there.
