Agediffereice is not really an issue, as long as both can accept it it shouldn't be an issue at all as long as both are of legal age.

Age difference when one is underage is different though, it has nothing to do with puberty and everything to do with maturity.
The laws that governs the age of concent is supposed to protect the young from being exploited by adults, not inhibit their sexual development.
When the young is thought to be able to make these decitions is up for debate though, some countries it is down to twelve for one or both sexes (Argentina, Chile, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, Phillipines) while other countries think that eighteen or even twenty is the appropriate age (Egypt, Japan, Tunisia, some states in US etc.).
In my opinion it is around fourteen to fifteen. But for a 20 something guy or girl to have sex with anyone under the age of eighteen is in most cases wrong. What other than sex with a virgin is there to such a relationship? It's not like adults have many common interests with youngsters these days.

As for me, being a guy that goes for a bit older women can sometimes be a bit troublesome but I think that experience (not many sexual partners, but experience in lovemaking (this gives me an idea, but I'll have to start another thread about that)) is way hotter than the innexpereince and very common selfesteem issues a virgin has.
