I had a boyfriend when I was 17, who was 23. It was never a problem and yes we had sex. I was pretty mature at 17 and it never even crossed my mind it was wrong or he was too old...we just worked together. It's all relative, depends on the situation. My parents knew from the start and they allowed me to date him. We were together until I was 20, I have no regrets with regards to that relationship. I grew a lot from it.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
