Honestly, I don't think age matters at all. It's no indication of maturity, awareness or consciousness. My boyfriend is 18 years older than I am, yet he tells me I am more mature than some 50 year olds that he knows. In my opinion, there is nothing inherently wrong with a 15 year old having sex with a 40 year old, if both of them are mature, loving, kind, healthy, and respectful. I don't think it's right to assume that all 40 year olds are creepy child molesters. I think most 40 year olds would not find they had much in common with a 15 year old and would likely have the foresight to know it would be a bad idea. All I'm saying is, if people are honest, loving, kind, and respectful then there would not be anything wrong with it if both parties are consensual. However, I do think age restrictions are in place because it's simply the easiest way to control the masses and protect them from harm.
