Would it be wrong for a 19 year old to date a 16 year old?

Hello, (In UK where consent is 16) So I’m going to be 19 soon and the girl I like turned 16 about two weeks ago. Would it be fine for someone of my age to date her? Plus something I’m unsure on as obviously the age you become an adult is 18 would it be illegal to look at and masturbate over a photo of say a 15,16 or 17 year old girl?

  • Dating at over 16 is fine in UK, as long as parents are OK with it. There are no laws against dating. With parental permission, you can marry at 16.

    As for masturbating over a photo, if it is a sexual photo, like nude or semi-nude, then the possession of the photo, if the subject is under 18, is illegal. A photo that is in no way sexual is fine. We all have them. I have school photos!

    • Thank you for MHO!

  • It’s okay, just remember they’re probably a lot more naive than you do don’t go taking advantage of them. Then that’s totally wrong but there’s a lot of relationships like that in my school.

  • Nah not much age difference and a lot 15,16,17 year old kids resemble adults. No sex tho that’s wrong

  • I don't think it's wrong. There's not really much of an age gap. Having sex may be illegal depending on your county/ state though so look into that. Also it'll be illegal to have any sexual pictures of her but it's not necessarily wrong in my opinion.

  • I don't know, you would have to check the laws in your area to see.. I would think dating is fine... Anything sexual would not be.. if being a legal adult is age 18

    • It's legal, because the age of consent is 16

    • Interesting. So I guess he is feeling like it's morally wrong to do it then?

    • Yeah, I think so
