But I did read that FBI expert Kevin Lanning says they are the most seducable people on the planet because of the hormones and curiousity at that age.  I am sure what you say is true about many boys being thrilled to have the chance to live the fantasy. But as a mom of boys- I sure would think they were being used exploited if my 24 year old neighbor decided to indulge the fantasy. Young girls get crushes on teachers all the time.  Maybe a male teacher who gives in to a teen girls seduction/fantasy isn't a pedophile but what he is doing, even if very wanted at the time, is wrong. Of course teenagers have strong sexual urges but adults ( male or female) who have sex with teens are doing something that is wrong.  We have all heard about young teens brought to adult prostitutes for initiation. I am sure many men would look back at that as a good time. But do you think it is likely some found it flat out scary. Is it possible that it might contribute to unhealthy relationships later in life? Maybe I will read a bit more, but my gut tells me that this type of initiation is not good for the boy even if he thinks he was "lucky" whether it is the next day or 40 years later.

Blurry I know, but my opinion.
