Sexual abuse is just okay


So, in essence we have a 12-year-old boy having sex with an adult woman. This is OK by 1980s standards. Now, today, in 2017 this would be taboo, as in reality, though Josh, the Tom Hanks character "looks" thirty, he's really 12. So for a girl, she may "look" 18, but guys are arrested because she is 12. Sigh, what a great movie to show our young kids.
So go for it Dad, have sex with that 12-year-old, 'cuz they are really 30 at heart, and at their sexual peak.
Gotta love Penny Marshall.

Great response...lol

Physically he's an adult and he's been living in the adult world for a while.

Yeah, and I'm sure he was jerking off long before that.

She saw an adult. There is no reason she would think he was actually thirteen. That being said, I wish some hot thirty-year-old woman had broken me in when I was thirteen.

This is the only reasonable response.

What do you mean, with all the female teachers fucking their students I thought this was kosher.

I went to such a crappy high school. None of the teachers were hot.

There were a few hot young teachers at my jr. high and high schools, but none of them were interested in being Mrs. Robinson to homely twirps like me.
