That's pretty much one of the problems with an older adult (as in, older than 20s) dating a teenager, to be honest. An older adult has more experience and developmental maturity (read: the brain's development and the psychology and mental capabilities connected to that) than a teenager does, and more often than not, a teenager has less experience and wisdom about relationships, sex, and methods of manipulation and is, therefore, more easily twisted, molded, and manipulated by an adult while they're in their blind teenage puppy love. Such a relationship can have an effect on their psychology and development. And often, older adults who go after teenagers specifically are actually the type of people who will mold said teenager into what they want, something they can't get from someone their own age.

So, there's that, and there's also the fact that an adult who's 30 or older dating and having sex with (even just sex without dating) a teenager is generally considered inappropriate anyway, regardless of who in the relationship is male or female, or if they're both the same sex.

And with that, I should get some sleep, as I've been up for over 24 hours. Whoops.
