My suggesting that it's gross is wholly different than creating laws or suggesting that something be banned. There's no perfect answer as to what should be allowed by law. It's all a compromise, thus the example of it being tricky legal ground for someone that's say 18-20 having sex with someone that's 16-18 which in most cases, people would consider reasonable.
I didn't make anyone into a victim. You're projecting here. I stated that it was gross, specifically, for someone whom I believe wrote that they were 46yo. Regardless of the age of the smashee, bragging about it on the Internet is also gross. A gentleman does not do such things if for no other reason than the fact that one won't be able to get the wildest, uninhibited performance out of their partner, if that partner is concerned about someone trying to get some fucking cred on the Internet by bragging about it.
Also, you're presuming it was a girl. I was guessing it was some kind of daddy/boy thing.
Hey don't insult my dachshund you indolent twat!
I'm so glad my fire is still smoldering here.

FYI I suggest you dig deeper into the viral "brain isn't fully developed until 25" nonsense.
Attractive to those attempting to remove responsibility, the fact is the brain is fully developed from a biological perspective well before that, around the time maximum height is reached.
After that, the brain continues to change in response to stimuli, nutrition, and other factors throughout life. You won't find any more significant changes between 20-25 than you would between 35-40, or 55-60.
With a lifespan well under 30 for the overwhelming majority of human existence this claim was patently idiotic from the start, but survived for social and political reasons.
Those who cling to this notion should be fierce advocates against pot legalization for those under 25, because if you "believe the science" the likelihood of a permanent intellectual deficit increases with use beginning at an earlier age. We can see on scans, we can measure it on tests.

All I have is the science to go by:
Which suggests to me that the prefrontal cortex isn't typically fully developed until around age 25. That doesn't account for individual variability or emotional maturity or whatever, but otherwise seems pretty straightforward to me.
Also, why are so many papers on this topic behind a damn paywall?

Those two are the most oft quoted papers by anti-death penalty advocates, and a host of other "let them off the hook" policy advocates.
Plenty of more substantive science has pushed back against these assertions in the decade+ since.
Does The Brain Really Mature At The Age Of 25?
The human brain is a lot more complex than many people think.

We can actually watch the prefrontal cortex volume increase and decrease over the course of just a year, shrinking from heavy pot use, for instance, and increasing when someone takes on a new challenging hobby.
Lol.
There is a chance the gentleman was talking about your face, not the dog's.
Anyway, is he/she wearing a bandana?
There's that look in the dachshund' s eyes that says "I may or may not have been possessed by evil spirits".
I might be wrong, but I am usually quite good at identifying beings that are in need of some form of exorcism.

I invite you to supply those citations. Really, anything other than an opinion piece. We can argue about the implications, but the science seems pretty straightforward. Chrononeurogenesis exists and is proven by multiple studies (not listed) using MRI observations. The fact that the prefrontal cortex is the last to develop also seems pretty well settled.
For the prefrontal cortex, cortical thinning seems to peak around age 25 which represents a period of neural pruning. From what I can tell, that is generally consider the end stage of development for a particular section of the brain. Certainly, the brain remains a degree of plasticity throughout life and that plasticity can be preserved by various means.

I am just seeing this now.
What is this relating to?
