Ephebophilia is when an older adult is sexually attracted to post-pubescent teenagers or adolescents but still biologically adults—usually those in the age range 15–19. https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephebophilia

I believe that ephebophilia is not morally wrong as long as it’s between two consenting adults. For example if a 18 year woman wants to have sex with me a 26 year old man then I do not think it’s morally wrong because me and her are both consenting adults so what we are doing is completely harmless.

    But 18 and 19 year olds are not kids you idiot they are both legally considered an adult in most parts of the world

    But you’re still ignoring the huge difference in power dynamic. Unless you want that, in which case I can’t see how you could call that moral.

    Obviously I would never have sex with 16 and 17 year old woman because they both considered minors which makes it morally wrong for me to have sex with them because I’m an adult.

    Since you still struggle with the morality of the sexual power dynamics of having sexual relationships with those too young to understand the concept, it’s clear that it’s not any sense of morality stopping you— it’s the legality.

    I have no doubt you’d fuck kids if you didn’t fear the legal consequences.

    So the question remains: why do you wanna fuck kids so bad, and why do you think fucking kids is moral?
