This guy is a dangerous motherfucker, and he has you in his sights. Tell your dad, tell your mom, tell somebody right now before you wake up in the harem of some oil sheikh.

This is a full on Red Alert situation, kiddo. Battle stations!

If I had to put a label on it, I would probably pick bi. I feel like my sexuality is for me to know and for everyone else to learn about me if I'm comfortable sharing that part of me. My sexual attraction towards guys has had no impact on my relationship with my gf. I'm romantically and sexually attracted to her. We're both pro porn in our relationship, so it's not a big secret that I watch porn when she's not present. She does the same. Gay porn gets me off as much as straight porn. Last night just happened to be a gay porn night. That being said, now that my parents know, I do feel pressured to tell my gf about it.

Life stages are drastically different at shorter age distances the younger you go.

Developmentally, four months age difference in infants is a huge amount. The difference between someone in highschool and a nineteen year old is also huge. The amount of time that makes a difference gets larger as you get older.

But also you missed my point: it is in appropriate for someone in their 50s to pursue a teenager, no matter what side of legality they fall on, because there is an inherent power imbalance due to the experience differential that there is no way to overcome. That means that you can never actually be sure that it is consensual for the teenager (I can’t think of a single reason it would be), which makes it not okay, morally. Legally enforcing the nuance involved post-eighteen would be a nightmare, so instead we trust adults to self govern at that point. To make their own decisions to not be gross. And we rely on morals to gauge that and only enter consensual relationships.

Things will probably be awkward for a while. I don't think that your sexual preference has anything to do with it. It's simply because your parents caught you watching any kind of porn. The seem to be open minded people. But they are probably embarrassed by this too lol. I know that I would definitely be embarrassed if I caught my kid watching porn. Or vice versa. It feels intrusive for both parties.
