Do you think you would still think legal age is ok if you were older, say 29-30?

If I was 30 and she was 18 and hot, with all I look for in a female? Hell yes. If I'm bagging 18 year olds at Hugh Hefners age, don't I deserve the prize?! :lol:



Infact, I worked with an EMT yesterday who's 28, and his wife is 48. They got married when he was 23, and they've known each other pretty much his whole life. Age difference? Sure. Does it matter? Not really after you get out of school. Adult is adult.



What's his name, Aidey? :)

BBG - Thank you. That is the point I've been trying to make.

Linuss - Knock it off, you are not helping!



Edit: And if your spouse is old enough to be your parent that is definitely iffy.

That rule must be for old men because or me it work out to 20 which is two years younger then me. I'd still go down to 18

you got your eye on an 18 year old? go for it

as someone who dated someone 14 years older than he was at the time, I can say if you think he's hot, he thinks your hot, and you want to give it a shot, and you are both of legal age, go for it.

Personally, once i got out of college, I only dated or hooked up with people who were over 21 (if you can't buy a beer legally, come back to me when you can), but if you are looking for some fun, go for it.

On a totally serious note, I've had a lot of fun performing reckless behavior, some that probably weren't the smartest choices after the fact, but ones that are experiences that I can proudly say I did and had fun doing.

As I told my ex who (for some strange reason) asked me if I thought it was weird that she (an over 40 cougar) started dating a guy in his late 20s, if you think he's hot, he thinks your hot, and you want to give it a shot, go for it. who care what everyone else thinks as long as you are having fun?

Nah, I'm well behaved. No one is going to be planning an intervention for me any time soon.
 
According to the age rule I can go out with anyone who is 19 or older. As long as it is legal age in that state I personally do not have an issue.

Age gaps don't mean much. My parents have almost a 10 year age difference and have been married for 24 years.

I'm also a male age 20 so if there are any takers send me a PM :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I kid, I kid haha
 
I have definitely had some risky sexual encounters... you have to watch out for those ICU nurses, they are all nuts.

in all seriousness though I am 24, and have no intention of settling down any time soon. with that said, I used to be just like linuss in that I would chase anything that moved. I never asked their age for fear that what I was about to do would be illegal :ph34r: now days I still go out quite often but tend to be with the same chick for a month or two until things get boring then off to the next. I only date chicks 21 or older as I cant stand to listen to the nonsense that comes out of the younger ones mouths. I do feel as though those of us in emergency services tend to be more reckless with everything we do. I feel chicks are just as bad as us but keep dont talk about it as much.

IDK about that, I have had my share of both. the ER nurses are wild, the the ICU ones are truly nuts. great for the bedroom but bad when you stop calling.
 
I am 22. My husband is 28.

Doesn't seem too weird. But if we go by the age rule, I am too young. So I think that is silly.

6 years is just within the limits of an acceptable age gap, in my opinion. Any more than that, there may be issues relating to each other.

Additionally, I went the opposite that you did Angel...my wife is 38 and I am 32.
 
And since the topic is freak deaky stuff.

There was a dispatcher and a crew that got fired after the dispatcher cleared the unit for "main," and when the crew arrived the dispatcher went out to the ambulance and all 3 got freaky deaky in the back...
 
Umm. Wow.


I really don't like the direction this thread could head in, but I don't see anything that warrants closing the thread at this point. Be assured that this thread has MASSIVE attention from the CL team, though.

That said, I think that we, as ADULTS, can have a mature discussion about sex. (well, I'd like to dream that we could have such a discussion).

Further, I think that the OP has a point. If nothing else, many television personifications of EMS have involved loose moral behavior. (ER, Third Watch, Trauma, and I'm pretty sure Chicago Fire will get there if not cancelled first).

I see no reason we can't have this conversation if we keep this discussion relatively clean and family-friendly. That means PG or maybe PG-13, if you catch my drift.

Lust has been cemented into our DNA and is one of the main reasons the human population was able to thrive. Back in the day not every child survived birth and the availability of partners was nothing like today. So the urge to have sex with as many people as possible to maximize potential of the species to thrive was a necessary function.

I think for this reason this is not an issue limited to ems, but every profession an person. I think it is more prominent in careers that allow one to be away from home for long periods of time. I mean what the spouse doesn't know can't hurt em right?

Look at the CIA guys who got busted this year for the prostitute thing over seas. Airlines, fire, ems and other jobs that allow more time away from home allow more opportunity to be unfaithful. And I'm sure the temptations become greater when you're away and know you can get away with it.

Edit: To answer the question as to whether it is more harmful or not than other stress relievers.... It depends.

If you're single and not ruining your family by cheating, catching STDs, or making lots of baby mommas... I think it's perfectly fine.

If the age rule applies, then i can date anyone 21 and older.

Im currently dating a 19 college sophomore. (Humblebrag)

I dont view that as risky behavior...

Im not married, so im not really worried. I have engaged in activities with all the usual people EMTs interact with But i dont think that single consenting adults are engaging in risky activity
 
Although I haven't engaged in any "reckless sexual behavior", it seems to be more prevalent in EMS, at least in my experience. It seems that a good amount of my coworkers, and associates on the FD or in the ER, have engaged in such behavior; all of this is drawn from stories I've heard though.

I won't theorize as to what causes this behavior, as that's already been done, but it does seems more prevalent.
