Age-Gaps

Allow me, please, to have a little gripe about something i've noticed.
It takes a special kind of person to 'love' (in whatever way you wish to take that) someone that is 5 or 6 years their junior. Now, while that sounds a little unfair, put this into perspective:

If a 24 year-old and a 30 year-old were together, sure, that sounds reasonable. you put the ratio a little earlier and things start to sound a bit odd ..... a 20 year old and a 15 year old?
I smell a rat. The rat of illegality.
To me, that's just...... not right. Emotions or not. In that equation, I see a vulnerable, naive, hormone driven teenager, and a grown up with the ability to manipulate, use and ultimately hurt.
do you think he'd think about it like that? That he'd remember the age gap? That he'd think it was odd there was a child after him? Is he immature, and they're actually a good mental match? I don't know.
But what I do wonder is if that attraction - to young teenage girls - remains even in older life. Is this where that infatuation in porn comes with 18 year-olds? Because they're still teenagers, but legal?

What's wrong to sticking to people your own age, at least partly?
