Well, I'm 16 and my boyfriend is 19. We aren't sexually active in any way.
However, if there is a 14 year old dating a 17/18 year old, then that's just disgusting. The boy would look like such a tool with his pre-pubescent girlfriend.
You appear to have pre-pubescent mixed up as well as wrong. Pre-Pubescent is defined as NOT having hit puberty as well as maturity. That term you used is defined as:

"relating to or being in the period of life just before puberty"
And the age of 14 is not pre-pubescent because the normal age OF puberty is 12/13 with most healthy teenage girls. In any case, it IS perfectly normal IMO to have that kind of relationship. Consider the "Romeo and Juilet" law- in which case this law in CT is to serve or to reduce or eliminate the penalty of the crime in cases where the couple's age difference is minor and the sexual contact is only considered rape because of the lack of legally recognized consent. Basically, it isn't rape or anything. For example:
I wish to date a 15 year old girl, and i'm 18. That makes the legal difference of three, i'm of the "Age of Concent" whereas she is not. IF I end up having a sexual relation with said other, WITHOUT parents permission, I CAN use the Romeo and Juliet law as long as I am in a well defined "Dating Relationship" with her. If I am not, than it IS rape. Also, if i DO get parental consent I CAN have a sexual relationship with her.
General rule of thumb is that IF i get parental consent, in the State of Connecticut, the age is lowered by one year of the Age Of Concent. Ergo, I can legally have sex with a 15 year old with NO consequences. Going back to the Romeo and Juilet laws, and to summarize, IF I have sex with a 15 year old, and it is NOT consented by parents, I can legally use the Romeo and Juliet Law as long as I provide evidence that I was in a dating relationship. Also, I will not be in the register of sex offenders, and as of 2011 (to my knowledge) I can effectively NOT have jail time or fines IF the parents of the significant other do not wish for any.
I dont quite understand why it's so weird.
