Aussie here! I'm not sure if Australia has a culture that promotes or allows attraction to minors, however, I knew of many people (usually girls aged 15 - 17) during high school who were on dating apps and in relationships with older men (20+) . Some of the men were clearly exploiting them for sexual reasons, and some were even in prison.. which I found extremely concerning. While I can't point to something specific within our culture that may play a part, I think education has something to do with it. Our sex ed was extremely outdated and given to us far too late. We were taught about safe sex and consent when we were 16 & 17 when 13 & 14 year olds were already having sex with each other. I've been told that sexual activity (of those 13 and 14yos) would happen in class too, but I'm not sure how true that is. Now that I think about it some more, my school might've been particularly problematic. Several rapes occurred in and outside of school and the teachers tried their best to keep it from us, instead of viewing that behaviour as a sign of us needing more guidance and awareness. Even aside from these incidents, it's not as if talking about sex / dating older men was something the students kept secret. The teachers weren't ignorant to our issues at all. If I give them the benefit of the doubt, they just didn't know what to do.

2024-08-08 19:29:27 +0000 UTCI think Australia has a problem, culturally I had always assumed it to be similar to North America (not all American states - the more progressive ones Like) and the UK with these types of things, but then I married an Australian and learned a lot about the culture. It’s actually very bigoted and has a very ‘macho’ gendered culture. Toxic masculinity permeates everything to a degree didn’t realize still existed. I wonder if there are higher rates of minor attracted people in cultures with higher rates of toxic masculinity.

2024-08-08 03:11:20 +0000 UTCFrom what I understand it (as an outsider), France also has a huge issue with age of consent and ideas of power imbalances in relationships. For example, they recently set the age of consent to 15 (in 2021), before that it was still assault to have sex with a child, but not rape. This became a huge issue with a case that became famous that I will not tell the details of in which many adults were not charged with rape, causing the political momentum to change the law in 2021. Additionally, president Macron and his wife's relationship started when he was 16 and she was his teacher. (She's 24 years older than him and was married at the time).

2024-08-08 02:55:46 +0000 UTCGreat episode! The age of consent in BC was 14 until 2008 when it was raised to 16. It makes my stomach turn when I think of how many of my friends were with men in their 20s and 30s while we were in high school and how normal it was. One girl took a 30 year old man to prom and nobody batted an eye. I'm glad times have changed.

2024-08-07 19:09:08 +0000 UTCI would be interested if there is a study on the likelihood of a spouse or partner who ends up with a Person Attracted to Minors (PAM). I know of an anecdotal case where twice someone ended up with a PAM as a partner. Seems that’s either extremely bad luck or has an underlying pathology that lends to that?
