Did they want to be groomed?

post 16, or post 18, they can do what they want, denying the agency is wrong

18 ye I agree

Grooming is what pedo's do to children, I would call what you describe as courting or charming

Oh okay

a 30-40 could charm a young woman with his experience, is that wrong?, I don't know

So a college professor is just “charming” a student into giving him sex for good grades

Grooming applies to anyone underage, and isn't limited to sex.

Nah that's just prostitution

For example, Mister Metokur grooms kids to troll people on the internet.

“Prostitution”

K

Definitely not a figure of authority manipulating a subordinate

But s u r e

Just arrived what are we talking about today ?

How is that "grooming"? lol, "have sex with me and you get an "A", I wouldn't call that grooming, more like an immoral bargain

That's grooming.

Duh.

“Have sex with me, and I’ll give you a good grade, if you don’t I’ll make sure you fail your course and never graduate”

Then its blackmail

But there's a distinction to be made

A cult leader grooms his cultists no?

Grooming is a specific form of manipulation, involving minors.

or anyone

@OneTrueGod @British Cigarette sounds horrible ether way you slide it.

It is

A cult leader grooms minorities. He indoctrinates adults.

Yes, its probably not ideal

but

and I abduct an adult and kidnap a child

Makes no difference

I’m doing the same shit to them

When you absolve someone of any free will they have, removing their choice from the equation you disrespect them

@Goodwood of Dank™ but isn't that the same thing but will different terms ?

Do you disrespect a women by not allowing her to get an abortion?

No. Grooming specifically refers to minors. It is not limited to sex, either.

tho most of the time it does

Mister Metokur is one example of a non-sexual groomer.

Does an Islamic man “charm” his child bride? @OneTrueGod
