Clearly it’s wrong to pursue a teenager when you’re in your forties. It’s also wrong to accept a teen’s advances in that situation. But emotions are ethically neutral. Ethics pertain to actions and motives, not emotions.

I'm honestly surprised at all the "yes" in any of these, but I probably shouldn't be at this point. You don't really get to choose what or who you're attracted to, only how you act. Saying yes to any of these is saying one is immoral for something outside their control.
