If I said to you, "no offense, but what you did there felt rape-y to me," you'd likely be concerned: the implication of a consent violation is unavoidable. When you say "it'd feel quite pedophile-y," the clear implication is that you're dealing with the equivalent of a child.

I see your point. Thanks for making it. You’re sticking up for the capability of an 18 yr old to do whatever they like as a rational adult. I dig that. I guess what I’m trying to convey is that from the shoes of a 35 year old man, a data point of one, it just feels wrong.
