Semantics again: fine. An adolescent is of the class of people determined by age with whom adults should not have sex, should not endorse having sex, and should not encourage others to consider sexually. Already the problems with sexuality endemic to our culture are guaranteed to be acting upon people that age, and they are encouraged to submit themselves the same way they are encouraged not to see themselves as people possessed of 100% of the value adults have. I just think the power dynamics between adults and people who aren't adults are of huge influence and can easily poison a person for life if they're used the wrong way.
