My FWB started a new dating account app just for casual sex/one night stands/casual sexting and set the age range as 18-35. They’re 26 years old.

Is it creepy/predatory to potentially have a one night stand/casual sex(ting) with someone as young as 18 at that age? I figured not since they’re not looking for anything long-term or romantic, but I’m on the spectrum so I’m really not good at assessing this kind of stuff in relationships.

    When I was 19 I was exclusively having sex with older partners, some as old as 66, so it's incredibly frustrating for me when people try to strip me of my agency and insist I'm a victim just because they think it's gross. Sure, there is a power imbalance, but there's a power imbalance in literally every heterosexual relationship, it isn't INHERENTLY predatory. Frankly, it feels very similar to how being queer will have bigots insisting that I'm a danger to children: you can't police people's sex lives just because you think it's icky, so you have to accuse them of being predators.
