Say, a twenty-one year old male meets a fifteen year old girl and they become intimately attracted to each other. Disregarding character traits such as Level of Maturity, is there anything ethically immoral about this situation? Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it, but then again I don't see anything wrong with most things. Then again I don't believe in any objectively substantial ethical law as an entity. R4R Don't let my Thread Tank! >.< Just give me your opinion.

I don't see anything inherently wrong with it. Such a relationship is probably more likely to become problematic, either from an unhealthy power imbalance or from societal issues, but those don't necessarily have to follow.

On what authority could we consider it immoral in the first place?

If you won't allow any character traits at all, then the question is irrelevant. Ultimately some of those traits may be subjective, but the theoretical aspects behind them are not. Kantian ethics is the closest I can think off that would not take the situation and the people involved into account, and even it will require more information about the people involved, in determining personhood and the like. FYI: Laws =/= Ethics. Remember that, please. As for your point on Subjectivism- I'd love to here what you have to say on that. Most self-proclaimed moral subjectivists I've met don't know what they're talking about. Not saying that's the case with you, but I'm very wary of it now.
