Interestingly in the very popular recent novel "The Reader," one of the not-much-remarked-upon subthemes was that the 15-year-old boy is negatively influenced for life -- limping emotionally for decades later --- because of his romantic/erotic relations with a sexy woman in her 30's.
As I said, it was sub-theme, not the whole burden of the book. But it portrays the sexually "lucky" kid as subsequently being unable to trust, to allow his emotions to connect with a spouse or sexual partner, to give fidelity or warmth or loyalty, to form an enduring bond.
It mentions almost in passing that after his cold marriage and divorce years later, he realizes he's wounding his small daughter -- maybe replicating in her his own woundedness --- and he seemingly can't do otherwise.
Just a novel, I know: but in my observation, true to life in that particular detail.
Yes, early "affairs" can stunt boys and men for life.
Comedy?
Can being the key word. Those some 15 year olds can be just as stunted sleeping with another 15 year old - in fact they are probably more likely to get pregnant (assume a 30 year old would require protection). And even if you don’t condone it, I hardly find labeling someone permanently on the sex offender list for a 21 year old sleeping with a 16 year old, which is what many states do.

Plus, she was a Nazi.
Well okay, not exactly a Nazi, but close enough.
