Not between boys and girls they aren't. Teenage boys are not ready for families. I support 25-35yo men with teenage girls but I don't believe teenage boys should be with teenage girls at all.
I wonder about this, sometimes. I've seen enough instances where men effectively 'rise to the challenge' of leading thier family and fatherhood that makes me question how such things should be managed, and if we coddle boys too much from potential failure, even in this.
...conversely, there's the economic part of this whole clusterfuck to consider, so I dunno.
(As an aside, one of the most based catholic takes I ever saw on the question of 'how do we get teenagers to wait for marriage to have sex' was 'get them married while they're teens in an arranged marriage so they can have sex, you idiot'.)
The history is young girl with older man. Even Plato suggested the ideal age of marriage between man and woman was 25-35 for men and 16-20 for women and that was BC. Thousands of years ago. Teenage boys and girls being together is a rather modern degenerate take. Teenage boys need to grow into men before they start a family and teenage girls need to start a family before they expire like raw milk.

I think arranged marriages for sex would be superior to teenage sex without marriage tbh.
16-20yo girls are ideal for marriage.
