In the last few years, we've seen a substantial rise in the number of celebrities having a wide age gap, date. It's become such an important topic to discuss that it's almost considered as a subject of national importance. So how really important is it to consider the age gap between two people? Well, who are we to decide that? As long as the couple is in love and is fully compatible, they have no reason to split. The difference in age is hardly a matter of concern if two people are ready to look past that and have a beautiful life of their own, on their own.

We came across a query on Quora where a 22-year-old guy has raised concern over having sex with his 18-year-old girlfriend. He feels that due to the four-year age gap between them, she's not experienced enough to have sex with. And by experience, he doesn't mean experience in bed but in "life". So, how important are life experiences when it comes to having sex with someone? Clearly, not important at all! Well, there are quite a few other things that are important for this 22-year-old guy to learn though. What are those? Let's find out...

A. To begin with, honestly speaking you're only 22 and you don't have enough experience either so it's unfair for you to think that an 18-year-old girlfriend of yours doesn't have enough of it. Also, since when did having life experiences become criteria for having sex? If you guys have been dating for a while, have great chemistry and want to have sex, there's nothing else that matters. Is Social Media PDA Really Important? – Relationship Query of the Day.

If you are bothered by the four year age gap, look at Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra or George Clooney and Amal! They've all had a wider age gap between them and yet, they've not only managed to work out their relationship but also set an example for each one of us. So, as far as your concern for the age gap is, its all in your head. You're only 22 so don't really be bothered by something as small as this because as long as you're both in love, none of that matters.

Speaking of ethics, it would be ideally unethical of you to think that your partner doesn't have enough life experiences. It's true that she's younger than you but that doesn't make you wiser or smarter or more experienced than her or vice versa. We all come with our own emotional baggage and it may not necessarily mean that just because a person is younger, they know about life any less than you do.

Moving on to the sex bit, as long as she is officially, legally an adult and is ready to have sex with you, as much as you do, there's nothing that should be coming in your way. Maybe you need to loosen up a little bit and have a broader perspective towards her and your relationship to make it work.
