There's little difference in the average cognitive development between a 24 year old and a 29 year old. A 14 year old really isn't cognitively mature, whereas a 19 year old is.
There's a huge difference there.
I don't think I'd be comfortable with a 14 year old dating a 19 year old, especially where sex is involved. The average 19 year old is very different to your average 14 year old psychologically, and they're probably going to hold a stronger and more defined position within society as well. The balance of power is VASTLY tipped in favour of the adult in these relationships, which is why I think that they are so dysfunctional.
At the very least I'd be inclined to percieve an awkward power-play.
