Edit to add: I say this as a 52 year old woman whose children are all grown now, but the point still stands. ERP is relatively harmless between two teenagers, real sex can result in real life pregnancies that can wreck a teen's life if they aren't careful.
For someone so old you're quite naive... How do you think pedophiles seek their victims these days? Using "harmless" ERP on social media, it starts as ERP, your "relatively harmless" fun, after a while they agree to meet... Even someone as naive as you should be able to imagine what comes next. People on the internet are anonymous, you cannot know their age, that's why there is nothing like "as long as both parties are teens", you just don't know, cannot know, hence ERP needs to be harshly punished in all media content targeted at minors.
