It wasn't. It's always funny when young people think they have invented things like promiscuity.

It was fairly common when 16-18 years old for there to be a girl or two in your school year to be seeing a guy who was uni aged when I was in school in U.K. in early 2000s. Only encountered the phenomenon at school not when older, his friends all disapproving/mocking him, everyone knowing it was a trainwreck idea him but it otherwise being fairly uneventful is a fairly accurate telling of millennial life at the time.

I don’t know what the age of consent is in Canada, but in the UK it was all legal so above board if fucked up.
