I agree in principle. As long as they're both of consenting age and there isn't a creepy power dynamic going on where the older partner is obviously taking advantage of someone much younger then it shouldn't matter. It all depends on the people involved and where they're at in life.
When I was in my mid-late twenties I started seeing a girl who was 17. We had a lot of fun together and really clicked as a couple, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little insecure about sleeping with a girl who wasn't even out of high school while I was looking for grad schools to attend. And not being able to go to bars or bring her to hang out with my friends at adult events was a bit of a pain, but we found a way to make it work and the relationship ended up lasting for three years. Her maturity (and perhaps my own immaturity, to a certain extent) helped bridge the age gap considerably.
