You're 18. That's not love - it is a boner. Leave the kid alone and find someone of age.

What is allowed:

Anything her parents allow, unless they're breaking the law themselves. In other words, you do what they say and follow every single rule that they lay down.

What is not allowed:

Everything not covered by ^^^ that.

Per www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/iowa-age-of-consent-lawyers.html

In Iowa, the general age of consent to engage in sex is 16. However, females may consent to sex at age 14 so long as their partner is no more than 5 years older.
