I feel you're treading in similar waters to a thought experiment I've pondered before:
Imagine you either remember or fantasize about a sexual situation that occurred while you yourself were a minor with another minor. Is there something inherently wrong with becoming aroused by this? What if you're fantasizing about a situation where you were underage and something happens with someone who is not? Does anything change if you write it down? What if you draw it? Is it less wrong if you're imagining to be the underage person than if you imagine you're the older one?
I don't have any answers to any of this of course, other than it feels less wrong when you're imagining/remembering yourself to be an underage person in these situations as you can sort of retroactively consent in a way?
I guess the takeaway is probably that fantasy and reality are too different to be judged the same, and the only danger arises from those who start blending the two.
