Never for titillating purposes, perhaps, but even that is somewhat gray area... 14, by the way, is legal age for sexual relationships in many countries.
With me, I think it would depend more on the maturity of the younger person.
Undeveloped 13 year old with an adult is just so wrong.
Younger person that is the instigator, don't put all the blame on the older one.

Anyway, people should be able to read what they want.
