BTW I don't need sexual tension in my Spider-Man. If I wanted sexual tension, I'd watch a porno.

However, The Spectacular Spider-Man did perfectly fine with Black Cat even though Peter was a high school student, so they could do it fine here if they wanted to.

Sexual Tension between characters is part of what makes endearing, dramatic storytelling. There are lots of great stories with Sexual Tension between Lois Lane and Clark Kent, Peter Parker and Black Cat, Batman and Catwoman and Jean Grey, Scott and Logan just to name a few. It adds a whole new dynamic to a story. Sex can also be character building. Early on in Mark Waid's run on Daredevil, Matt Murdock would have an occasional hook up to help illustrate and cement his new outlook on life. Taking joy in being a hero, going on crazy adventures, getting involved with dangerous women and general thrill-seeking were major parts of the character just like James Bond or Indiana Jones. Having a one night stand with Black Cat after going on a romp is exactly what a character like Matt Murdock would do. That's not to say I want to see hard core sex in my comics, but I definitely don't want my superhero comics to have characters who are sexless and sterile like the Jedi Knights from the Prequel Trilogy. That would be super boring.
