age of consent

I thought the age of consent was 18.

The law varies from state-to-state. In MA, it is 16 if you are under 19. If one of the partners is over 20, then the age of consent is 18. The law is really fucked up but w/e.
 
It's 18 in most states. If it's below 18, then they can only consent to having sex with someone like, 3-4 years older than they are. So it's not like a 35 year old man can bang a 17 year old, or anything.

However, some states have a legal MARRIAGE age that's below 18. . .if they're legally married to an adult with their family's permission, they can have sex.
 
As soon as a boy spunks and chicks menstruate. I was spunking tons at 11 and couldn't get a man because they said I was too young. I am still badly traumatised by it.
 
Anything much past puberty is pretty ridiculous; and anything over 15 or 16 is unrealistically unenforceable.

I reached my teens in the UK during the 70s, when the age of consent was set at the ludicrous age of 21*. I've never met any gay man who grew up during that era who actually waited 5 years longer than their straight friends before they started their sex life.

Anyway, whatever the age, it should be the same for everyone ... heteros and homos alike.


*Of course, less than ten years earlier gay sex was totally illegal, but that never stopped anyone from just getting on with.

In Cali its 18 and if the guy is 18 and the girl is 17 he could be put away for rape, even if she consents.

The courts tend to have an unofficial leniency on kids who are within a year of each other though but I've never heard of a personal example from someone.

I for one am fine with 18, ya you're not gonna stop the kids under 18 from fucking each other but it stops the highschool teachers from doing anything with their students.

I swear I gave a teacher in highschool "Stat Rape" cuz he'd check out the Freshmen girls
 
I think 17-18 is adequate... I mean I can't imagine a 16 year-old doing it with a 25 year-old for example...
Adolescence is a very sensitive period in one's life and should be simple without the affect of having a sexual relation with an adult....

In some European countries (such as Spain and Iceland if I remember correctly) the age of consent is 14!!.. that's just too harsh... 14 is practically a kid...
 
No matter where I am, I will not fool with ahyone who is under 18 and/or still in high school... even if the high school kid is 20.
 
The whole "age of consent" question is arbitrary, unenforceable in any fair and consistent manner, and rather stupid... at what age does a person have the right to make decisions about his or her own body? How can that age be the same for everyone, considering that every individual develops at a different rate?

And what difference does it make if the person(s) with whom someone shares his or her body is older or younger? What difference does it make if both partners are under eighteen or only one is? What difference if you're sixteen or eighteen, or if your partner is nineteen or thirty?

But considering the arbitrary nature of such laws, it doesn't matter whether the age of consent is eighteen or sixteen. Eighteen is when you are legally of an age to make your own decisions: you can sign contracts, you can smoke, you can have surgery, you can get married, you can join the Armed Forces, you can buy lottery tickets, you can get a job, etc., without requiring permission. So why not make decisions about sex at the same time?

I think my problem with the whole thing, though, is the idea of "statutory rape"... I mean, there's a world of difference between pedophilia and a twenty-year-old having consensual sex with a sixteen-year-old. Though the sixteen-year-old does not have the legal right to give consent, that doesn't make the twenty-year-old a criminal... by rights, it is the sixteen-year-old who has broken the law, giving consent without the right to do so. I mean, consent is consent, no matter if the individual has the legal right to give that consent; rape is rape, and there is no consent... that's what makes it rape.

I think in the final analysis, the problem is the idea that a person is not capable of making adult decisions before the age of eighteen; the person may not be legally eligible to make those decisions, but capability has nothing to do with it...some people are capable of making those decisions as soon as they hit puberty; some people are incapable of making those decisions well into middle age.

If our laws took into account capability, and determining capability, rather than equating it with arbitrary eligibility, there would be a lot less injustice involved in the issue.
 
I don't think it should be lowered from 16. Speaking broadly, but not from a gay perspective, but rather about all children.

Firstly, from the exploitation point of view. Childen under this age should be protected from the attentions of older more experienced adults, who take an unusual interest in more vulnerable people in our society.

Secondly, whatever children do, they rarely think of consequences, like becoming a parent. Responsibility maybe something a child under 16 is less well equipped with compared to say and 18 year old, or someone older. Even with the potential baby's grandparents, there is still the resentment factor of having to raise a child and missing out on their own childhood.

As gay folks don't have the complication of having offspring, I still say having an age of consent is worthwhile. It gives a person to develop mentally and mature so they can make better informed decisions about what to do with their lives.
 
I had to look up the age of concent in Canada. It used to be 14 for girls and 16 for boys now its.

The Tackling Violent Crime Act raises the legal age of sexual consent in Canada to 16 from 14, the first time it has been raised since 1892.

But the law includes a "close-in-age exception," meaning 14- and 15-year-olds can have sex with someone who is less than five years older.

The Tories said they raised the age, in part, to deal with internet predators. The new law puts Canada's age of consent in line with those in Britain, Australia and most of the United States.

I first had sex at 17 knowing legally I should wait til I was 21, but straights could be married with more than one kid before it was even legal for me.
