i think 15 or 16 is about right.
The thing is, kids at that age aren't having sex to get pregnant. Although unplanned pregnancies are common, you'll see that it's not the result of most sexual encounters. In fact, most sex doesn't have any negative consequences because people are smart--or lucky-- about it. That's whyI endorse 16 years: kids are going to screw anyways, so why not make legal, and thus overt? Cybargs makes a good point about education, too.JohnG@lt wrote:
Really? Why is 16 a good age of consent? If a 16 year old gets pregnant are they capable of caring for a child? No. The whole wait for marriage thing is one thing that the religious people got right. Their problem is they encased it as a moral instead of being able to explain it rationally.TSI wrote:
Canada's 16 (18 for anal--wtf?)
France is 15, not that it matters, really.
I see 16 as a good age of consent. Of course, that would be with a max of a three-year gap between partners until they're both 18. Simply put, I know way too many 17/18 year-olds abusing 13/14/15s. Quite sad, really.
Then there's my 30-year old mate who screws 18 yea olds, but they're adults...meh.
What is this biggest guarantee of having a shitty life and living either on public assistance or poor? It's not being born stupid, or lazy, or anything else, it's having a child too early in life. Our modern society has disconnected the pleasures of sex from the fact that it is the form of procreation for humans and we're paying the repercussions now. There shouldn't be any such thing as 'casual sex', it's a fucking oxymoron. No birth control is 100% and the end result of sex is anything BUT casual.
I like pie.
So if I had sex with a 13 year old and I was 17, she'd get arrested not me? Awesome!Cybargs wrote:

There is actually a serious cultural issue in Japan with pedophilia, many seem to think that it's either fine or not that bad.
The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

It took a little to find, but here is part of a BBC Documentary on Japanese sex culture:
There might be a nudity/implied sex.. but since it's to illustrate a point, it should be ok for the forum.
I believe there are more parts of the doco on youtube, if you are interested.
But yeah, this is rather fucked up.
