What is up with Europe's low age of consent for sex?

Yeah and normal, healthy expressions of female sexuality are banned from being filmed and sold in the UK. I'd rather take the L on the stupid, fucking chocolate toys.



Not to mention that that is not a law being enforced but a voluntary, industry rating system that no company or organization is legally required to abide by. Unlike the UK's film ratings which are enforced and regulated by their government. Goddamn these threads always bring out the most ignorant mother fuckers I swear to God.

Whow, I did not know you would get angry about it. I was just trying to say that I find it weird that some games are pegi 18+, nothing more.

What i dont understand as a non us citizen is why two 15 year olds can be treated as sex offenders for having sex in the states..

I don't think you understand the laws at all, then.

The consent laws are there to prevent people over aoc from having sex with people under aoc, not the other way around.
 
That seems waaaaay too low. An adult legally being able to hook up with a 13 year old is disturbing.

16 seems appropriate.

Adults can? If it was dropped to 13 in US states, people above 18 can't have sex with minors. It's just when minors can start having sex with other minors.
 
It should be 21 worldwide.

What a waste of eggs.

this is a joke

16 is perfection. The percentage of girls who go through puberty before and after that are in the low, and socially at least 16 y/os can start work. The ones that aren't mature or "ready" also don't have to.
 
I nelieve it was during a skit by David Cross that he said "age of consent is bullshit, they're all doing it anyway. Why does some pimply teenager get to have a go for a few awkward minutes, I'm a man with skills dammit"

But seriously I have no idea.

That's creepy as fuck holy
 
It's literally just the checkpoint after which kids in the U.S. can consider themselves independent adults, in legal terms, educational terms, and in sexual terms. It just makes sense to pair all these things together, even though those relations may be somewhat arbitrary.
 
Is there an origin to this joke? Is it from a game or show?

I think his particular wording refrences a particular dragon character in Fire Emblem: Awakening, (Nowi, she specifically states she's over 1000 after people keep calling her a child), but this kind of thing is pretty common in many games/anime like that.
 
Age of Consent to be raised to 30 in GromphLand!

I think, everyone should know when is he/she ready.

The age of consent now is higher because of the life expectation.

The medieval laws don't work anymore :)

And No! In GomphLand is 16+
 
Why would you check that? That just seems kind of weird to just be something you're sitting at your desk one day and say "Hmm, I woder what the age of consent in Japan is?"

There are many professions where it's important to know that kind of information.

Not for you to be involved in it, but so that you know what to report and what to do in particular circumstances.

Or something.
 
Shouldn't many of those states have asterisks? I mean there are several states that 16 is consensual within a certain range, but not across the board. At least as I understand it.

That's correct. For instance Hawaii is 16, but only 14 if the other person is less than five years older.
 
Since an 80 year old is 5 times older than a 16 year old, does that mean that he/she is 5 times more able to give consent? Can someone reach a level of such consentfulness that they transcend consent itself?
 
huh, if the age of consent for sex is 16 in majority of places, why does most porn sites have 18+ category and not 16?

I can't believe I'm answering this but basically it's because the age of majority is 18+ pretty much worldwide. That's what determines what is child pornography and what isn't.

You might want to read up on the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child.
 
aren't most age of consents just leftovers from when life expectancy was 50 tops

Not entirely.

Women reach physical maturity around 16. Men reach physical maturity around 18. They known this for a while and many of the laws about consent were put into places.

Now the issues to this arise from the fact that we reach sexual maturity around 12-13(When we become sexually activate) and emotionally maturity won't happen till to many years after we physically mature. Women also mature faster than men as shown hence the age difference in most relationships.
 
It depends what state you are in:

I think the age got lowered to 16 in New Mexico, at least that's what two homeland security investigators told me and my boyfriend when they talked to us after my boyfriend's parents called them saying I was "a pedophile and a threat to their son". (Boyfriend was 17, I was 21, we both consented to our relationship and we both understood the laws regarding sex).

And before others might do the same, I did my best to make sure our relationship abide to the laws of New Mexico because I genuinely love him and can wait. He was only 16 when we started dating.
