<<the legal age of consent is 16 in the UK? thats preposterous! that is not moral, a child will listen to his hormones and his lust, he wont think rationally, its up to the responsible adult to prevent such behavior. freaking pedophelia man, thats just not moral! in the US, 16 is still a minor, sex with a minor is illegal.>>
i strongly disagree. i think if a 16 year old (like myself) isn't brought up to presume he's ignorant, and rather knows himself and his limits, then he can know what he should and should not do. there are plenty of 16 year olds plenty mature enough to make the decision of whether to wait or not or who to have sex with. just as there are plenty of 18+ who are completely immature and view sex in the light of a mature-ish 12 year old.
also, sex with a minor is illegal, but in America extremely circumstantial. my girlfriend is turning 18, and i'm turning 16, if we were to have sex, do you think she'd go to jail? no. you'd be surprised how circumstantial that particular page of the lawbook is.
