    Like most people, I doubt she has much to say. On the one hand, its consentual. On the other, having sex when your a minor can be dangerous. What's there to talk about?

    Legal implications
    Social implications
    Medical implications

    I don't ask questions that have no controversy.

    If it's love and both parties are willing, and over the age of reason(IMO 16) I don't see a problem.(But i can be HORRIBLY WRONG.)

    Having an age of consent like we do in America makes no sense. It should be 17, or within three years, so that a 14 year old could give consent to a 17 year old, a 15 to 18, 16 to 19, etc.

    But if you are 17 and you are having sex with someone who is younger than 16 you are a loser.

    My state, Arizona, is one of the few places where an 18 year old will be arrested for having sex with a 17 year old. Also, did you know that the age of consent in Vatican City is 12?

    Well it's a matter of perspective. If you're a hormone filled, sex-craving teenager she's pretty good.

    @tito that does not surprise me one bit

    Here in Sweden the legal age for having sex is 15, and the highest legal age difference for minors is 15-18, if you're above 18 you cannot have sex with anyone below 18.

    I think it works fine and I don't really have a very strong opinion about it, there isn't much to say about it.

    This is one of the problems with many of the age of consent in countries... The sexual urges more often than not start occuring way before the age of consent is actually reached. Consequently, some people [alot, if you believe many sources] give in to their desires before the age of consent is reached and thus they end up in violation of the law.

    Its a social taboo and we will allways be against it, however if the child was willing to sleep with a 30 year old i say she should be punished as well as the adult, tough not as harsh.

    But hey at the same token the Greeks i heard love it.

    In my state the age of consent is 16. Most people, even here, assume that it is 18. Still then you can participate in sexual activities as long as the other person is within 4 years age range above you (12 year old and 16 year old. OK)

    Maybe. But in other cultures it is a-ok and the U.S. is a melting pot, no? And even other nations are getting more and more minorities that can sway opinion. Remember that the taboo is mainly rooted back in religion, which does not have the sway that it used to have thanks to the introduction of secularism. With this, you could be seeing a shift in public opinion in your country. Especially since [not accusing your people] some people are more succeptable to following pleasure rather than tradition.

    Why? Isn't love love?

    Score one for tradition.
