Age of consent where you live


I've noticed it varies a lot,and I've also noticed that a lot of people don't actually know. This comes from another post where someone refers to an actress being 21 and finally legal in the US,which I don't think is the case anywhere here. Very curious about other countries. So folks,how old do you have to be to get down and dirty where you live?

reply

15.

reply

Where do you live? That's pretty young to US standards.

reply

16 for most US states

Romania

you answered that question too quickly croft. lol

reply

Based on personal experience,sir.

reply

It is 16 in Canada.

reply

We also have the "close-in-age exception" which allows for 14-15 yr olds to be active with someone less than 5 years older and who isn't in a position of trust.

reply

The age of consent here in the Netherlands is 16.

reply

If you don't know, she's too young! No offense, but kind of a creepy question. I've never dated anyone that wasn't + - a few years.

reply

Why is it a creepy question?

reply

how old are you ??

reply

I'm 41, happily married and wouldn't have sex with anyone under 25 even if I wasn't married. The question,as said in my original post,was more to find out if people actually knew what the law said in their area,and furthermore stemmed from another post on these boards. I'm sensing a lot of feigned indignation at an innocuous question,just because people want something salacious to talk about. Let's all try and be adults for Pete's sake.

Don't worry about MMC,he's a self confessed agitator.He enjoys getting a rise out of people.
In other words a troll.
I don't believe many here take him seriously,he's more like a disease carrying mosquito,best slapped away quickly.

reply

You mean his groveling isn't going to dissuade your opinion of him ? 😁

reply

He's grovelling? What have I missed?

reply

Seriously ? You've never noticed his sickening cajolery when he's not ranting ?

reply

Haha! Yes.
He is a bit Jekyll and Hyde.

reply


I don't know, but that's kind of a creepy question, burk.


😎

reply

I'm curious why you think it's creepy?

reply


Because it just is. Emotions are subjective. Why are you asking the question?


😎

reply

Because it just is?? That's the answer my 4 year old gives. It sounds like you don't have a reason to feel it's "creepy",but decided to make something of nothing.

reply


Okay, I was trying to be nice, but if you must know, it's creepy because it makes it sound like you or someone else who wants this information, is a pedophile. It's EXTREMELY creepy, if you must know!


😎

reply

Wouldn't a pedophile care less what the age of consent was? Also,read the OP, it clearly says what inspired the question. Your reply seemed silly and reactionary, I'm really not trying to be an ass. I've seen enough of your posts to feel this is something you might call someone else out for, because so many people on these boards are over reactionaries looking for something to jump on for no reason. I don't usually see that out of you.

reply


It still makes you sound like a creepy pedophile. And this response makes me feel that even stronger.


😎

reply

If something as innocent as someone asking about a law makes you think of pedophilia,then perhaps you have your own issues to work out.Also,I think you should learn the definition of pedophile,since your mind goes there so quickly, because it refers to someone interested in prepubescent children. That's nothing near the age of consent in ANY country.

reply


That question is by no means innocent. You're obviously are not willing to admit it, but it does make you sound like a pedophile. I'm not saying you are one, but you sure sound like one.


😎

reply

Again,the fact that your mind strays to that after someone asks about a law tied to another post,says a lot more about you than it does me. And again,you clearly don't understand the definition of the word with which you seem to be obsessed. Your mental fixation and false inference on this is considerably creepier than my post.

reply


This is not about me,it's about your creepy questioni. You still sound like a pedophile.


😎

reply

You can keep saying it,but the more you protest the more it is obvious that I have touched a nerve. Seriously,you might want to think about why your mind keeps straying to pedophilia. It isn't good for you to think about it so much from an innocuous conversation.

reply


And the more you deny it, the more I think I've touched a nerve. At first you just sounded creepy, and I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. But the more you protest it, the more it makes you sound like a pedophile. And it's really not good for you to be so fascinated by such a creepy question.


😎

reply

So now your just copying my words? You sure showed me. Again,just so it's clear in your sick head,you are the first one to even broach the subject of pedophilia. It's all on you bro.

reply


But it was you who came up with an obvious Pedophile's question.


😎

reply

Again,that you think the question implies that,says so much about what's wrong with you.

reply


Oh why don't you just go away and leave me alone, you pervert.


😎

reply

You replied to my post. It got you excited in a way it was never intended. I can't help what goes through other peoples mind.

reply


I was not excited, you dumb ass. You would think that, you perv!
I was creeped out. Now i'm getting nauseous. This conversation can serve no further useful purpose, so I'm out.

And meanwhile, you might want to get professional help before you act upon your pedophile fantasies, if you have not already. And God help the children in your neighborhood.

Goodbye and have a terrible life, you pervert!


😎

reply

This guy^: Says the post bothers him so much,that not only does he click on it,but also replies and continues to respond a dozen times. So creeped out he can't stop talking about it,lol. Now you take it beyond the board and talk about neighborhood kids?! It's scary how much you think about this. I just wanted to know if people were familiar with their local laws,now you've turned it into something you can fap too. What is wrong with you. Even after you say to leave you alone ( on my post) you keep talking about it. It's called compulsion,and it's a sickness.

reply

Congrats ! You just discovered the extremely self-righteous lunacy of mmc2.

reply

Yeah, I kinda figured that out about 10 posts ago,but decided to screw with him for a while.

reply

Good for you but I gotta say you didn't get an accurate sense of him from his posting history. Or was that part of the screwing with ?

reply

I haven't personally dealt with him before,so it was an educational experience.

reply

You turned the tables on that creep beautifully.

reply

You're the one who comes across as creepy, MovieMan. Don't you dare accuse other of being pedophiles!

Most people in the US think it's 18, because of Hollywood. Takes a few seconds to google, then click wikipedia.

reply

Dead on ! He's got to have some serious skeletons in his closet to be so constantly vicious, self-righteous and accusing .

reply

16 across Canada.

reply

16 in the UK for sexual intercourse.
16 to get married but only with parental consent,18 without.
18 for smoking and drinking alcohol.
16 to buy a lottery ticket but 18 to gamble in a casino or on a gaming machine.
18 to vote.
Between 10-17 you can be held as criminally responsible and tried in court as a minor but at 18 you'd be tried as an adult.

reply

18 in California, USA.
There are some 'limited' lower ages of consent if BOTH people are under 18 but over 16 (I think), but at 18, it is unlimited. i.e. a 30 year old can date an 18 year old but cannot date a 16 year old, but a 17 year old can date a 16 year old.

Federal law is 16
State law (in my state) is 18
Each state can set their own age, as the age of consent has ranged from 10 to 18.
I don't know what state sets the age at 10 but that is some sick shit right there. I bet it is Utah. (without googling, just my guess)

reply

Hey you, welcome back.

reply

Hiya, jack.
Holidays get hectic.

reply

Please tell me your joking about a state having it at 10. Who would ever sign off on that?

reply

I dunno that is what the google results said! That sentence was copy/pasted. I hope it was something in the distant past because EEW.

Also, I think every state has an exception for spouses, so that if a couple gets married under 18 (or under 16) in some state or country that allows that, then they can travel to California and sleep together legally. But, they could not get married here under 18. And traveling across state lines to marry a minor is also illegal.

reply

Popcorn, I think it's the great state of Pedophilia, which voted for Trump.

reply

yeah they are all for states rights when it comes to fucking little kids and discriminating against gay people, but then they are against states rights when it comes to smoking legal weed.
INNNNteresting!
fuck you jeff sessions, hands off my bong
