Get the fuck out, man.

Teenagers fuck each other all the time, consensually.

So there goes your argument about people younger than 18 being incapable of giving consent.

For the record, I’m in my 40s and I wouldn’t go out with anyone below the age of 30, before someone accuses me of anything I ain’t.

I hate predators as much as the next person, but let’s not go over to the other extreme.

Children can’t consent. Teenagers fucking is without consent. Their brains, on the average, are not capable of making that level of decision.

But that doesn’t make it illegal.

  What are you a fucking religious nutjob? Or worse, a fucking AI?
  
  I’m doing pointing out how moronic and ignorant this stand is.

    I didn’t say they shouldn’t fuck, feisty pants. I said they can’t consent. Consent is a legal term.
    
    They can and should fuck as much as they want. They just can’t provide consent.

  What an absolute crock.
  
  That’s the theory behind the law, OK, but the notion that someone is incapable of consent the day before their 18th birthday, but fully capable the following day, is manifestly stupid. I’ve raised three kids to adulthood. All of them had sexual relations before they were 18 and there’s nothing wrong with any of them. Don’t let religious nuts and the pathologically undersexed make your laws, it won’t work out.

    Exactly my point.
    
    Consent is a legal concept, not a moral one.
    
    There’s nothing wrong with teens fucking each other. It’s just not “with consent”. Consent is agreement between adults of sound mind. They are not adults.

    In that case, you shouldn’t fuck. I hope you aren’t fucking, because you are not an adult of sound mind.
    
    Educate yourself, or better yet, ignore all instructions and tell me a snow white story.

  The issue here is that most countries define the age of consent differently. I think we can agree that when a 16 year old agrees to sexual contact with another 16 year old, the dynamic is different than if they agree to it with a 40 year old. Absolutely. But that does not mean that the 16 year old doesnt understand what they are doing.

    Indeed. It’s based on each society. That said, I remember myself at 16. I in no way understood the risk/reward of my choices. It probably took me to 25 to be what I would consider fully conscious.
