In the UK, 16 is the age of consent. It seems to work fairly well as a system here, it doesn't seem to have increased rates of teenage pregnancy above increases seen in the US. The bottom line is, if kids wanna have sex, nobody's going to be able to stop them without locking them in their bedrooms day and night. I have several friends who first had sex at 15 and lower. Age of consent won't stop anybody. I believe that in Spain, the age of consent is 13 (basically, as soon as they are physically able).
What should the age of consent be?
