  • I think 16 is a good age for people to decide and as dom180 says, in the UK that's the age of consent (I live there too) and it does seem to work rather well. That's just my view though.

    • So a middle aged man (let's say Hugh Grant) can have sex with a 16 year old girl? Or a 16 year old boy?

      • Actually in my country, yes. It's perfectly legal.

        • As in some states in the US too.

          In Virginia parental consent is required between the ages of 16 to 18.

          I knew one girl who was 16 and dating a 19 (or 20) year old. Her step father called the cops on the older boy but.... her natural father had legal custody and had given permission.

          Therefore no matter how mad her step-daddy was... he had no legal say in it, and the girl continued to sleep with her boyfriend unhampered by the law.
