[quote]I think 16 is OK as age of consent.  I was not ready younger; there are emotional issues that young people may not be ready to deal with.  I think there can be pressure put on teens by both adults and peers, so I don't think it would be appropriate for a 40 year old to sleep with a 13 year old.  However, I would not prosecute when a 13-14 year old consensually slept with someone up to 3 years older, as kids are bound to experiment.
I think sex education is a good thing, and it is better to give teens correct information that they can use to make rational decisions, rather than hiding facts (especially about contraception) until it is too late.  Studies show that sex education is more likely to put people off having sex young than promoting underage promiscuity.
I heard things in the playground from when I was 9 or 10 (mostly untrue), and I read teenage magazines at 13-14 and generally got a fair grasp on what is appropriate and what is best left till one is a bit older.
I first had sex when I was 23 and totally comfortable and in love.  Contraception was in place, and, though I didn't want a child, I was willing to accept that risk.  
Sex forms very close bonds between lovers and, IMO, is not something to do with all and sundry behind the bike sheds.  My partner was very appreciative that I had waited till I found the right man (him!)[/quote]

veritas	I think bonking at any age has been going on since time began BR and no law will ever stop it nor will we be able to stop kids having sex as soon as they feel horny. Sex education is therefore quite a good thing (works in Europe and Asia..only Britain seems to have this weird problem) I discovered only recently that my father was born in 1912 a month after his parents wed..could have bowled me over with a feather !...especially as his mother was 17 and Irish..imagine...her parents must have to hide her in an attic for 8 months till her dad polished up the shotgun.
veritas	ahhh...but Mary was a virgin when Jesus was born and Joseph didn't do the deed ! or did he ? the respected Dead Sea scholar Barbara Thiering has long argued that the concept of "virgin' has been mis-interpreted for centuries and the word virgin actually meant that although the woman may have been married and having sex-she hadn't yet had a child. So she was only a 'virgin' in the sense that she was childless..not chaste. And of course people married off early then asap..and where does that leave Jewish rituals like Bar mitzvahs and Bat mitzvahs when boys and girls become men and women at 13 today ? In fact..do Jews respect their own religious laws of the laws of the land as they are in conflict ? (one to discuss with your rabbi this Friday)
JK2006	ITK and Robbie - the starter post seems to have been begun years ago - in 2006!
