EDITED again to add content. So what do you think about illegal relationships, ie Laila's situation of the age difference? What do you think of the age of consent in America? What about other countries? www.ageofconsent.com/ageofconsent.htm

You could surely call someone 10 years older than you your boyfriend, but if you're not sleeping with him, it's fine and dandy. I don't know what I think about that. I guess that there's reasons for it, but I don't know how much I agree with the idea that any sex before a certain age can hold consequences with the law. You can have consentual sex before you turn a certain age, I don't see why everyone who does should be breaking some sort of law. Ehhh.

I'll just delete all except this post.
Update- this was a page of spammy-ness where we renamed Laila's malefriend Jesus. Now discuss the actual topic.

Right, for instance, the age of consent in California is 18. I'm pretty sure you can easily consent before that, even to *gasp* a legal person.
I think the laws are necessary though, because an 8 year old can't always consent to a 40 year old, you know?
I only have to be 14, for consent of any type of sex. Burn.

I so want to live in Canada. (Wow, that didn't come out the way I wanted it to. Uhm. I'm moving me and my boyfriend to Canada. There.)
Guess what? I'm 15, I have a 19 year old boyfriend, I've consented to sex. Arrest me, fast. I say they at least lower the age of consent, and make some...different law about sex with "legal" people. I mean, it's wrong to an extent, I *guess* you could say, but 4 years as in my case really isn't that big of an age gap.

Nah, I don't see a thing wrong with your relationship, though you two should move on up to Canada. 4 years to me is fine, it's the 40 and 50 year age difference with a child that makes me wonder.

40 and 50 year differences just look like attention scams (media coverage, anyone?), or scams for money once the older person dies. That's sickening. But if you're over 18 and decide you want to sleep with a 68 year old, that's fine. Just don't do it when you're 17. That's what doesn't make sense to me.

Exactly my thoughts. You can't consent on this this day, but you'll be mature enough the day after. Go figure.

I only have to be 14, for consent of any type of sex. thats true, although if the person is more than three years older, consent is no longer, and the older person can be charged with sexual assault.
