Are those maps comparing like for like?
I thought some countries with low age limits only had them for like aged people, i.e. 14 year olds can have sex with each other, but are not legally available to older people. This is not so unreasonable.
Flipping hell, never had a clue about this!
I didn't even know there was a law in the UK till the fittest girl in my class turned 16 and she told me and my mate she was finally legal, but we weren't haha, the bitch.
Flaming nora 13 in spain, clearly immoral I find it strange that this is allowed given how the EU wants parity on many things this is outrageous
Surely the law is there because 13, 14, 15 year olds etc aren't able to make such decisions, in which case to have sex at 14 even with another 14 year old is no better or worse.
So at the age of 15 your not able to make such decisions, but suddenly one year later you are magically able? The problem is that the rule must be fit to the whole population. There are people at the ages of 13, 14 and 15 that are perfectly capable of making such decisions, just as there are people at the ages of 16, 17 and 18 who really aren't.
Is it bad of me to suggest you read the Romeo and Juliet rule. 8-[
You could say that at any stage with anything. Of course some people won't be fit to make that decision at 16 and some will be at 12. 16 is, in my opinion, a good medium...and that's share by many countries.
What would you think of your son or daughter having sex at 14 or 15?
I'd be perfectly happy with my son having sex at 14 or 15.
I don't think i'd be happy with my daughter having sex ever.
Which is odd, but honest.
Playing devils advocate..
Why is it 'clearly immoral'?
13 is just as arbitrary as 16 on deciding a moral legal age of consent.
Countries with an even higher age of consent then us probably think that we are immoral.

now i'm not passing judgement or stating an opinion on whats acceptable or deplorable, but, the system is arbitrary, people do not develop physically or mentally on a set timetable, the morality of an act cannot be decided solely on how many days have passed in a certain life
I imagine because the body hasn't fully developed sexually?
What a strange question
Do you know what puberty is?
