The age of consent in Germany is 14 and that's typical, internationally.

I feel like Americans ranting about "underage 21 year-olds" and capital punishment for men who have had sex with teenagers have completely dominated the online conversation.
The focus should be on chastity.
I think the preoccupation with age is because most people are much older and sleeping with people who are much older, so they can feel virtuous about it, without it effecting their own rampant fornicating and adultery.
I wonder if there has ever been a time when there was a healthy focus on chastity as opposed to a Victorian era snobbery. Though almost anytime before the advent of modern birth-control was chaste by comparison.
I'd like to take this time to point out that birth-control is a raging lie. It has a failure rate, and any failure rate at all will still result in a significant number of pregnancies. When you multiply the lower likelihood of pregnancy by a much high occurrence, that is what you get.
Abortion exists in the west to close the loop on the lie that sex and childbearing are disconnected.
The laws were mostly created to protect inherited property, I suspect. So, a topic for the wealthy.
Western sensibilities conflate biological adulthood and legal adulthood
I'm happy with 18 being the age of consent in my country, giving ample space for physical puberty to set by that time.
It annoys me how scientific materialists will say "trust the science" but think someone checking out a post-pubescent 16/17 yr old is a "pedo"
Aren't y'all the ones who believe in Darwinism? Sexual maturity, development of primary and secondary sexual traits, mean that its evolutionarily okay to think they're attractive.
(I say "you" in the general sense, not towards you)
I feel like using criminal law to go after someone for having sex with teenagers (all the way up to 21!) is overkill. Nobody actually cares that much.
Especially as some states don't even have Romeo and Juliet laws. Romeo wasn't a pervert.
I see your point and I agree, the age of consent laws are a social pathology that need reform
(talking about anything exceeding biological sexual maturity)
One of the problems, people are infantilized throughout young adulthood. Somehow a 25yr old cannot make their own decisions.
This wouldn't be a problem if Courting as a practice came back, only being presented to a woman with a familial third party in the room. Not having sexual relations until marriage. Actually getting married within the Church.
I'm of the perspective that Christians are not married unless its through the church.
So called "Christians" get married through a Las Vegas Drive Thru, nope. Not married.
18 in the usa.
I know, in many States.
So draconian that it reeks of selective punishment, since so many girls are actually having sex earlier.
no rule should dictate it, it should be when the human craves it... for me it was 11, but i may have been messed up by the influence of my father on my sister, but that was when the actual capacity started
I don't think anyone should be having sex outside of marriage.
i agree, and yet here we are an 11 year old is not allowed to earn an income either
I'm just against criminalizing sexual misbehavior, even if I find it repugnant, unless it involves an actual child.
And maybe animals, but even there, I don't know.
I tend to be against making anything criminal unless I'd help arrest someone over it. That's a very high bar.
oh don't get me started on drug monopolies... my life is at least 30% less good when i am without treatment... but not that the drug is the cure, the worse is the "food regulations" and the food pyramid and the toxic grain proteins and the A1 protein and all that other toxic shit that has polluted the food supply
i just had a "red angus rib eye" tonight and it tasted only slightly better than domestic veal
my first time was 16, very nearly 15
The US mean is 16, I think. But a lot start earlier.
The law and the practice are wide apart.
the only fog around the whole matter is the slimebag pedos in our neighbourhoods deceiving and kidnapping and manipulating to keep their sickness in the shadow
if these people were immediately killed when the evidence was consensus to the people who around it and everyone else said "this animal was always sus to me" they should be first locked away once all the evidence is presented, never ever let out, or allowed any human company at all
ok, i meant locked up permanently
but back in the old days a man probably would have broken their neck on the spot
hell, it'd be worth going down for murder to stop that shit
if i saw it happening in front of me i'd be plotting an execution for sure
Try to stop thinking about it. It'll drive you nuts.
it happened in my house, i think that makes it hard to forget about
My advice is still good.
this is why i'm so passionately hostile to the system, and then the school system fucked with me as well
as you observed, precocious, i could see what was going on before most late 20s people get it, people commented on it frequently to my mother

In all states its 18
Canada and most of the States it's 16.
The laws here are weird. Plus here in the states, rape doesn't get you that much jail time as drugs.
California wants to drop to 14 13 so they can rape little girls
I don't think they're after the girls. 😏
They after the young boys and girls here the richy rich they love young girls and boys. Politicians iver here love that them sick bastards. Look up cases from California and Florida. They wanna make so if they get caught ha ing sex with a 12 year old they dont wanna go to jail. Its the richy rich ppl that are sick because they have money and thi k they can just have sex with any human because they rich well thats how it is in the USA
I meant, it's California. So, they mostly want the boys, not the girls.
D.C. and New York is where they want the girls.
Yeah, California is all about LGBTQIAA+, of course they want the boys. Even the Trans-Boys.
If boys don't grow up to become Men, who will protect the Women? As much as we need good Women in the world, we need good Men just as much.
