I'd go with 15 or 16. I wouldn't give the side-eye to anyone saying 14, but below that, you're probably a little creepy. I'd go with 18 if there were laws protecting two people close in age having sex before then so some crazy/abusive parent couldn't maliciously prosecute their kid's girlfriend or boyfriend.

Why should there be a retard carve-out? Two sub-eighteen year olds are the least likely to be able to support a kid.

It’s weird how the pressing factors for so many people are subjective and aesthetic instead of practical.

At 14, most girls are as tall as they’re going to get, but breast development can continue on into your 20’s, so what, do you want a bunch of developmentally stunted formula babies running around?

I think 18 is fine and you would have to have some groundbreaking shit to change it.
 
I grew up in Bongland and sixteen worked fine during my teenage years. Seems an okay compromise between the 18 of USA/Turkey and the 14/15 of half the European continent.
 
It depends on both ages, not just one.

In the UK, most council estate sluts get finger banged at 12 and shagged at 13. However, the fingerbangerer and shagger are also 12 and 13. Contrast that with a 30 year old smashing in the back doors of a 15 year old and it's a different story entirely.
 
Twitter users when they find out I'm dating a 17 year old and accuse me of LITERALLY pedophilia!!!!

This man wants to fuck a 14 year old.
 
I'd say 16 seems to be good. Hell when I was 16 I was dating a senior in high school who was 18. Without those laws, she could have been charged with statutory rape which is retarded. If you trust a kid enough to be able to drive a one ton hunk of metal and plastic over 70 miles an hour on a major high way, I think you should trust that kid to be smart when it comes to what they do with their own genitals.

Just maintain judicial discretion instead of expecting dysfunctional government to administer whole ass actuarial tables of consent
 
18, but with well-written laws to prevent silly situations. It should be part of laws written to protect children from other children (e.g. 10 to 12 year olds should probably be in an entirely separate category to 13-15 year olds) and to protect children from adults (e.g. 17 year olds and 19 year olds are probably as far apart as the law ought to permit).
I do think the law ought to recognize the primacy of marriage (one man and one woman for life) but should extend all legal protections to the participants, even if they relax the age limits (e.g. a 17 year old marrying a 25 year old).

Get married you degenerates. Anything else is haram. When guys at work talk about sluts they've banged, I shake my head. I didn't have sex through high school, still waiting to get married. If i can, any one can. That's my final answer.
 
Age of consent set to 18 with romeo & juliet clauses for anyone younger. If two teenagers that are close in age (within ~2-3 years) hook up, that should be legal. Maybe add some special protections for people who are 13 and younger so that they don't get taken advantage of by 15/16 year olds. Seems to be the most reasonable way to handle it.
 
Why would you put literally any number below 16 there? What the FUCK?
Tbh I am confused by what AOC is. I think here it means consent in general, to anyone of equal or older age? Then I would question anyone saying anything less than 18 (I would put it the same as voting age in general, so 16 is questionable for me)

I agree with this below. The idea that no one younger than 18 will have sex is dumb. So put a two years rule for 17-15, then a 1 year rule for 12-14. Anything below that you probably need to check the adults around these kids and where they learned what they are doing...

AOC does not mean I will stop considering creepy af anyone who has sex with people who are closer in age to their kids than to themselves.
