Licking County is just to the north of me. I forget how funny the name is because I’m so used to it, while I still point at laugh at “Big Bone Lick State Park.” ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > Licking County is just to the north of me. I forget how funny the name is because I’m so used to it, while I still point at laugh at “Big Bone Lick State Park.” As a Columbus native, I completely agree. I had a roommate in college from Cincinnati who was a geology student. She took a lot of trips down to Big Bone Lick, and the other meaning never occurred to her until I mentioned something about it. ---

Age of consent varies by state. It appears to be 16 in Ohio, but the difference in age is what got him in trouble. ---

Ha, so sexual majority,as defined in the States, doesnt amount to shit, if you’re using it to have sex with an adult? Didnt know that. Kind of defeats the concept of having a sexual majority in the first place (I get it it’s to allow sex between minors, still I’m not sure that that very specific take on sexual majority is prevalent outside of the Unied States). ---

> [@Capitaine\_Zombie](#): > > Ha, so sexual majority,as defined in the States, doesnt amount to shit, if you’re using it to have sex with an adult? No, as noted it varies from state to state ( so as defined in some states yes, in other no ). In this particular case, as with certain others, it perhaps useful to think of the United States as functioning more like the EU - the law can change as soon as you cross a state border. In the past it was the same, for example, for the consumption of alcohol, though federal arm-twisting via disbursement of highway funding has long since leveled that playing field. But technically this is in the purview of the individual state governments to regulate, not the federal government. ---
