In the UK, you can legally have sex at the age of 16. However, you cannot rent a sexy movie until you’re 18. Why is this? If you have sex under the age of 18, should you wear a blindfold or something?
Same reason you can die for your country before you can buy a beer. No reason.
Hell, I had sex when I was 12.
Oh, you mean with someone. 
The hardware comes preinstalled.
hell Enderw23, in this country, when youre 18 you can do them all at the same time if you want to.
I do not know either. To this day, I am bewildered why nudity is not tolerated on American Television. Yet, they tolerate extreme violence and bloodshed. I would rather have my underage children see nudity on TV, not murder.
I’ve always wondered that myself - seems pretty silly when you think about it.
Anyway, I know I’d rather see nudity than violence…or commercials…or infomercials…or pretty much anything else, actually.
damn… my ex bf and me were like soooo near an illegal act… if we had met one month earlier I d have been … what would I ve been? A child seducer? He had just turned 17 and I was nearly 18. LOL and I thought smoking was the only “bad” thing we did… tztzt… you never stop to learn,…
loons
reading over this agian… I noticed that it was not illegal - 17 not 16.
It well must be to late for me…
First I post a remark in the wrong thread, now I show off my great maths skills.
Oh bugger…

BornDodgy: It doesn’t work that way. Most states have a buffer period (a year or two, usually) so that an 18 year old having sex with a 17 year old can’t be statutory rape.
In Florida, there is a buffer… kinda.
Anyone under 24 can have sex with anyone 16 or over. This allows a 16 and an 18 or 20 year old to date and have sex with no worries!
But no one can have sex with a 15 year old, that is a Felony!! This includes another 15 year old. IOW, two 15 year olds having sex with each other are both committing a serious felony!
But some wacky 23 year old man seducing a 16 year old is perfectly OK.
-Hey, I did not write these laws, don’t look at me! 
To quote George Carlin, circa 1972. " Wouldn't it be great to replace the word "Kill" with the word "Fuck". As in, " Okay, Sheriff, we're gonna fuck ya now, but we're gonna fuck ya slooooooooow".
He's a genious. I cannot imagine WHY the disparity between violence and nudity. I would also prefer to have my kids see people making love ( I'm talking about general nudity, not hard core gynecology/urology here).
Garry Trudeau covered this brilliantly in the mid-70’s, in “Doonesbury”, when the famed stats came out that showed how many thousands of “deaths” children watched on American TV by the age of 18.
CartooniverseI doubt that means much to BornDodgy considering she is British. They might have such a buffer period in Britain but the OP implies that they don’t.
In Canada, there was a huge flak about a guy challenging the constitution. He wanted to take pictures of 16 year olds naked (18 is min), and he used the argument that he could theoretically have sex with them (legal age 14), but not take pictures.
I’m guessing the reason they don’t change it is because anyone who suggests it is seen as a pervert
You say: “Hey, let’s change the law so teens can have their pictures taken naked. It makes sense.”
They hear: “I want to see some naked children!”
I am actually Austrian… but that was in Britain 
What about nude drawings?
My mom is a painter and whenever I ran out of pocket money I was modelling for her paintings… she gave me money cause I was so fidgety and wouldnt even sit still for a portrait if she didnt give me something for it hehe I was such an evil child… now I am a skint teenager… damn… where did all that money go???
Well, I’ll be the first to admit I’m an extremely repressed horny bastard, but if I had to die for my country to get some, I’d seriously rethink the slogan “be all you can be.”

Policeman sees a couple parked in a car up on Lover’s Lane. He only sees their outlines though, one’s in the front seat, one’s in the back. He goes up to the window of the car and taps on it. The guy rolls down the window.
“What are you doing?” he asks in a stern voice.
“Me, officer? Why I’m just reading a book.”
The police officer nods and looks at the female in the back. “What’s she doing?”
“Why, she’s knitting a sweater for her aunt.”
“Uh-huh,” says the officer. “And how old are you son?”
“I’m 20.”
“And what about her? How old is she?”
“Her? Well, she’ll be eighteen in about…ten minutes.”
