18, i mean i feel your most mature and responsible for your actions by that age. Its not so easy to pressure them into something they dont want to do. At 16 most my friends were having sex with whoever and regretting it later, usually because they were having their first experience with drugs and alcohol.
I think the age of consent should be raised to 20 (along with the legal drinking and driving age). 18 y. olds are still like kids in my opinion, they've literally just graduated high school and are still vulnerable. It's sad that sometimes older adults take advantage of them. 12 and 14 are shocking and gross...

Something I think is concerning is if you're 16 I feel like many can take advantage of that like an older man preying on young and naive 16 year old girls who just because it's legal can get involved with them. That's not to say it doesn't happen to 18 year olds either but I think those 2 years can really make a difference. I know people are still going to have sex much younger than that so I think the only thing we can do is really educate the youth about sex and all the consequences that can come from it and properly because I know they didn't teach me anything when I was in school
Should be like the rest of education. Must pass a quiz demonstrating awareness of subject matter; soon as you're fully aware what you're getting into it's your choice. But if I were to put an age, anything post-puberty. Not like there's a magical difference the instant someone goes from 17 to 18.
18. Because the government doesn’t get to control your personal life like you’re a child if you’re not legally a child. If you want higher then move up the age of adulthood.
I think 18+ is good age for consent because when turn 18 years old will get freedom and do whatever want to do so do need to ask their parents permission. 💯
I think 18 is the best age for consent because when you turn 18, most get more freedom and do not need parent permission to do things such as sex.

As a young adult I was in the dark for a long time when I had sex for the first time when I was 19. Reason is that he was my first boyfriend and secondly he wasn’t the one. 19 could be too early for some 🤷🏻♀️
@demonics im not a rapist and im native from Mexico but oviously even Mexicans are not truly full mexicans im jus saying ok. probably because im mexican i know where they might be a lot of ignorance and killings, lynchings, raping etcetera and thats in the deep uncharted places like in Chiapas, Oaxaca etcetera
@IIGrifterSixII LOL who do you think 'services' the cartels? Who do you think pimps them to Americans who go down there for some 'fun?' People get saltyyyyyyyy when their delicate Buzzfeed world view gets shattered.
In many places the specify a 4 year age gap. So your right perhaps in this case it doesn't apply. My point is an aribtary number like if your 17 and 11 months its c ool but at 18 you're an offender. Set the age consent to a number that can be considered socially conscious. My orignal post called for 14 because hear in the US you can be tried as an adult and sent to life in prison at 14 . If you are deemed mentally competent enough to serve life, why can't you choose to have sex and with whom. Many european countries allow gender transition at super young ages which in my opinion cutting off a pecker is more traumatic , irreverable and life altering than getting banged which is what the body was designed to do. or giving a 15 yo a car and trusting them not to kill people while changing the radio, doing their make up or impressing their friends. Additionally this convo is very GYNO centric because a 14 yo - 16 yo boy choosing to have sex would be looked on differently. Now you might say 14 is too young maybe to you it should be 16 or 18 .. So long as were congruent its cool. Stop letting them drive and sending em to jail
The legal age is 16 where I live 18 to vote and to drink 16 year olds are also legally allowed to leave home and if they do and their family calls the Police reporting a missing person and the Police do find them the Police while they can tell the family if they are ok or not they legally cannot reveal to the family the location of where their child is
@LonewolfMeme Australia there are some states where age of consent is 17 but where I live it is 16 I found out out about kids being allowed to leave home legally when they are 16 in the state I live by watching this tv show the girls family reported her missing the police located her but they legally could not tell the family where she was even though she was staying with her 26 year old boyfriend
@LonewolfMeme we have some crazy messed up laws here my sister couldn't even have a child who was 13 at the time charged with damaging her car to the point all the windows were smashed she had massive dents in the bonnet from where he hit it with the rock all because in the eyes of law he was considered to young to be charged
My cousin just had a baby at 19. She seems ready obviously! I knew of someone that had a baby at 15.
People are trying to defy nature because it's expensive to have a baby! Once they are your children, they are your children forever unless you put them up for adoption!
The 12 and above crown might machete you to death if you dare interfere. Welcome to cultural differences kids! "We're all one family, the human family" is horseshit.
Rather than having a set line, I think it should be based on the age difference between the two people. For example, say, a 16 or 17 year old can only consent to people no more than 4 years older than them.
I Actually came up with a whole system for it which you'll find if you scroll down my profile a bit
What's the difference between a 20 yo peck and a 24 yo pecker? Seems getting plowed is getting plowed. Only difference is that guarantees young and stupid
Yes. 10 Years is a long time. Most 30 year olds are a lot more mature and have MORE life experience than 20 year olds. A person on their late teens is more likely to view the 30 y/o as an authority figure than the 20 y/o
If they're having sex I still don't see the function difference regardless of age. Still exposed to std, pregnancy and manipulation . But I'm sure getting knocked up by another kid is way less an issue
I said 20+ because I would want 21. I would also want that to be the voting age and the age of enlistment. However, in terms of consent, I think the caveat should be that 14+ with someone no more than 3 or 4 years older as a protection (Romeo and Juliet law). Otherwise, everything should be 18 or 16. If you're old enough to take on the responsibility of raising a human, you're old enough to smoke, drink, and serve your country.
Your grandmother probably had babies around that age and my cousin who is 19 just had a baby. She doesn't look like an immature baby to me! In fact she just HAD a baby! It's nature, deal with it!

And it was that expirience that helped them mature by 18 . Scrap that and you just have dumber clueless 18 yo who are just 2 years hornier
😂😂😂😂
Y’all saying 12+ need their FBI agent to take a closer look at y’all
Lmao 😂

@AntreTheHelot CuriousNorway is asking about Europe and 15 isn't healthy at all.
That's sad
I'm Alive, Sexually I'm Fine
25 because thats when the human brain reaches maturity and complications during pregnancy are minor.
what if both are under 25 and are consent?
doesn't matter if your brain reaches maturity at 25 most people that are in there 20's are still pretty stupid
@adidas0169 I agree your not an adult to 25 but sex will NEVER wait that long
@scooogy I think thats a different issue then, but parents need to teach safe sex and STD testing.

@Warmapplecrumble may I message you?
@scooogy why
@Warmapplecrumble I have something private to tell you
@scooogy just say it here...
@Warmapplecrumble no thanks
@scooogy obviously what you want to say is rude then...
Something I think is concerning is if you're 16 I feel like many can take advantage of that like an older man preying on young and naive 16 year old girls who just because it's legal can get involved with them.

"That's not to say it doesn't happen to 18 year olds either" that definitely happens. Even James Franco tried it once.
And Leonardo DiCaprio always dumps girls when they turn 25. He always gets a new 30 year old.
Excuse me, DiCaprio always gets a new 20 year old* (literally).

18. Because the government doesn’t get to control your personal life like you’re a child if you’re not legally a child. If you want higher then move up the age of adulthood.
true; I guess we need to change adulthood to 20
@prasanp sure. You’re gonna have a riot on your hands. Lol 😂. But that would work.
yes it could work
I’d say about 18 or 21. Anything less is too young. The human brain doesn’t even develop until about age 25.
I think 18+ is good age for consent because when turn 18 years old will get freedom and do whatever want to do so do need to ask their parents permission. 💯

Everyone makes mistakes and we are ENTITLED to them
Why the hell are people saying it should be 12?
Because in some countries somewhere the age of consent is 12 and to be fare there are some horny twelve-year-olds some of them are on Gag
Now "Mexicans are rapists..." makes sense? (Age of consent down there is 12-13 in some states)
@demonics im not a rapist and im native from Mexico but oviously even Mexicans are not truly full mexicans im jus saying ok. probably because im mexican i know where they might be a lot of ignorance and killings, lynchings, raping etcetera and thats in the deep uncharted places like in Chiapas, Oaxaca etcetera
@demonics Go fuck around with a mexicans 12 yo daughetr and see if you dont end up hacked to pieces
@Riptide333 just because other countries do it doesn't make it right. Adults shouldn't be attracted to 12-year-olds.
@IIGrifterSixII LOL who do you think 'services' the cartels? Who do you think pimps them to Americans who go down there for some 'fun?' People get saltyyyyyyyy when their delicate Buzzfeed world view gets shattered.
Oh look Vox took a break from screeching about white people to do some reporting.

@demonics fair point
I'm fine with consent laws here in Germany. Its 14 as long as your partner is under 18 and 18+ without an "age limit".
age limits blur lines. Age of consent needsto be simple and consistant , no diff between a 18 yo prick and 19 yo prick in this example
@IIGrifterSixII and thats why both pricks aren't allowed to have sex with anyone below 18 ...

@IIGrifterSixII here you aren't allowed to get a driver's license until you're 18 (or 17 with a parent at your side).
See.. THAT makes sense. I all for that!!!
@IIGrifterSixII Tell us you're a predator without telling us you're a predator!

I think 18 is a good age because for the most part they already finished school so it kinda protects them for example to some extent at least.
yes only to some extent. but I still find 18 years could get more emotional damage if things goes wrong.
My cousin just had a baby at 19. She seems ready obviously! I knew of someone that had a baby at 15.
People are trying to defy nature because it's expensive to have a baby! Once they are your children, they are your children forever unless you put them up for adoption!
@SueAnon84 how old was the one getting the 15 y. o. pregnant?

Here it is
What do you think of my idea for age of consent laws? ↗
What's the difference between a 20 yo peck and a 24 yo pecker? Seems getting plowed is getting plowed. Only difference is that guarantees young and stupid
It's the amount of power and influence the person has over you
Lmao you think a 20 yo has less power than a 30 yo lol , he's young handsome brash and has zero concept of consequences. Age limits seem arbitrary
Yes. 10 Years is a long time. Most 30 year olds are a lot more mature and have MORE life experience than 20 year olds. A person on their late teens is more likely to view the 30 y/o as an authority figure than the 20 y/o
If they're having sex I still don't see the function difference regardless of age. Still exposed to std, pregnancy and manipulation . But I'm sure getting knocked up by another kid is way less an issue
It's not the sex itself, it's the power imbalance
@IIGrifterSixII Go study the neurological studies that explain why.
I said 20+ because I would want 21. I would also want that to be the voting age and the age of enlistment. However, in terms of consent, I think the caveat should be that
14+ with someone no more than 3 or 4 years older as a protection (Romeo and Juliet law). Otherwise, everything should be 18 or 16. If you're old enough to take on the responsibility of raising a human, you're old enough to smoke, drink, and serve your country.
18+ maybe 20 ish when your brain is fully developed.
It should always be 18 its scary to see how many insane people here say it should be less than that its just not right
Your grandmother probably had babies around that age and my cousin who is 19 just had a baby. She doesn't look like an immature baby to me! In fact she just HAD a baby! It's nature, deal with it!
