Should the age of consent be raised to 25?

Since that's when the brain reaches full maturity

No. You can drive at 16, vote and enlist in the military at 18. Why is sex such a big fucking deal?
The age of consent in many places is 16 and even 14 in some places. I have no problem with people being sexually active as long as they are post-pubescent.

NO. Already I think its too high - a lot of people under 18 have active sex lives. Someone can enlist in the marines at 17, can we really say its OK to consent to a difficult, very dangerous job where they might be called on to die in the line of duty, but not OK to consent to sex?

Male brains are mature at 25 - that's why prime military age is under 25 :)

Female brains mature earlier

I think 18 has been tested and researched as a good crossing point.

I’d say for guns? Absolutely 25.

Would have been a downer for my parents. But I guess times were different back then.

Nope. What problem do we think that will fix?
