    I didn’t say they shouldn’t fuck, feisty pants. I said they can’t consent. Consent is a legal term.

    They can and should fuck as much as they want. They just can’t provide consent.

      Except that they can provide consent. In the U.S. alone: https://www.ageofconsent.net/states

      So, some states allow it, some don’t. But there you have it. In some states (and countries), under 18 people can consent. Now, show me how you’re going to move the goalpost now.

          Ok, friend. In that case, we’re on the same page.

          Teens of a certain age can consent. But I agree that some 40 year old wanting and attempting to have sex with a 17 year old is a fucking depraved predator trying to take advantage of inexperience.
