Hi. I'm 19 year female and need help in understanding some things about sex and the law.
I was just talking the other day with the good friend of mine and we were arguing about age limit for sex.
She said that there is no age limit for people who want to have sex, and I claimed that this couldn’t be truth. There must be some kind of limit because no meter how person feel ready, its body isn’t.
So, if anyone wants to add something to this fight, some fact or just an opinion, feel free to do that.
Thanks!
Well, I thought a bit about this and I have come to the conclusion that this is a very good question, and the answer is extremely confusing.
I have did one research on my on about this subject and I have bumped on some terms such as “age of consent”. This is the age at which you can legally enter in to contract or agreements, including having sex and in most countries it varies from 14 to 17.
But, “ago of majority” is something different. It is the age when you are considered responsible for your actions and in most parts of the world the age of majority is between 18 and 19.
In Britain, sex when one or both partners is under the age of 16 is considered illegal.
