Age of Consent.

I'm wondering what is the age of consent, (to have sex) anyway is in your country.
I have found to my surprise a little, that Europe can be different to the UK

At present, the age of consent in the UK is 16,and theoretically anyone partaking under that age could be prosecuted.

Except Northern Ireland where it is 17.

In some countries, such as LOS, then there is the matter of the age of consent for commercial sex being higher (18) than the non-commercial limit (15) [PREVENTION AND SUPPRESSION OF PROSTITUTION ACT B.E. 2539 (1996)]

My usual source on these things (http://www.ageofconsent.com/) appears to be having difficulties. Here's a list from AVERT:

seemed to be alot of loopholes in it and could still get prosecuted
alot of these age of consent laws are ancient and just havent been changed
you'd think that a subject like this would be looked at more carefully

I knew somebody would bring up Garry Glitter...took the words out of my mouth...

Joke:

Q. Why does Michael Jackson like 28 year olds....????????????????????
A. Because there are 20 of them!!!!!!!!!!

On a serious note...sorry dawsey...in Australia the age of consent is 16...has been for a long time...but not quite sure...think if you are an adult of 25 or over the limit might be 18...not so sure about that...My sons tell me it's 16....

Mike says "If there's grass on the pitch" play ball...

but he's a dirty old bugger... LOL

I think in Sweden is 15 years but that depends also on the age of the other partner... If one is 15 and the other is 17 then is OK but if one is 15 and the other older than 18 I think it's a nono

I see that the age of concent in Spain is still 13...but as a norwegian I will get punished for having sex with someone under the age of 16 ANYWHERE in the
world !!!
It will also be illegal for me to go to A`dam and have a coffee in a shop !!

I was also suprised that germany is 14 too, if the other partner is under 18. Thought 16 if the partner is under 18. 1 Year less than LOS, where it is official 15! 555555555

It says on that site that in Iran you must be married.
I saw a programme on tv. last night about a 16 year old girl who was hanged in public for crimes against chastity.
A lawyer stated on the programme that the legal age of consent in Iran is 9 years old.
Yes, 9 years old.
What a place. A man can fcuk a 9 year old but a girl can be hanged for fcuking.

Well according to the age of consent website it says age of cosent for hetrosexual sex simply.. Must be married.

People tend to spout a lot of crap about muslim countries.. Ignorance usually, though they do make a rod for thier own back with how they handle PR / public perception.

Well its not correct..

Age of consent is the age of marriage.. age of marriage under Shria law is IIRC 12..

Not that different from mexico (12 for any not only under marriage), Panama 12, Phillipines 12, Spain 13, Paraguay 13 (and a few 13's in central America), Zimbabwe 12, Japan 13, S Korea 13, or even germany at 14.

Althugh its not legal I think child marriage is still considered normal in many parts of india..

The funny thing is this.... consider the following.

If a lady gives you a BJ and you pay her money - she is considered a prostitute and you will be arrested for soliciting.

But if you have a Camera with you, and you film the "lude" act. Then you cannot get arrested because you are making a movie. Then you are paying an "actor".
