Yes I agree 100%. There's a world of a difference between consenting teenagers and child with predatory adult.

IantoW. we will never agree on this. I'm not trying to say my opinion is right, you have a valid point with the law should be the law. It's just my personal opinion that the grey area that the law recognises at present, which is for 15 year olds is correct. Why take a 17 year old lad to court for having a sexual relationship with a girl of 15? Total waste of tax payers money. Why should the 17 year old have to be on a sex offenders register, labelled a sex offender when all he did was consumate a loving relationship with the 15 year old 'love of his life' a few months before her 16th birthday.

Absolutely no offence taken.

I've always thought i had my head screwed on when i was 15. I dont know how much you can know your own mind at that age. But what i'm saying is, what if the teenager is in a willing relationship with an older person. The older person may not be attracted to young people persay, just attracted to this one person? Maybe that is wrong in societies eyes, but maybe things work for individuals. I know a girl who went to my school who met a much older man whilst she was young, i always thought what an odd couple. That was 17 years ago. They have three children and are still in love. I also know another couple like this. He was middle aged and married. He left his wife for a 15 yr old. She was younger than his eldest! They too are still going strong! Im not agreeing to underage sex im just saying that it must be noted that Paedophiles are attracted to children.

yes and if your under 18 u are classed as a child!! like a I said before any man 18 or over touches my daughter while shes under the age of 18, will be pulverized, and dealt with promtly. girls at 13/14/15 years are so vunerable they will do anything a boy will tell them to do just to keep them,

. to me having sex with a child (13/14/15yrs) should be prosecuted especially if your 18 or over, its just perverted! 16 is the legal age it should be 18!!

I really don't see what the arguments are here. As far as I understand, condoms are sprinkled out like confetti at most school assemblies. If the Department of Education, togeather with the NHS, is actively encouraging and subsidising under-age nookie, then is it any surprise any remaining social, moral and legal controls are questioned?

Did anybody watch that program on TV last night ...Britains youngest mums and dads ....(channel 6 , Freeview) one was only 12 years old.

I would like to add young girls are putting themselves at risk. They may be only 13/14/15 but they act and dress alot older. The problem being they may have matured physically but what about mentally? They might think they know better than their elders but is this the case? I think parents who have young teenagers have a tough job, I think there is only so much you can do unless you're goner chain them to their room until there 16. I remember being 14 going on 21 so I thought, as far as I was concerned I knew better than anyone else!

In Amsterdam and other European countries most teens dont have sex until they're 18. They have a comprehensive sexual education starting in primary school. Most British people would be shocked at the content of their education, but there are hardly any teenage pregnancies. Knowledge is power. I think its time our government stopped living in the past and cowtowing to prim parents who think sex is bad!

Forget about what police say, anyone who wishes to take a childs OR A PERSONS innocence that will lead to the path of the wrong should be punished.

Think back to when you were innocent, and how your life is now that your innocence is gone after sex leads to drugs, drugs lead to drink, drink leads to violence, violence leads to crime, crime leads to a worthless life.

anyone under 16 should not have sex simply because the child will regreat that it's childhood was taken away at such a young age we only get one make it last.

WillowTheWhisp · 21-11-2006, 14:35

sex leads to drugs? How do you figure that one out?

entwisi · 21-11-2006, 15:37

Its the drugs leads to drink step I'm most concerned about, I must have done so many I can't remember any of them anymore. Perhaps teh Accyweb meet should be renamed to ex druggies anonymous

The law is quite clear. Having sex under the age of 16 is unlawful – full stop.

However girls mature physically (but not necessarily mentally) before boys - by at least one year so maybe that should be taken into consideration. There are always exceptions though but you cannot legislate for individuals so there has to be a blanket ban.

Lesbian or gay sex should be limited to consenting adults and that means at least 18 years of age. Even here I think that it should be 21. Paedophiles don’t just target girls. Gay men will target boys and Lesbian women will go for girls.

During the fist six weeks of my naval career we were shown a highly explicit film about venereal diseases. I can promise you that it was not nice. It put me off casual sex especially after seeing the queue outside the sick bay on my first ship.

Maybe showing such a film to youngsters would help concentrate their minds especially if the film also broached the alcohol issue.
