Age of sexual consent... Is pedophilia real or something we made up?

Ephebophilia is laughable - it's the attraction to teenagers ranging from 14-19 and I guarantee most of the world is "afflicted" with this "disorder". Random college-student physically attracted to Miley Cyrus before she turned the "legal" age? Ephebophile. Feeling the hots for that "just turned 18" actor in your porn? Ephebophile. The media promotes it while, at the same time, condemning it.

If that's confusing, yes I'm all for a lower age of consent. Maybe not 14 but 16.

Pedophilia is simply wrong though I don't care to discuss that topic. I will state that people lump Ephebophilia and Pedophilia together far too readily.
 
a few years back this half-black, half-white chick came and talked to me randomly in the streets. She came on to me VERY strong. She was HOT, like straight out of a model-magazine HOT!

Her tits were big and round, with nipples practically poking through the shirt. She had ass for days! She had gorgeous light green eyes.

I knew she was younger than me, but by how much, I had COMPLETELY underestimated. She had the fully developed body of an adult, and she was somewhat tall as well.

So anyways, I had to ask her how old she was. Before I got balls deep in this (literally), I needed to know what I was getting into.

Turned out, the girl was only 12! Can you believe it? 12!?!?! I was 25 at the time!

I said to her, "You've got to be joking, there's no WAY you're 12!". She said, "I like older guys. Guys my age can't handle me", while at the same time looking at me with flirtatious eyes that I could hardly resist.

Any sane person who doesn't want to end up in jail and being labeled as a "pedophile" would have done what I did next, which was politely tell her that I can't because I'm far too old for her.

I have to admit though, I didn't automatically turn her down as soon as I found out she was 12. I really sat there and thought about it for awhile, wondering if a one-night-stand would have been worth the risk! I'm glad I had the good sense to do the right thing, which was walk away.

Morality had nothing to do with this decision. Besides, it wasn't like I was some older guy trying to take advantage of some young girl who didn't know any better. She came on to me, as and far as I'm concerned, she was obviously experienced enough to know what she was getting into and to know what she wanted.

The plain and simple truth is, age is just a number. Some people mature faster than others, both mentally and physically. Believe me when I tell you guys that she had a body and an attitude that went far beyond her years.

Needless to say, the experience still made me feel like a pervert. I told my friends and family about the experience, and not one of them judged me for being sexually attracted to a 12 year old girl.

Basically, if I lived in a different country where this kind of thing was allowed, I wouldn't have hesitated. Jail was the only reason I walked away.

Sex education in UK is how shall I say... gory....

My sex ed back in the day was terrible. :/

At any rate, I personally think that someone should have to get a license to have sex. To get that license, they have to be at least 14, and they have to prove that they understand the risks of sexual intercourse (STDs, pregnancy etc.) If they show an adequate understanding, they get the license. Having sex with someone who doesn't have one would be considered statutory rape.

Yes, I realise how totally impractical that idea is.
 
Paedophilia.
Hebephilia.
Ephebophilia.

Just so everyone's clear that most of us aren't actually talking about paedophilia here.

Anyway, the way I see it is that the age of consent is just a blanket-age enforced because you can't create laws on a case-by-case basis. It's all about the maturity of the person involved - Some are more mature at age 14 than others, it's a simple fact.

Whilst I think 14 as a legal age would generally be a bit young, I think it's ultimately down to the individual. I've been sexually active since I was 10, and with people far older than myself, and at the time I thought it was great. Look at how adult I am! Look at me, getting laid! Looking back I just think of how much of a dumb fucking tool I was.

The argument that "if both parties are consenting, then it should be OK" is the slipperiest slope. How can you prove you both know what you're truly getting into? The general answer is that you can't. I've had the conversation many times before, and a lot of people say that, after their first sexual encounter, they feel different - As though they've lost something.

Now, I'm not cheesy enough to say "Your first time should be special", but I do think it should be without regrets, which is why I think the age-of-consent law is fine as it is, it's made to act as a deterrent rather than a punishment - if you're going to have sex with someone below that age, then you're aware you're doing so. You know that if this person suddenly doesn't feel so great about it, you'll be in the wrong, so you'd best make damn well certain that it's what you both want, and that you both know what you're doing.

At the end of the day, whether you yourself are under-age, or want to bang someone who is, then you and they need to take every single precaution to make sure you're both fully aware not just of the actions, but all the consequences, both mental and physical. If you can do that, then you have Le Bello's blessing.
 
When I was 14 (two years ago) I messed around with a guy about twice my age. I wasn't taken advantage of in the least, I was competent enough to know it would probably be frowned upon, and I still did it. But I was very mature for my age at 14, more so than most of my peers, so maybe that is a bit young. Id say it should be 16, because if you still aren't smart enough to make decisions like that yet, you probably won't be at 18 either.
 
It should stay at 18 in my opinion. Even at 18 people tend to think with their emotions rather than their brain and it's even worse at earlier ages. 16 isn't good because at 16 everyone is an insecure emotional wreck that can't even think properly.
 
15-16 age of consent is fine, at that age she's a young woman
Head may not,but there is'nt an age for that, change person to person
I've done stuff with girls 20+ years old that act and probably think like if they are 13-14 lil sluts, and done stuff with girls honest believing they're 20 just to discover after that they was 15 or 16

After 15-16 i just see young women, some smart and intelligent, some still childish and dumb

Obvious, from there in a ideal world should be our "duty" don't be a shit of man and take advantage on them
I mean, it's obvious that -ok, if you're not some human case nerd- when you're over 25 (I'm 28) you have experience and you know many ways to easy get them, but i'm my opinion it's not "fair",you're just too much over her, seem too easy impose your will

my attitude is simple
I hate the desperate wierdo that can't get smarter(lol,usually) and lil less influencable 18-20 girls and so to survive go around searching easy preys
We got a privè at the club? I don't invite at the table clearly under 18 girls, we invite around 18/20+ ones, because after you're over 25 they're the only ones you should looking for
If she seem older and i get teh blowjob to discover just after that she's 16? No problem with that, i've seen her as woman, i was'nt searching the easy underage prey
And finally the worse one: she look 20, she act, think and talk as 20, she want do stuff, the table is lifted by your boner... and you know she's 16, BEFORE do stuff. Ok, in this situation "age of consent at 16" is greatest law ever made :D

Obvious, in a festival of hypocrisy, if tomorrow i'm a father of a 16 year old girl and i discover that a over 25 guy tap dat ass, as father i will probably use the car jack on his legs

Thing is, 16 is an ok age to do porno stuff, problem is little balls jackals-peoples attitude, but for that sadly there is no solution(aside father/brother car jack on teh knee),as long is legal is legal
 
If there's grass on the field play ball.
If she's old enough to bleed then she's old enough to breed.
^Got any more?

If the girl is being taken advantage of then jail time and a registry maybe. But if a girl's going to have a dick in her one way or another I don't think any one should go to prison for it. I guess, if she's already given it up to most of her middle-school, why worry about one old penis in her when there's been a hundred young ones? Maybe there should be some penis age ratio. It's okay to bang one old guy but not until you've banged at least eight peers. :)
 
The way I see it is, the line is a matter of being able to form a coherent value of consequence... that's what separates the ability to give consent in my mind.

The law however, needs a black and white standard because that value of consequence can range from 12-never in a lifetime. Most of the girls I met in college didn't have a grasp on it, which is probably why the sex was so good/hilarious. The temptation of someone coming onto you with such zeal that you *know* they can't possibly frame the entire situation is intoxicating as it is disgusting.

Life is awesome.

^THIS!!

On the other hand. If Someone was trying to touch my 15 year old daughter (thank god shes only 9), Id go on a murderous rampage trying to find sharp things to shove in various dark places in his body. Rather she is coherent enough to make that decision or not. Cause in my mind she will NEVER be!!

Yes Im over protective of my daughter. But at the same time.....I dont give a fuck.
 
I disagree about the black and white part. Enough teens have already been labeled pedophiles for sleeping with other teens, it's just not good. There should definitely be laws protecting minors from exploitation, but they need to not also harm dumb kids just being dumb kids. Just...y'know, common sense and fairness. I brought up the Marcus Dixon case before because it was part of a major problem associated with these kinds of laws being enforced without any sort of gray area, one of several high-profile cases at the time. The laws had to be changed because they were too black and white, the only way to enforce them meant that someone who only became a major even day before a minor and had sex with them receives the same punishment as a real pedophile. And that's exactly what happened. Dixon and others that were just barely age of majority are still registered sex offenders, due to the nature of things it would likely take federal rulings to give them the right to move anywhere and not introduce themselves to their new neighbors with "hi, I'm a sex offender" for the rest of their lives. When the laws meant to protect can do as much damage as what they're intended to protect from, we have a problem.
 
In my state you can be put on the sex-offenders list for peeing outside. It doesn't really effect women so much. Though I did see a nasty bitch peeing (maybe #2, I didn't look close) into a storm drain on a main thoroughfare.
