Isn't it the opposite in the US with the driving age being sixteen?
Some places like South Dakota it is 14 to drive and 16 to sex.

Kinda weird for americans.....you are assumed to be responsible enough at a certain age to get married, serve your country, own firearms, drive, smoke etc. But you can only drink when you are 21. Legal wise.

Same situation in Britain

Age of consent is 16 but can't buy Porn until your 18

But you can't drive until your 17

Or buy alcohol till your 18

So basically sex comes first in Britain

God, I love my country!

In Denmark you can have sex anytime you want. But it's illegal to have sex with someone under 15 if you are 15 or over. To legally have sex with someone in the ages from 15 and up to 18, you must not be more than 8 years older.
So if you are 23 you can legally have sex with a 15 yearold.
And if you're under 15 you can have sex with a 2 yearold :p

It varies.
16 is the standard. However it's a 3 year distance otherwise. So if you're 18 you can go as low as 15 year old, 17 can go as low as 14. 13 and below is completely off limits though. As long as your the same age it's okay as well. (as long as it's above 13)

Age of consent is not about having sex over all is about sexual relations between an adult and a minor. I highly doubt it's 'illegal' to have sex below age 17 I've never heard of a state doing that. It means if someone OLDER than 17 tries to sleep with someone younger than 17 they get a statutory charge. It's very easy for someone of an older age to take advantage of those that are younger.

16 here in England, apparently there's a whole load of extra bits to the law about the age gap between the two people, for example if an 19 year old and a 16 year old have sex they are both legal but it can still count as statutory rape or something... I don't know for sure.

Law should be when they hit sexual maturity (ie, being able to have sex), everything else is some random line in the sand that matters naught.

I really should check, but I'm too bloody lazy right now. >_>

It's 17 here, but personally, I wouldn't protest with it being increased to 25, just to stop every bloody randy teen from talking about sex, and being arrested and criminally charged if they do engage in the act.
I don't think making things illegal stops teenagers from doing it.
But getting arrested and imprisoned for it would get a few more teenagers off the streets, and frankly, even though that's an insensible idea, it's just too absurdly funny to pass up.
How... how would they catch you? Do the patrol cars hear the noises with listening devices and then raid your house? If anyones been caught for this i feel very sorry for them. At the same time i have to ask HOW THE HELL DID YOU LET THAT HAPPEN?! A policeman randomly finding people.

I think that people who are in the military at the age of 18 should be able to drink here in the States, since there suppose to be mature. We have that age limit because theres too many idiots in America.

My biology teacher was from South Dakota and to him it was natural for a person to drive at the age of 14 since it seems that people in that state are mature. Each state has different kinds of people to worry about.
