<quote=Wikipedia> In Canada the age of consent is 16, but there are two close-in-age exemptions: teenagers who are 14 or 15 may have sex with a partner who is less than five years older, and children aged 12 and 13 may have sex with a partner who is less than two years older.

I live in Indiana, and we have to backwards, so our age of consent is 16, but it's illegal to perform oral sex if you're under 18.
Well, it doesn't help that the Irish constitution and much of our law is a mish mash of Victorian and early 20th Century pious Catholic morality, and accumulated changes from decades of referenda on various issues. Referenda are basically an Irish hobby. We can't go 3 years without having one on something.Rainboq said:

I usually only pay attention to laws that affect me. This one isn't one that is likely to be enforced at all, so I didn't feel the need to learn it.Marik2 said:Alright fair enough, its just that people from around the world criticize Americans for not knowing their own laws
