And? The laws of average suggest 16 y/o are more mature both emotionally and physical than 13 y/o. Random examples of the contray isn't good enough. Consent laws are designed to protect teenagers against adults, therefore here 16 is deemed the best age. Considering 16 is common worldwide I would hazard a guess that's the popular opinion
14 years if the partner isnt 18 yet.
16 if the partner is 18 or older.
Less than 18. 17 is way too old to not be able to give consent.
HEROES NEVER DIE
There is no good universal age of consent, because there is no universal maturity rate. It varies widely. As such, it should be set conservatively, and 18 seems pretty reasonable to me.
Non-vaginal sex around 12-ish, vaginal sex around 13. Been awhile.
I think it's good. I wouldn't expect people to strictly respect the age of consent that are under 18, but I would expect 18+ year olds to do so. At least under the assumption we allow for 18 year olds to at least have a semblance of personal responsibility 13-6 year olds do not.I think 18 is pretty late personally.

Better yet make it 20 now we have internet porn.
It's an arbitrary number to an equally retarted set of norms.
I'm not condoning pedos here. Far from it. I will say that youth is definitely a factor in sexual attractiveness in most guys, whether they want to admit it or not.
