If it was up to you to set a new age of consent, what would the age be and why?

Though I started having sex voluntarily when I was 11, I think I'd choose 16 as the legal age. You're more aware of what's going on at that age and can make choices that befit you and your mentality then

I was tempted to go for "no age of consent", just because I was started very young and never regretted anything. But then I thought twice. If you don't stop at 12, you won't stop at ANY age. And yes, your sexual orientation may be cut and dried as early as 6-10 years old, as psychologists tell us. But even if a 6 year old boy knows that he gets all fidgety whenever a man with a chiseled jawline, a deep voice and furry forearms is around, that doesn't mean that he's ready to handle an adult cock. For most guys "sex" is synonymous with "penetration" and at the risk of disillusioning all you www.nifty.org -addicts: a grown man's beercan-thick 10'' dick will NEVER fit into a 6 year old's boyhole. I know from experience. I wasn't able to take cocks much smaller than that at age 11.

In Germany we say "The opposite of well done is well intended." Don't know if there is a comparable phrase in English, too. But what I'm trying to say is: Even if you're no manipulative child molester and truly mean well with the boy, you'll never be able to foretell what effect it's going to have on the child. And I'm not only talking about severe damage to a young kid's rectum, but also about the effect of having your childish innocence taken away from you. Having an adult's cock squirting cum into either one of your holes is the end of your childhood, no matter how old or young you are at that time. And nobody can return it once it's been taken away.

So I guess I'll go for "16". At that point most boys should be ready. And if a kid is determined enough to get some cock, he'll go for it anyway, whether there's a law or not.

It's 16 in the UK, yet the English speaking internet seems to want to forbid 16 and 17 year olds from any sort of dating website.

Oh, I voted for 13 but that is based upon a common sense approach by those in authority. Some are ready, some aren't, if both parties are consenting then why should law stop them.

I started at age 12 in public restrooms of department stores and general mall men's rooms. I loved it - and, was a show and toy for SO many guys. I'm not saying 12 is appropriate, but realistic.

The thing that strikes me as unfair about consent laws--at least in the US--is the fact that we have different ages for different things. Driving: 16. Voting: 18. Joining the military: 17. Booze: 21. And sex? Call your state's attorney general and ask, cause it could be practically anything!

The fair thing would be to pick an age and say that's it: this is when you're an adult. Some people won't be ready at that age; some will be ready before hand. That's life. But unless we're gonna give some government agency the authority to administer a test that you have to pass to be an adult, just picking an age is the only way to go.

13yo as its when boys are most likely to actively start choosing what they want

[ivantitin]

15 or 16 is when I started to get it from 30 plus year olds. well I have took it bare since 11 but I started taking it from 30+ at 15

[Guest Raxi Starbeam]

I voted for 14. I knew I liked men since I was 10, but never really did anything until I was 14. I fooled around with my cousin when I was younger, but it never went anywhere. Since I knew I liked men at age 10, and took a few years to develop myself sexually, I think 13-14 would be a median age for an age of consent.

[ExtremeTop]

Discussion on UK news this morning suggesting it should be 15, I agree it shouldn't be reduced by more than one year at a time.

[sabahiya]

As the saying goes as hair begins to grow under your balls you're ready for it. In my case - 13.

[Guest BBSeroMan]

As soon as a boy can shoot sperm, that's old enough.

[cougkdc99]

13! Hormones are raging, dicks are hard, establish an intense bareback sex life at an early age to maintain throughout life

[MexPigMaster]

I started having sex with the next-door married neighbor. I was 11 and he was... mmm OLD. He was probably in his 30s, I guess that's OLD for an 11 year old. I was the one who seduced him. I was not forced or raped nor was I traumatized. I wanted it

[DrtyMrtini]

The legal age of consent in MD is 16. it's 14 in PA.
