no lower that 18

tbh I'd vote for the age at which it's proven biologically proven that the two people have fully developed sexual intercourse and are mentally developed enough to understand what sex is and what can happen during it

Which is probably somewhere around age 16-17?

though still might need some baseline minimum there

id say that 16 nor 18 yet truely understands the consequences of "family"

and that burden it entail

Yeah but at the same time it's kinda stupid to make it so they can't bang when they will obviously try so

body capable of breeding and brain capable of caring sadly does not equal to understanding

afaik kids can still bang eachother if both are under age of consent ?

no matter the age

or have i skipped something

Then basically you'd lock consent to understanding of the conecpt of family?

on the concept of burden

Also no not allowing kids to bang no matter the age

rare 18y olds are responsible enough to form family/grow children

nor smart enough

Yeah but you could find people older than that who still match the criteria

true

but that point (at least what i have observed in general population and being bartender many years

is around that 20 year old mark

16-21 safe 18+ safe

when future truely starts to make them wonder

I'd say it would be best to just shove the info to them at around age 15 what is sex

And what sex entails

and they start to plan for it

I mean who's to say they won't find porn and try to recreate it

Kids be 12 watching that on the regular

That's why I'm an advocate of teaching them about it rather than play ignorant

People will ignore law and what not if they can't won't get caught so instead of trying to hide it, just allow it on your terms

Remember America banning alcohol?

indeed teach them

<:thvnk:332928260004642827>

but the "consent" they can give to porn/other adults etc to 20

If you teach them properly then even if age of consent would be 16 they should at least be more responsible about it

sure they will always have sex when its suits them

but it gives kids under 20 lawfull protection

incase rape/etc

what is the main use of "consent"

Why not do an age gap limit then

If under 20 then you can only have I dunno max 2 year difference or 3?

thats was not on that list :P
