we have a similar joke in britain: a person between 16 and 18 can have sex, but they can't look down
incidentally: your age of consent is 18?
I thought WE were the ones who were meant to be prudish about that sort of stuff...
What are you kidding? This is America, the land of the Prudes.
Yeah, our age of consent is 18. Although in practice, I know of no one who actually waits that long (at least not personally, you hear about them on TV and such. But everyone I personally know started earlier than that). I don't really know why they don't just change it to 16.
I think (but don't quote me on this) that it is actually legal for two underage people to have sex. And of course for two over 18 people to do so. Where they get into trouble is if you have one over and one under age. Which leads to an interesting issue, what if two people who are underage are sexually active with each other, and then one of them turns 18. Does that mean they have to stop until the other one reaches that age? I never really understood how that worked (not that I've bothered to look into it, mind you

).
