Are you asking why it's wrong for adults to have sex with 13 year olds? Does it really need to be explained?

Yes it does. With reason, logic and facts if you have any.

What is the justification for the law, and if you can't come up with anything better than "Because it's wrong" then I'm not going to be moved to change my mind about thinking the law is wrong.

The same reason babies are apparently allowed to crap their pants right in public. If I did that, they'd lock me up. Talk about a double standard!

Yeah...not to mention breastfeeding. Try that in public as a 40 yr old guy.

From experience, I know you stand a better chance of not getting slapped if you at least know the woman.

The law is there protect children from sexual exploitation by pedophiles. No grown man or woman has any business buggering a child. End of story.

Why not? What is your reason?

$1:

I most certainly am not trying to change your mind. If you really don't see any issue with adults having sex with children IMO your mind is too far gone for me to waste my time on.

I like to use the rational thinking part of my brain, so I'm asking for a rational reason why it should be illegal.

You say my mind is too far gone and yet you are the one that can't offer up a reason.

Gunnair Gunnair:

I suppose it's good you make these posts. It means everyone here develops a better understanding of you as do those that monitor some of the more vulgar internet content out there.

Yes asking someone to explain why a law should be a law is so vulgar.
Having to think! On noes!

Keep shipping APS.

When I thought I had enough reasons to not allow Xort to own guns, he gives me another one.

[andyt]

Xort is right. I just read about in-utero masturbation. If those kids are going to wank it before they're even born, then sex with an adult at 11 won't hurt them, just give those horny little buggers more options. If we can charge em with a crime at that age, the least we can do is let them have sex with whomever they choose. No rational reasons at all to prevent that.

[raydan]

For me, it's the other extreme, I don't even think that 18 year olds are mature enough to give sexual consent.

[andyt]

Sounds like you have a daughter that age.

I think the current law strikes a pretty good balance. I give credit to the CPC for enacting it. I wouldn't have any problem with raising the age to 18 from sixteen for having sex with someone more that a few years older, say 3 years.

Rather than just letting them have sex with people their own age? How is that better?

$1:

People keep making this implication, but when I ask for a reason I get nothing.

Why can't anyone offer me some reasons?
"It's so obvious I shouldn't have to say it!"
Well just this once why don't you say it, for me.

"The whole situation, the way it built up was an accident," Then our pants accidentally fell down and then we accidentally kissed...

As one of the comments said - if the coach was a man there'd be calls to hang him.

The promise ring was an accident too of course.

As for age of consent / sexual interference laws XORT was wondering about. The reason is that an adult has a different understanding and mental capacity than a minor and can more easily manipulate them into believing or buying into something that the minor might regret. In its basic form it protect the weak (maturity and mentally) from the strong. When is the human brain scientifically capable of cognitively analyzing these situations with mature persons? Well the answer is "it depends." But we have to put an age on it so the law picked one that likely covers the "average."

So those people have to live with that law until it says creepy perverts can go after kids. Just like the pot heads have to wait until we allow pot. IMO, if there was a vote between the two and I had to choose one, I'd pick free pot for everyone over free rain for skinners.

So for now if you want to get away with exploring and sleeping with 12 year olds with promises of marriage you'll have to move to Bountiful BC.

You would spoil it by explaining the obvious. Doubt it will sink in.

One of the funniest scenes I remember is from a French movie called "Le Chaud Lapin". A 30 something old guy winds up in bed with a young woman. As they're undressing, he asks her how old she is and she answers 13. As the guy rushes to get dressed and the hell out of there, the girl says, "What's the problem, are you superstitious?".
