Re: 22 year old guy having sex with a 16 year old girl

any self-respecting 22 year old knows that 16 year olds aren't mature enough to make that kind of decision and are driven by lust.

Re: 22 year old guy having sex with a 16 year old girl

How about this?

A 14 year old girl and a 20 year old guy.

Is that any different?

Isn't 14 a little too young?
Age difference isn't really taken into consideration if the age of the person is too low.
Especially if the age of consent is 16.
That's kind of like saying a 12 year old girl and an 18 year old guy.

Re: 22 year old guy having sex with a 16 year old girl

Did some research. Here's what I came up with:


Even though the 16 year old girl gives consent, it would still be considered rape because the girl is under the age of 18.

Consent may be absent due to duress arising from the use, or threat, of overwhelming force or violence, or because the subject is incapacitated in some way such as intoxication or being underage. In some cases coercion might also be used to negate consent.

The lack of valid consent does not necessarily mean that the victim explicitly refused to give consent. Generally, consent is considered invalid if it is obtained from someone who is below the age of consent defined in that jurisdiction. Sexual activity involving a person below the age of consent is often known as statutory rape although some jurisdictions prefer terms such as "unlawful sexual intercourse" to avoid the forcible connotation of the word.

Statutory rape (sometimes called "rape of a child", "corruption of a minor", "carnal knowledge of a minor" and so on) is the crime of sex with a minorage of consent (AOC), the age at which individuals are considered competent to give consent to sexual conduct. Statutory rape differs from other types of rape in that overt force or threat need not be present. By law (statute), any such sexual activity is assumed to be coercive since the minor is considered by law to be incapable of giving consent to the acts.

Age of consent is usually the age at which an individual can legally have intercourse with an adult, but in some jurisdictions the AOC establishes the minimum age of sexual conduct with anyone, regardless of age. In jurisdictions with the latter, it would be possible to charge two minors with a violation of the state's AOC.


EDIT:

If you read the blog you would've noticed this took place in Canada. It also stated that 16 is old enough to engage in sexual intercourse.

I think we're missing a glaring problem in wondering what the **** Dewayne2, a self-proclaimed father of a one year old daughter, was searching for when he found an article entitled, "Having Sex With A 16-Year-Old."

Re: 22 year old guy having sex with a 16 year old girl

I just don't think girls or guys at that age can make rational decisions that are in their best interest with all the hormonal and societial pressure coming down upon them

QFT.

I respectfully disagree. Or at least, I don't think there is nearly as substantial a difference as you seem to think between 16 and 18 year olds. In fact, given the difference between highschool (which is free to the student, light on homework, and full of time for socialising) and college (where you are paying or racking up loan interest, and every course you fail adds more time to your degree) I think the pressures are generally less.

I have to disagree with this. College has more pressure but people taking it are alot more mature. Kids can only be kids.

ps here in Florida it's illegal to have sex if your under 18, but if you're sex buddy is older then 18 then you can sue him/her. AS BEEN DONE BEFORE IN MY TOWN

Re: 22 year old guy having sex with a 16 year old girl

any self-respecting 22 year old knows that 16 year olds aren't mature enough to make that kind of decision and are driven by lust.

And vice-versa (though I certainly don't expect anything regarding maturity from a sixteen year old).

That's my problem with this issue: that the guy is much older, not that the girl is younger.

Two sixteen year olds want to have sex? Well, I can chalk that up to teenage stupidity.
A twenty-two year old somehow can't contain himself and must have sex with a sixteen year old? That just ain't right. Nine times out of ten in that situation (to be conservative), the guy just wants a nice tender piece of meat. The rest of the times, the older guy is just an idiot and can't make rational decisions himself, despite having no reason to not resist.

Re: 22 year old guy having sex with a 16 year old girl

Age difference isn't a problem at all.
about the age itself, considering a 16 yo girl can marry in most regions, it's also ok.

In conclusion, this guy is lolicon.

Re: 22 year old guy having sex with a 16 year old girl

Well he wants to be charged for rape... He could, a long as he's not doing for a quickie or somthing like that, wait till she's 18 at least. Yes you have the right to be outraged but here in america, the only thing you can do is say it.

Re: 22 year old guy having sex with a 16 year old girl

That guy needs to stop thinking about whats in his pants and get a life that does not involve using teenage girls. Age of consent is 16 in England but if a 16 year old girl or boy went out with someone who was older than 19 they are looked down upon and sometimes beaten up
(not pure full fact because it can be accepted in some places, I'm just stating what happens to perverts like him in my area of England)

Re: 22 year old guy having sex with a 16 year old girl

In all honesty, I think it's perfectly acceptable.
To all the people who say nay, "Eww, she's 16, he's 22. RAPE RAPE.", is there really that big of a difference?
In society's standard, at least here in America, the age of 18 is key to many things; mainly a right of passage into society. But, can age actually define someones mental state? Can it define whether or not a decision is acceptable or not? Of course 18 can be used for an overall standard; Most men and woman by the age of 18 are mentally stable and most of puberty has bypassed for most, yet, it cannot define humans one by one.
Obviously we all grow and change at different rates, so what's not to say that that 16 year old is not more "mentally" mature than an 18? Age really has nothing to do with this at all, other than society's standards and laws. This entire situation depends mostly on morals, given that it is legal in Ontario.
Back to the people who say no, Why? Is it just because she is a minor? Or rather, is it because she cannot give consent because she is "too" young to know what she is consenting to?
Honestly, this isn't anything serious compared to a lot of other age/sex situations.
Let's take this situation for example. Let's change the age of the two to the male being 49, and the female being 18. Is that a pedophile? No. Does it sound worse than the situation right now? Yes. Most people would go into shock and awe reading about something like that, yet it is perfectly legal.
This is perfectly acceptable, and I have no idea why America's laws are so crappy.

Not going to add anything to the debate but if I did I would mostly agree with this.

Just depends on the people.
