This is true, but if we applied such thinking across the board then you can't actually do anything. So you draw a line in the sand, and if people cross it they are punished. We do the same with physical assault, homicide etc. There will always be unpleasent cases but the law is very clear

Though to get back to my main point, aslong as the 2 14year olds both want it (as in not coerced and both are competent), and are being careful about it then them having sexual relations is only a positive*...

* in terms of exercise, happiness ect.
Unless she gets pregnant, though that is hardly a certainty.

Agreed!

I have always though there should be at least a 2 year, or maybe a 3 year gap for a charge of peadophilia to be made, i knew a boy whose friend went on the sex offenders register for a video of a girl doing things with a lambringi (sp?) bottle, he was in the same school year as the girl!!

That would allow a 17 year old to have sex with a 14 year old, a 16 year old with 13, 15 with 12. Where would you stop?
