I'd say under 16 is too young...that's the age of consent in the UK and I agree with that assessment. I think that having the age of consent of 18 in the US is kind of...archaic. Kids under 18 DEFINITELY have sex and they DEFINITELY know what they are doing. Despite that...for me, personally...under 18 is too young. I once had to card a guy (now my lover) to make sure he was 18...he had literally turned 18 the week before. :P He's seasoned quite well in the two years I've known him, but maturity is relative. Though he was very inexperienced, he was very mature for his age, and that impressed (and still does impress) the hell out of me.
