I think an interesting question here would be this... if there were no age of consent, and no morality involved, what is the youngest age of female (or male) that you would engage in sexual activities with. Be honest!
Let's use the US as an example, where 16-18 is the age of consent in most states (again though, for this case, it's not really an issue).
Me... 18? Hell yeah. 17? Hell yeah. 16? Honestly, probably... sorry, but there are a LOT of 16 y/o girls out there that really get guys motivated (and many you'd assume were 17 or 18 by their looks anyhow). Remember, as for the "Oh, but she can't make a good decision for herself" argument.. there are 27 y/o girls that can't either. Is a monogamous 16 year old girl really somehow morally worse than a 26 year old girl that sleeps around?
What if you met a girl at a party, she appeared "legal"... you hit it off, took her home and had sex, only to find out the next day she was 15. How would you feel? Other than scared about potential legal repurcussions... would you feel guilty? What if she turned out to be 14? 13? I know it sounds crazy, but there ARE 13 and 14 y/o girls that could pass for 17 or 18. At what point would you go from feeling like "oops" to "OMG what did I do?!?!"
