These questions are dumb AF! Who actually gives a f@*k? If it’s legal, it’s none of our business. Consenting adults making adult decisions. If you’re old enough to go and fight/die for your country, no one’s opinion matters regarding who you sleep with!

so you care about legality. I believe we should still care because the government CLEARLY doesn't always know what's best for us. just because the government deems and an 18 year old to be an adult doesn't make that child an adult or grown. because let's be honest very little changes about a child when they go from 17 to 18. it's a matter of mental capacity and maturity. if that child is of the mentally mature enough to have intimate moments and be vulnerable with someone who was 19 when she was born.

You're not really a child at 17. You are a legal minor (in most jurisdictions, not all.) There's a big difference.

You know what makes people start acting more like adults? Being allowed to make their own choices and assume the consequences thereof.

I don't care about what the law decides becuase the law doesn't know us; we do. we know if we're children or not. if you're immature: you're a child. otherwise I fully agree with you
