The Million Dollar Question: Age of Consent

[BLueRibbon]

In an ideal world the AoC would be puberty, but girls start as early as 6 or 7 and boys start as late as 13 or 14. A consistent legal standard would be challenging, but if an arbitrary line had to be drawn somewhere, it should be at 12. Most children would have started puberty by then.

What do you think about our 16/12 proposal? It's a bit less arbitrary, but still potentially acceptable to non-MAPs if framed the right way.

I’m wholewheartedly on board with it even as a self-identified anti-contact MAP. I think it’s a very reasonable middle ground. The Netherlands had the same law as recently as 2002.

I'm opposed to any age of consent laws. If there were to be any I would say at least 5. That's the sweet spot for teaching children technique
