age

[NorwegianGuy]

Hi everyone.
Anyone able to tell me why everyone in the stories are 18 and older?
I like younger girls, and its "annoying" when i read stories about 18 - 20 yrs old....
Is it about Age of Consent maybe?
I'm from Norway, and Age of consent in Norway is 16..... and i like it....
Anyone with a good answer?

Keep it in Norway then.

This site's strictly 18 & above. You're shopping for the wrong kind of goodies here. Not here. Not now. Not ever.

In other (more diplomatic) words, this is a US-based site & therefore has to abide by US law. If it was based in the UK or (I presume) anywhere else in Europe things would be different, since the age of consent is 16 in most if not all European countries.

The age of consent is 16 (as is most of Europe), apart from Holland which I believe is 15.
This is not child abuse its just we treat people as adults younger.

By the way America in some states can't you marry your 13 year old cousin? I believe Jerry Lee Lewis did and it was done legally (or am I wrong?).

 

[MissTaken]

A good answer....

I can't remember the story, but I am pretty certain Jerry Lee took some trouble over that and perhaps lied to say she was older.

But I can't remember.

Not trying to be confrontational people, just trying to point out that a lot of europeans get mistakenly called pedos when they only doing something perfectly legal in their own country.
How ever in the UK we do insist that porno books/ films etc that the people involved are over 18.

Age of consent varies from country to country. In fact, Lit, which is US based, picked the upper value for age of consent rather than try to adhere to all the possible ages it could have just for the USA alone.

I did a little research and stumbled onto this table which I found rather interesting.

I didn't realize that this was something set at the state level and so many states had differing ages.

Fascinating! I know there are cultural differences, but 12 or 13???

As for the state levels, in WA 18 is legal for porn and everything else, but when one of the people is 16 or 17, and the other is no more than five years older, it's not considered statutory rape.

It's also the same as the law in England is 16 to have sex but it's 18 to WATCH sex, a little crazy if you ask me...

Hmmm, looking at that table leaves me a bit puzzled. Most states have 2 ages, and age for the male and an age for the female. I noticed that all had the male at a younger age of consent than the female.


This makes me wonder mostly because (in general) females mature faster then males.

Anyone else notice this or think of this?

 

[cal69]

Thanks for finding that table, I wonder how many people knew whats on it.
Off the original subject but still about ages, I was curious at which age you can legally own a gun in America?

That's going to require another thread!

My apologies for the lack of diplomacy. It's just that the last thing Laurel & the rest of us need happening here is for the Feds to come shut this site down for trafficking in American under age porn.

I believe Jerry Lee Lewis did and it was done legally (or am I wrong?).

This destroyed his career. And laws in the US have changed since then (presuming this was ever legal to begin with).

Hi everyone.

All of the legalities raised by other posters aside, the simple and blunt answer is:

There are no stories with under-18 sex on this site because the owners choose not to post them.

No other reason or argument is relevant -- this is a privately owned site and the owners choose what will and will not be published on it.

For the U.S. states, I don't think those are gender-specific ages, they are different laws, mostly pertaining to when it's not considered statutory rape (within limits) and the age of full consent.

But it's very interesting to see the gender limits on countries such as Iran, Botswana, and Bolivia. Hmmm...

18 to purchace a longarm
21 to purchace a handgun(although you can inherit one at 18).

The Peoples Republic of Kalifornia and Ilinois might be different.

Do you know if there is an age limit on using a firearm? Or can any parent/adult who decides their kid is ready hand them a gun?

Target shooting under supervision is not regulated or restricted by law. Privately owned shooting ranges may have rules and restrictions for liability reasons or just personal bias of the owners.

Hunting laws in most states permit junior licenses at around age 14 that permit juveniles to carry and use a gun under the supevision of an adult with a hunting license -- the exact rules vary as widely as age of consent does.

 

[Bobmi357]

A couple years ago, as a member of our local search and rescue, I recall seeing members of the local explorer group, a youth group, carrying sidearms on several searches. These were kids, aged 15 to 17. Apparently as long as they had taken and passed a specialized course in handguns, they were allowed to carry the weapons on searches for protection.

Just to clarify I'll add that we live in a rather wild area, and the wildlife around here include bear, mountain lion, bobcat, as well as elk, moose, deer etc...

Personally I don't approve of children carrying weapons, but on the other hand, they would not have stood a chance unarmed and up against a mama bear thinking it needed to defend its cubs.

Yup, here it's 12 for small game and archery deer and 14 for rifle deer.

Target shooting is purely up to the parent.

Where is "here" -- you don't have a location listed so it's difficult to tell where you're referring to.

Not sure about the cousin bit being done legally, but if you're 13 and you get parental consent...I think you can get married legally. Not sure if there's a clause to that part of the law says that you can only get parental consent at a certain age, like 15 or 16.

Marriage age with a parent's or judge's consent is different in each state: http://www.coolnurse.com/marriage_laws.htm

Without consent, it's 18 in most states, but there are a few exceptions: http://family-law.freeadvice.com/parentalconsent.htm
