Question Re: Underage Sex Is Not Paedophilia??

The law is quite clear. Having sex under the age of 16 is unlawful – full stop.

However girls mature physically (but not necessarily mentally) before boys - by at least one year so maybe that should be taken into consideration. There are always exceptions though but you cannot legislate for individuals so there has to be a blanket ban.

Lesbian or gay sex should be limited to consenting adults and that means at least 18 years of age. Even here I think that it should be 21. Paedophiles don’t just target girls. Gay men will target boys and Lesbian women will go for girls.

During the fist six weeks of my naval career we were shown a highly explicit film about venereal diseases. I can promise you that it was not nice. It put me off casual sex especially after seeing the queue outside the sick bay on my first ship.

Maybe showing such a film to youngsters would help concentrate their minds especially if the film also broached the alcohol issue.
