How come most people here on reddit view 18 as the bare minimum age of consent, but where I live it's 16, and I've literally never heard anyone talk about it being too low?
Post Body

I even asked my health education teacher couple days ago, and she said she feels the current age is fine.

But oh my, most people here view a 19yo dating a 17yo as very disturbing.

It's seems really weird, since here in finland it's legal for a 16yo to have sex with anyone, unless their in a position of power over them (e.g. teacher, coach, or a prison guard) and as I said, I don't see anyone here saying there's anything wrong with it.

So where does the difference in attitude come from?

Comments

I see some comments here about not being at the same stage in life when thereā€™s an great age difference.

When I was 20 I had sex with a 35 year old just for the pleasure of it. Iā€™ve had sex with a woman in her 20s when in my 40s just for the pleasure of it.

Do sexual encounters need to qualify as being long term viable in order for it to be ok or can you just have fun without thinking ā€œis this the love of my life and do we have a future togetherā€?
