I remember stupidly getting into a Fbook argument about the AOC mentality in the US with an American friend, and I let slip that info.
I also said that I personally felt horrible whenever we were out in public, and they couldn't hold hands or even look at each other, for fear of someone noticing.
Like, one time he got really angry at me for I think calling her his girlfriend in public.
Ofc they sperged and said he was taking advantage of her. But I remember, specifically, him waiting until she was 16 (the "legal" age here) to, you know...
Would someone who was "taking advantage" of someone wait, for that long, just to...Not really take advantage at all?
No, not really, right? No.
If I remember it is similar where I am, although the rules have been changed quite a bit recently.
My friend was, when I first met him, 17? I think, aroundabouts. And his (then)girlfriend was like 13? And they knew each other from before I showed up, so...

Do both get sent to jail?
Or do they get made to fight each other, with the winner getting the charge revoked?

I had a best friend in school who was having sex with his gf from like 13.5/14 years onwards.
They got married, and have two beautiful daughters.
They are a rare, and amazing example of "childhood sweethearts".
They were peers, yes, but that isn't the point.
And I'm not even going to go back into my other friend who was dating a girl a few years younger than him in school and uni.
Your view that people below 16 can't "consent" or understand the nuances of the whole "sex" thing is just, well....Yeah...Not really borne out by reality.
@beardalaxy I'm more partial to Ukrunny atm...
