    In Ireland? 23. And it should be enforced.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    What is it here? 17?

    That's about right.

    Doesn't bother me as I'm an adult and only interested in sleeping with adults.

    Why 23? 15 seems reasonable

    Hope you don't support speaking about yourself in the third person though because that doesn't help you out it just makes you look silly.

    17 in Ireland seems ok, wouldnt really care if it went up or down by a year.

    Fucked if I care.
    I'm 19 and don't plan on riding anyone younger than me.
    Tbh, I've only ever been with people older than me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,086 ✭✭✭soups05


    i agree with 23, maybe higher.


    (I have a soon to be 16 year old daughter so have a vested interest in this)

    Don't send her abroad then since alot of countries in europe has 15 as the age of consent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,721 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    Why 23?
    Is this just you lads regretting your stupid mistakes a few years back?

    Doesn't seem fair to punish your childern for what you've done.

    In Sweden it is not uncommon for a 25 year old man to sleep with 15-16 year old girls. It is frowned upon but it happens more often than you think.

    Isn't it 13 in Spain? Sickos...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 390 ✭✭happyfriday


    I think it should be 18, I know it's only a year off what it is now but I can't see the harm in hiking it up.

    It's all down to culture really.
    I'm sure people in countries where it's a really low age would probably think we're mental.

    I think the legal age for drinking is to high, too.
    The way we go about teaching the young 'uns about alcohol is stupid too.

    Look at countries like france, where it's 16 and you've got a lot less of a drinking problem and then take the USA where it's 21 where they've got drunks on every corner and every one that has a drink on the week end is obviously an alcoholic.

    It's about teaching, not what age they are.
    Madness...

    In Mexico and Angola the age of consent is 12.

    It's a bit of a myth that French teens have this 'oh so sensible' attitude to alcohol. Teen binge drinking is a problem there too:

    It really depends on where you are. Ireland should be 16. Other countries it should be 18.

    15 in sweden is fine, but there should be some sort of treshold...

    i would hate to be in this postion it would do my head in mate i dont envy you at all :(

    i would agree its abit young at the moment i reckon 18 in line with the drinking age....to be honest i think the 2 are intralinked....

    I think it's perfectly fine the way it is.
    I can see why some countries have it younger, seeing as a girl has reached sexual maturity at a younger age than 17. But some of the ages are pushing it. Like 12? Jesus...

    julien, I am (fairly) sure she is still untouched by the hand of man.

    thanks in part to my two pearls of wisdom which i imparted to her boyFIEND when we met.

    1. whatever you do to her,i will do to you.

    2. she's the apple of my eye and i'm not afraid to go BACK to jail.*



    * copyright bill engval blue collar comedy tour

    not to mention the fact that i raised her well enough to have respect for herself and not jump into bed with the first hoodie to come along.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 415 ✭✭shampoosuicide


    the people saying 23 are joking, right?

    Is he under the age of consent?
    Is that not rape?

    I'd be carefull.


    Oh and btw, the whole trying to scare a BF thing, useless, it will only encourage them.

    It's common sense, man.
    You threaten some one and they'll respond in a negitave manor. Where as, if you give off a postive vibe, it will come back to you.

    Trying to sound tough will only get you laughed at, espacially in this kind of situation.

    Unless you actually are tough, then there's no way the kid will touch your daughter! At that age, if some massive guy with tree trunks for arms told me 'What you do to her, I'll do to you' I'd be runnin for the hills!

    not to mention the inherent ridiculousness of the threat. 'she's the apple of my eye, but i don't mind going to jail and leaving her without a father'. yeah, good hustle

    No sorry. I tried but couldn't make any sense of this. You thought you were a pedophile cause you had no hair on your chest when you were in jail or something?

    I think that's a huge generalisation, and a bit of wishful thinking tbh.
    The statistics for the age teens loose their virginity in Ireland would vary hugely due to location, social class, education, etc..

    I'm a bit beyond that age now (26) but when I was 16 - 17 I remember it being about 50-50. About 80-20 by mid 17.

    I'd love to know why you think the vast majority are virgins...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,171 ✭✭✭Neamhshuntasach


    I know for legal and prosecution reasons an age limit is needed but do people really think that increasing the age limit is going to dissuade 2 horny 16 year olds from riding each other silly? I was 14 when i first got me rock and roll and no law was gonna keep me from tapping that. Granted i hadn't a clue what i was doing so maybe we should be taught about it earlier. Porno class in school wouldn't be a bad idea.
