    Should we consent to the age of reform?

    I thought we all agreed it was,
    .5(Your age)+7


    e.g. For me it would be .5(24)+7=19

    That doesn't help if you're 16.

    It does.
    16(.5)=8+7=15 Simples
    It works

    16(.5)=8+7=15 Simples
    It works

    Erm, using that formula as a defense will not keep you off the sex offenders register


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,650 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    We should reform every single law relating to sex in this country. Especially the statutory rape law.

    It won't?!?.... [runs off to burn the evidence].

    ... Anyway, why would we need to reform the age of consent, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it from where I am standing.

    Pics or gtfo








    on second thoughts maybe not!

    17 should be 16

    If a 15 year old boy and 16 year old girl have sex, guess who gets put on the sex offender register should the parents decide to press charges.

    That's why we need to bring it in as part of the law. I want to see 50 years old locked up for banging 30year olds. It happends, and it's actually a good point.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,879 ✭✭✭Coriolanus


    Yes, it should. In particular, if they're going to punish young males under 16 for having sex and not punish young females under 16, even where the sex was consensual, there should be a national ad campaign encouraging young ladies to give handjobs, blowjobs and allow anal, since the young male is going to jail if they have vaginal sex.

    Neither, as of yet no conviction has ever been made when both parties were under age and within two years of each other, and the way the laws are worded there probably never will be unless its changed.

    Speaking from experience?

    your age - your age + 18

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

    The person under-age is never punished its the adult that is punished.

    It's a stupid feckin law, the parents of the boy should be able to bring counter charges. If there was equality on this issue, not a single such case would ever come to court.

    If a heterosexual, under the age of consent couple engage in vaginal sex, the male will face punishment, not the female. If they only engage in anal, oral, or otherwise, the law punishes them equally or not at all.

    Nope,underage people do get charged,men only,example here-

    Maybe I should do research before I repeat things I heard in the pub :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,879 ✭✭✭Coriolanus


    :D
    I know, it's a sexy thought. Hopefully by the time they're legal for me, they'll have learned enough to give a proper blowjob.

    There should be a 2 year rule, I've been told before that there was if both were under 17 but I guess I've been wrong. I'm gonna be locked up so :pac:
