Should sex between minors the same age be illegal?

The age of consent is 18 & having sex under that age is illegal. Whether it's with someone over the age of consent or if they're the same age as you.

Illegal means if you do it then the police will arrest you or do something else horrible.

Example: A 14 year old boy & a 14 year old girl are dating & really love each other. They go home & do stuff like making out, taking their clothes off, having sex, & sleeping naked together.
Should the government interfere with that?
Should the police arrest them & have them charged with having sex while under the age of consent?                                                                                                                                       Should their parents/guardians take the punishment for not watching them like a hawk 24/7?

The good side (No leave them alone) doesn't mean that you think it's okay or that you support it. You can be a religious anti-sexual who thinks it's evil but you live by the quote "I may disagree with how you live but I will fight for your right to live that way" & decide that even though you are against it you do think that it is not the government's buisness. The good side means you think that underage sex shouldn't be a legal issue. Just a personal issue.

I Evan Gragg do think it's okay for consenting minors to have sex. I am 16 & if I had a girlfriend I would do that stuff with her.

The bad side (Yes arrest those fuckers!) doesn't mean you just think it's wrong. It means you actually believe the police should arrest them & charge them with underage sex. It means you do believe that the government should interfere with them & have charges brought against them. If you vote for the bad side then you are just miserable. I label this as sexual fascism/totalitarianism.

sex is a private thing that should not be decided by the government. if people have sex the right way when it is protected then there should be no problem. no matter what age u are there are woman getting pregnant because they dont practice safe sex. if you cant pratice it then your not responsible enough to have it

I say no it should not be illegal, but that does not change the fact that too many kids are way too young to be engaging in sex acts. I personally think that having sex at a young age will lead to having more partners, more stds, more pregnancy, more stupidity selfishness and regret.

I mean how do you enforce that law? What are we going to have police hiding out in the bushes waiting for two 14 year olds coming home together and then bust through the door hoping to catch them. It's ludicrous.

The main reason I'm even say that I'm a conserative is my ideology of fiscal responsibility. Obama breaking the record on spending. GW not really a true Conservative in the matters of budget. kind of shattered that reputation for the Republicans. My main guy that I listen to and he is a genius on money is Ron Paul. I don't believe in all of his policies but when it comes to money and the economy he's the shit.

oh yeah stick to the debate. You can't make laws against teens near the same age that want to have sex. Anybody every read the book or see the movie 1984?

No as long as they are the same age i dont see the problem with it and plus it's not like theres sexual abuse going on and if a screw up happens and the girl gets pregnant it's their fault.

The government should have nothing to do with people's sexual affairs.

That should be between that boy & that girl. Not that couple & the police!

You are an idiot. You think its ok that a 13 year old ends up pregnant? Plus, they are minors. They should have to live by the rules set forth by their parents and the law. What are you about 5 years old? You sound like a whiny baby who wants to be able to do whatever they want!

Im afraid you are the idiot here idiot! you want the police to control every aspect of our lives?

you want the government to tell us that we aren't allowed to have sex?

no its not good if a 13 year old ends up pregnant. But what if a poor middle aged woman gets pregnant? isn't that just as bad?

Who cares about the number of days they have walked the Earth! numbers shouldn't apply to this situation. What are you a brainwashed Hitler youth member or something?

you sound like a brainwashed dumbass who wants the government to do everything for them including controlling every aspect of their lives.

Surely the trick is to educate young people efficiently so that they can defend themselves against the world rather than relying on laws to wash over a problem? The fact is that though there are rules, people break them. It happens all the time, everywhere, through all humanity and its varied environments. Just writing it off saying 'well it's illegal so they shouldn't do it' isn't helping anyone to deal with the potential repercussions of what is, essentially, a private thing between two people that we are naturally predisposed to do.

Young people need to be encouraged to take pride in themselves and take care of themselves, whether that's learning to make informed decisions about who they sleep with to knowing about protection and where they can go and who they can talk to if things do go wrong.

There IS such a thing as safe sex yanno. I haven't seen anyone arguing for 5 year-olds to have sex BTW. That is another strawman argument.

Do you know how many people won't do it because it is illegal? Alot more than you think!!! Just because you and your whore friends get jacked all the time and it is illegal doesn't mean that you still should not do it. ~!

Why do you want every fornicator to go to prison?

Are you a fascist or totalitarian?

Most kids don't even know it's illegal by the law.

What are you gonna do? put cameras in every square foot & send the SWAT team after every fornicator?

Calling people names does NOTHING to your "argument". When was the last time that you've ever heard of two minors being arrested for having sex?? Making something as harmless as safe sex "illegal" will just encourage more people to try it out.

That does not prove that it should be legal. It proves that it is not monitored or enforced properly.

This is the last time I'm gonna tell you.

Nobody wants to snoop in bedrooms. Nobody wants to arrest everyone who's had underage sex as that would mean most of the people in the country. Nobody wants them to go to jail.

Just cause you might think they're nice doesn't mean they can't break the law. lol. idiot.

I agree you should leave them alone, i mean the boy and girl are making the decision and if they want to have sex let them. If the guy doesn't wear a condom and the girl gets pregnant then it's their own fault and they should have to take care of the baby. :)

No it should diffidently be not illegal because the government has no right to tell us that we cant have sexual affairs with a boy and a girl. The government is already telling us that we cant even be married to the same sex and now they want us to wait until we are old enough that bull!!

Sex between / with minors has been made an illegal act by the society for very good reasons.. Sex is an important decision, and may have undesirable consequences in the long run for the minors and need the maturity of an adult for their own good.

Its interesting that we want to make all types of politically incorrect activities like smoking illegal because of the cost to society but no one seems to want to attach that logic to this activity!

I say yes it should be illegal

But according to those who are for homosexuality the answer should be no.

Why?

Underage sex doesn't hurt anybody.

If two people want to do it they should.

Its their own bodies.

What they do only affects them.

As long as they practice safe sex..

The kind who knows that kidds that are 14 years old should not be having sex. A girl having a guy's dick shoved into her vagina is some kind of stress to her body that NO 14, 15, 16, or even 17 year old should experience. And you know he isn't going to be gentle. He doesn't know the difference from her screaming 'yes, yes, more more' and her going 'no no stop'. Cuz they are KIDDS!!! They don't have the self control. That is why you are not allowed to leave your parents until you are 18. ~! V

So, we know where you stand on this whole thing. If it was your son shoving his dick into some girls vagina or your daughter vagina getting a dick shoved into it, you would be totally cool with it... when he or she was 14. What about if they were 16? You tell me~! V

There is a legal age limit for a reason. People often regret decisions they made rather hastily as a teenager. Also, teen pregnancy is currently a huge issue. If you make it OK to have sex underage this problem will only get worse. Teen pregnancy is also proof that many underage are not ready to make a responsible choice.
