Perhaps there are better answers here: http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm\n\nEach state has different laws. And why are you so curious Mya? Not planning on breaking any laws are you? haha

No, they are accurate.  Sorry, even back then 9 was still to young to have sex and 6 was WAY too young to get married.  I am thinking the age was 11 or 12 to be considered an adult and be married.

The answer is now 15 years of age.\n\nyesterday, they passed a bill unamiously to prevent anyone under the age of 15 to get married.\n\nStrangely they will let minors 15, 16 and 17 to get married.\n\nEDIT: Added a source to read more about it.

Dont be in a hurry. You are still very young. It is not worth getting into trouble at such an early age.  You need to wait until you get involved sexually with anyone. I am not sure where you are located. but hopefully you will not get into trouble for anythign illegal.

Missouri has one of the weirdest laws anywhere.  Basically, if both people are under the age of 21, the age of consent is 14.   If one of the partners is 21 or older, the age of consent is 17.

it really depends on the state they live in.  \nA common misconception about statutory rape is that there is a single age at which an individual can legally consent to sexual activity. In fact, only 12 states have a single age of consent; in these states, this age ranges from 16 to 18 years old. In the remaining states, the age of consent depends on one or more of the following factors: age differences between the partners, the age of the victim, and the age of the defendant. \nSome states have a single age of consent. In those states, a male or female under age 18 cannot consent to sex, regardless of the age of the other party. Thus, sexual relations between two 17-year-olds would be illegal, as would relations between a 17-year-old and a 25-year-old. \nYou need to check your local laws to see if the relationship is legal.  These laws are easily available online.  Just google "statutory rape" and the name of your state.

Anytime she wants, if this is very young hopefully not having sex at a young age as they do not have very much life experience and knowledege of STDs and relationships etc. \nI would say ideally around 14/15 or older but only with people the same age, is if they are older they could take advantage and is very illegal. You should only start having sex when you feel that you know enough about it and that you are physically ready.

It's unlawful to have sex with someone under 18, being as he is older but still a minor he still could be charged with rape. When your both over 18 and adults then your legal.

When you become sexually active or when you turn 18, whichever comes first

not at all. sex is so taboo for some reason in the US, but it is such a natural thing. as long as you are protecting yourself, you should have as much sex while you can. sex is awesome!

I think in the U.S the current age is 26 for females and 27 for males ( first marriage that is)

In Hawaii and Canada the age of consent is 14..\n\nYou best check with the laws in your state.\n\nIn some States, it is considered Stuatory Rape.\n\nIn others, it is Child Abuse...\n\nBut a couple states allow the age of consent to be 14, but only if the partner is below a certain age which is usually below 18 or below 16.\n\nSome states allow younger ages if Parental consent is granted, but the couple must be married.\n\nIn Hawaii and Canada the age of consent is 14..\n\nBelow is a State by state Chart of Ages of consent for Sex. (not ages different for homosexual sex).

Whoa, cowboy...just a point of order here, to keep someone out of trouble.  The whole "over 16" thing may be true in some states, but nobody here should think it applies in California.\n\nBecause it ain't so.\n\nIn California, you must be 18 and older to legally have sex.  Does not matter who consents to what.  End of story.\n\nMy apologies to the asker...this is not an answer to the original question and I probably should be made to forfeit two points just for doing it.\n\nOkay, let's look at the question:\n\nHmph.  Does not say what I thought it did.  In court, this question would be responded to with this; "Objection.  Assumes facts not in evidence."\n\nIn other words, the asker of this question is stating as fact that a man who sleeps with another man's wife (with her consent) can be charged (with what we do not know, but we'll assume a crime).  Therein lies the "fact" which is not in evidence yet.\n\nIn California, it never will be.  Two consenting adults can do doggone near anything they want to in California...the more I think of it, when it comes to sex they *can* do anything they want, as long as both (all?) agree.  \n\nSo the question, at least in my state, is flawed.  It states that a man can be charged for humping someone else's wife and that isn't true.  Therefore, a woman wouldn't be charged with humping someone's husband for the same reason...it's legal in this state.\n\nEven further, now that I think about it:\n\nIf we're talking about legally married spouses, then it's probable that someone could legally have sex at an age less than 18 in this state.  You can't legally marry until you are 18 OR with...umm...something... parental permission or emancipation, I think.  If you're emancipated, you can have sex as far as I know.  Not sure about the parental permission for marriage equalling the right to hump.\n\nBizarre question.\n\nEven more bizzare answer.

For people under 18 it means "going out"... Any age over that means sex.

People don't understand the context of difrent nations and stuff. For the most part people in the US and other contrues with similar laws are fully prepared for life and aware of all the problems that can come with sexual activity and the fact there can be compilcations with pegancies that young... so it's iligal for anyone to have sex with some one under 18 now if your over 18.\n\nIt's felt they are taking advantage of the persons nivity.\n\nHowever other contries, and even the US up untill about 100 years or so ago. It was exspected for people to be prepared for life and know thise kinda things MUCH younger and they where exspected to start there life sooner too. So boys where/are exspected to start looking for a wife as early as 11~15 and marry as soon as posable.\n\n\n\nI agree that taking advanage of younger teens and what not is wrong. But people tend to forget in the past and in other countries kids aren't as nivie at that age.
