Would you have consensual sex with a minor, assuming you'd never get caught?

It's not my fault I'm not 30 yet and still wanting to bang minors.

No, the point is that nobody in their right mind would consider an 18 year old having sex with a 17 year old "banging a minor." The question of the thread was one where the act of having sex with a minor would be something looked down upon by society, and if you're only a few years different in age, society doesn't give a crap.

It is a fact that sex causes changes to the body, hormones to be released, physical changes take place, and that it affects the brain as well. Especially if someone is a virgin.

Are you suggesting that because to some people sex is not a big deal, it's ok to trample onto someone's sexual space who very likely has no idea what sex means to them yet? Who almost certainly has no idea what they are getting into? You're the adult in this situation, act like one.

What I am saying is that some people like to screw or be screwed just for the fun of it without feeling the need to attach emotional baggage to the ordeal. That includes the youngsters.

Actually, even though marrying extremely young has been practiced in many cultures, they usually kept the kids separate until they were old enough to have kids without medical complications. Generally 17 or 18. So yeah, morals haven't changed all that much.

I can't see myself having sex with a minor either, BTW.

Yes. And what I'm saying is most youngsters have no idea what they want, especially on something like sex. Do you really think most people view things the same way at the ages of 15 and 25? So why would anyone with a conscious take advantage of that?

Do you really think most people view things the same way at the ages of 25 and 35? how about 35 and 45? Maybe no one should have sex. They might grow up and change their mind omfg :eek:

Maybe. But I can think of one thing that has changed the way people date. The car.

Back before most families had a car, the closest thing you had to a date was your family and the young ladies family eating together after church. There were good and bad things about this. For one, you had a chance to see what you were marrying into from the get go. You also got to see what that person may grow up to look like. The bad thing was that if your parents didn't like your girls parents they could put a stop to you ever seeing her again. Secondly, this helped keep some form of social class in the US. The rich Howells were not going to be having Sunday lunch with BillyBob and his wonderful farm bread family.

Minor? No. Not even with Caifornia's 2 year leeway laws. A cougar? I have in the past and yes, I'd do it again.

Any better word than a cougar? Sounds like a furry invention to me.

"I realized all of that, I was just being silly."

Thanks for clarifying Mr K. That is indeed an unusual story and I gotta say I was pretty worried that I'd be feeding myself to the wolves in telling it and explaining my moral stance on the issue. Silliness is great, but having the few people at TNL whom I respect (you're one of 'em) think I'm some creepy pedophile would suck.

You sure about that? I and many other people have never owned a car and still haven't had trouble meeting girls. What you're describing is more a shift towards urbanization as opposed to vehicle innovations - it's real easy to meet previously unknown women when you're in a city and there are loads of them within easy walking distance.

I'm talking about on a grand national level, not about those lucky enough to live in a city. You do realize that before cars and trucks became widely available most people lived spread out from each other and the only time they got together in large groups was for church, marriages, and court actions, right?

Do I need to go into detail on how urbanization as you know it, was made possible by the automobile or does that go with out saying?

Also would you like to talk about how most women were not allowed to wonder around for you to meet them, or would the fact that is a social issue only complicate this?
