what would you have done?

k, i havent had sex for like 2 years or something maybe longer hahaha... so u could imagine what my harmones are like,
k, i went to this rave the other night last friday LOL and there was this 16 year old harsh grinding up against me. I was being distant and pushing her away cuz im 25 right. So later that night after the rave i went home all by myself i beat myself over why didnt i pick her up... oh yeah cuz im not a pedophile! so i kept beating myself over it. I even talked to friends and ****, i was playing the what if game. All they asked me "was she hot?" LOL does that even matter?
obvisiously my buddy's has no problem with age. So im beating myself over this i know i did the right thing but what would u have done? LOL

I wouldn't dance with a sixteen year old.
I wouldn't be attracted to a sixteen year old.
so of course,
I wouldn't **** a sixteen year old.
male or female.

Yes, you did the right thing. I'm all for peace, love, unity, and respect, but I would not have sex with a prostitot.

depends upon the emotional maturity,

some 16 year old females probably have equivalent emotional maturity to some 25 year old males

if she felt too 'young' for you, than your maturity level probably dictates you did the right thing

What's the legal age of consent in the US?

I forget....

Under 18 is considered a minor, no matter what her maturity level is... you did the right thing.

If you got caught with her you would have to register everywhere you go as a sexual predator, for the rest of your life....not worth the short amount of time you would have spent with her.

It's different in different states. Here in Tx it's 17. But, there's an exception for people within two years of age.

I dont know is a 10 year difference really
considered a pedophile? like my foster mom
and dad; they have a 10 year difference. i
think my mom was older so what does that make
her? watch out i would of found out she was 18
LOL.

Pedophilia is the sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children. Being attracted to a 16 year old, especially one who is behaving provocatively, is not pedophilia.

However, as a 25 year old, it would be illegal to have sex with her in most states. It would be statutory rape. Even if it was legal, it would be inappropriate. In my opinion.

Good thing too,cause if you did and they catch you and throw you in jail,you WILL get raped and/or killed once prisoner`s find out what you did.

wait? what? a 16yo grinding out at a rave? you jest! ha! you did the right thing, plenty other raves and chances. off topic sorta...into dubstep?

Make her pinky swear that when she is "legal", you get to "tap dat azz".

Me being me all jacked up at a rave....


I woulda turned her inside out and given her a fake name...

but, that's just me.

(Having flashbacks to halloweens of years gone by)

I think you did the right thing here. Better than getting that Peadophile report.

I'm only of the tender age of 21, if I really liked her and she was totally up for it then sure, I would've gone there.

16 ain't that young, kids do stuff much younger than that, though my real limit is 18, I would stretch the limit if I liked her enough or was dying for it.

What is Statutory Rape?

Statutory rape occurs when a person over the age of consent engages in sexual intercourse with someone under the statutory age of consent. In most states, the age of consent has been arbitrarily designated by statute. However, this age of consent varies widely from state to state. Statutory rape is a strict liability crime, meaning that the consent of the younger person or mistake about their age is not a defense.

What is The Age of Consent?

Federal law makes it criminal to knowingly engage in a sexual act with another person who is between the age of 12 and 16 if they are at least four years younger than you. Each state takes a different approach as the age of consent has ranged from 10 to 18. Some states, such as California and New York, set an age at which all sexual intercourse is considered statutory rape. For example, a state might set the age of consent at 18. In this hypothetical state, two seventeen year olds who had consensual sex could both theoretically be convicted of statutory rape.

Other states imply a different method which, like the federal statute, takes into account the relative ages of both people. In these states, such as Texas, the age of consent is determined by age differentials between the two persons and limited by a minimum age. For example, a state might set a minimum age of 14, but limit consent to partners who are within 3 years of their age. This would allow a sixteen year old to lawfully have sex with a fourteen year old, but make it criminal for an eighteen year old to have sex with that same fourteen year old.

Examples of different state's statutory ages of consent:

California - The age of consent in California is 18. It is illegal for anyone to engage in sexual intercourse with a minor (someone under the age of 18), unless they are that person's spouse. California employs a tiered system where the greater the difference in age, the greater the penalty. If the person engaging in sex with a minor is less than 3 years older or younger than the minor, then they are guilty of a misdemeanor. If they are more than 3 years older than the minor then they are guilty of a felony. Those over the age of 21 engaging in sex with those under 16 are subjected to more harsh penalties.

Florida - The age of consent in Florida is 18. It is illegal for anyone over the age of 24 to have sex with anyone under the age of 18, unless they are married.

Illinois - The age of consent in Illinois is 17. It is illegal to have sex with someone under the age of 18 if you are more than 5 years older than the minor.

New York - The age of consent is 17. It is illegal for anyone to have sex with someone under the age of 17.

Texas -The age of consent is 17. The minimum age is 14 with an age differential of 3 years; thus, those who are at least 14 years of age can legally have sex with those less than 3 years older.

People still go to raves?

He's from Canada....they didn't get the memo yet about raves being passé.

Wow, that story is a bit disturbing.

Thanks Ruth.
