Why is it a “crime” for a grown up man to have sex with a younger girl?

If you asked to explain a simple thing about electricity, most of these people would not have a clue. You are asking Human sexuality, one of the most complex subjects in existence, and all these people are so certain that they have the right answer for you!!!\n\nWhile the natural science has freed itself from the domination of religions, the area of human sexuality is still in the Dark Ages. These people could just as well be quoting the Bible and Quran and telling you that the Earth is flat.\n\nI command your courage to explore, to stand up against the whole culture, and to chose for yourself, rather than being dominated by other people’s judgments. We need more people like you, to grow up and be free. Only then we will have a free country, and a free world.\nAnd even if you make mistakes, there is no problem; this is the only way to grow and learn. It is much better to make your own mistakes than to blindly following the opinions of others, and the religious commands.

There is NO WAY ON EARTH that a 14 year old should be going out with an 18 year old.  It is not "against the law" to date, but anything sexual with him is a crime (for him, not for you).

Probably because this issue is a political hot potato.  Even if many people agree that age of consent laws should be changed or other legislative reform introduced, no one dares speak up on the issue for fear of being branded a pedophile or child molester.  We should be able to have a rational debate about important issues like this, but, especially in the United States, it is too much of a political and emotionally charged issue.  Other countries have more sensible laws on the books, but I doubt that the United States will ever adopt them because of the Christian Fundamentalist and Conservative elements in American society.

it's prefectly legal if not a bit strange. the maturity levels between a 15 year old and a 12 year old are pretty different. the only legal problem that could arise is if after 3 years if they are still dating and the 18 yr old and 15 yr old have sex and are caught, that would be statutory rape.

Older men like younger women to make themselves feel young as others have said. But if the girl is a lot younger it makes the man seem even older and other people will think he is the girl's father. They might think the girl is only after the guy's money. Let's face it, just as a man doesn't want a woman who looks old, a young woman won't want some old guy's wrinkled old a-ss either. An age difference of 10 years is still ok but anything more than that starts to become inappropriate. And let's not overlook older women. I've seen some very hot older women out there.

In today's world, it means that a bunch old men should have sex sex with innocent and young girls. \nBack then, IDK. I hope it doesn't mean the same thing.

Not under law between two consenting adults. Though it is with a prostitute.\nMOST IMPORTANT THING:\nGOD DOES NOT SANCTION ADULTERY.

It depends alot on the circumstances involved. Incest happens. There is such a thing as "age appropropriate" sexual experimentation between siblings. This isn't wrong - it's just natural human behavior. There are instances in which the child intentionally seduces a parent, the child knows what he/she is doing, and the parent succumbs to temptation. These are the cases that the rest of the family almost always pushes under the rug if they find out about it and the child admits the intent. This doesn't make it right, but I personally feel that the criminal penalty shouldn't be as severe as if the child were only a ten year old who didn't know any better.\n   I think statutory rape, assuming both parties were willing participants, is a witch-hunt charge. If the older party was within three years older than the younger party - there shouldn't be grounds for staturory rape.\n    I think people get way too caught up in trying to regulate the sexuality of others. In the process, they punish most severely the thing that appeals to them most.\nThere isn't a single one of our 40+ yr old congressmen or legislators that would not like to enjoy the sexual pleasures  of a sixteeen yr old hottie - but in order to hide their desire from the public they come out hardest on the thing they desire most.\n    I think our country needs to be alot more liberal in the sexual arena, and they have to stop letting the moral minority make the rules for the majority. But, that being said, I also think that anytime a vulnerable person (under 14, retarded, confined, etc.), is taken advantage of by an authority figure, parent, or other adult it is wrong. And any type of sexual activity in which only one party is capable of or willing to give their informed consent is wrong... so if you talk to yourself when you masturbate be sure to say yes.

Only you know.  Would it matter if it is a younger girl?  Why would turning 18 have anything to do with if he would cheat?

its not your sisters fault.... it is the law....   he knew he was breaking it......\n\nif he won't speak to her anymore...then he is probably just being cautious about getting caught in bed with her again......  because talking leads to other things a lot of the time.....\n\nhe may very well get locked up.....\n\n18 and 15...i don't see anything wrong with it...... but it is illegal.... 3 years age difference is nothing at that age... now if he was 14 and she was 11 there would be a problem.....

Its easy to assume a man won't be sexual if he doesn't have his nads.  The problem is that most sex crimes are not about sex, they're about control-dominance.  I believe they should be castrated for the deterrant effect, but I don't assume he'll be safe around vulnerable just because he's missing the equipment to make it sexual.

Depending on when the sexual intercourse occurred, the man may not have committed any offence. Under Singapore's Penal Code, it is statutory rape if a man has sex with a girl under the age of 14, with or without her consent. It is also an offence if he has sex with a girl older than 14 but below the age of 16; this is covered by the Woman's Charter and is called carnal connection.\n\nEven if the man does not have a criminal case to answer to, the girl can always sue him in civil court for maintenance. Of course, the legal process would be complicated, requiring the girl to prove the baby is the man's. If this is your chosen option, I would advise you to consult a lawyer.

I think unibear speaks of the other way around - a teenage girl sexually assaulting an older man.\n\nTruth be told, any time a man is sexually assaulted by a woman, it is not reported. Most men would feel humiliated to report that a woman took advantage of them. But it does happen, and occasionally you hear of it. You can read news articles in my sources links, but a teenage woman, well it could be that a young girl ties up an older man and then has their way with them ... but the man in this case is probably partaking in something that would get him in a lot of trouble if caught, so the chances of him reporting anything is slim.\n\nps, a commmon misconception is that men cannot be raped because he'd have to be "willing". This is not really true, as I'm sure some people know - a man's plumbing is not really tied to his brain, and men can become "willing" with some stimuli even if they're brain is saying not to.

I think if 22 year old janitor had sex with a girl under the age of 16 years then it doesnt matter as to whether she gave him consent, it's still classed as rape (well over in England it is) so for him to get away with it they must've been 16+. If the girls were that old then it sound like they're just seeking for some attention and trying to get him into trouble, maybe because they're jelous, feel used or just bored and attention seeking type of girls. Either way i hope you and your mates are fully aware of keeping out his car!

Goodness gracious.. who cares how old he is, I would like to know why he's still able to have crazy sex with women only a quarter his age!

Actually it is the other way round. It is because of the social (or whatever you want to call it) 'revolution' in the US, that you ask this question at all. \n\nThe fact is that most people don't know how to 'use' this "greatest experience". It is in fact great, but from my own experience I can say, that the first time (I was 14) meant pretty much nothing and, until I got into a real relationship at 18 (I don't think the exact age is significant) it still wasn't, what it can be. \n\nAt the same time, to tell who is ready when is impossible. It really shouldn't be controlled by law, but since Americas population is quite crooked THIS IS FOR YOUR PROTECTION. If it wasn't illegal, how could you put in jail the filthy bastards, that take advantage of young girls. In the old times, this was not a question, in a good community, the family and friends, would just beat the guy to death.\n\n+ Of course most people at young age are careless. I know of many girls, who ruined their lives at very young age, because of a night with a guy. I would like to see statistics on how many of these guys stick with the girl and help raising the child. The results of this are terrible, I know from my own experience, that it is almost impossible for a young mother to raise a child alone properly.\nI just want to mention the sexual diseases, that are also a great threat.
