In any event your comment seems odd, when most, if not all, of the members here are, in one way or another, looking for sex with younger guys. Can I assume that you are only looking for companions of your own age? 18-30 is good for me. I'm in my 30s. Just to answer your question. Sounds to me like you shop on age. True colours bro.

omega Posted June 17 Posted June 17 On 6/14/2024 at 10:21 PM, Keithambrose said: Under English law, sex with a minor under 16 is statutory rape. This is the case in other common law jurisdictions. In seven EU states the age of consent is 14. In Roman law a girl could marry at 12, a boy at 14. To be the pedant, you're not quite correct on the statutory rape in English law. That applies to sex with children under 13. Where the sexual contact was 'consensual', in so far as a young teenager (13 -15) can give consent, it is considered sexual activity with a child, and punished less severely. While I mostly agree with gayinpattaya, I think there is a big distinctions to make between 16+, 18+, and 21+. Olddaddy 1 Quote

"...For the purposes of this law, illicit sexual conduct is defined as commercial sex with or sexual abuse of anyone under 18, or any sex with anyone under 16...". Quote
