Dont forget the fact you cant buy a porno mag in the UK until youre 18,so you can do it at 16 ,but cant look at it.I dont have a problem,i was 17 before i lost my virginity,so who cares.

My husband has lived in CA for all his life and obviously doesn't realise the different age limits for various States ... everytime we talk about this subject he always goes on about how disgusting it is that in the UK we allow children to have sex ... can't wait to tell him that certain parts of the US are just as disgusting as the UK! lolAs for my husband's mates ... I don't think they are all that bad, but I think some men like the idea of a girl who is young (I know I was 'chatted up' by enough 'older' men that should have known better when I was young!) - I think it's just one of those things ... much like a lot of men having the same fantasy of two women ... .... blah, blah!

Also I've found that Americans also forget I am a foreigner here for the same reasons. And because of this it really does come as quite a shock when it turns out that thngs are done differently here to back in Blighty. Anyway that was my 2 pence or cents (or maybe its 3.6 cents due to the exchange rate?).. Back to the bitching.

On the other hand here (in New Jersey, don't know about other states) you can have half-naked 18 year olds pole-dancing and lap-dancing in 'Gentlemen's clubs' (and presumably getting $ tips stuffed down their bras and knickers.....yet they can't have a beer 'cos they're under-aged LOL!
