6:09 Saturday Evening The Legal Consent age is 16, for sex. And yet you have to be 18 to get in the sex shops, to buy the toys and get porn. Why do you have to be 18 to get porn but it's alright if you have full-on, consental sex when you're 16? "Because you should be an adult to buy such adult things." But shouldn't you also be an adult to have sex, then? I just don't understand.
