I thought it was 14 if the two people were similiar in age, like 14 and 19. But 14 and 50 was out. So what does raising it to 16 do?
No, you are mistaken
The legal age of consent for sex is 14. If one is under 14, it is also legal for that person to have sex as long as the partner is within 2 years of age.
under 18, over 14... you may not take photos / video (naked or of a sexual nature), or pay (money, food, alcohol, etc) them for sex... and it is illegal for anyone under 18 to have anal sex
If you can find a willing 14 year old, why not?!
