Age of consent in Canada is 14 :http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/frame/...l=L&statuteyear=all&lengthannual=50&length=50johnhenrygalt said:The age of consent is 16 years provided the other party is not in a position of authority vis-à-vis the younger party. If such an authority relationship exists, age of consent is 18.
For 12 and 13 year olds, the prohibition is waived if the other party is less than 2 years older and not in a position of authority vis-a-vis the younger party.
For 14 and 15 year olds, the age of consent is waived if the other party is less than 5 years older and not in a position of authority
Age of consent for anal intercourse is 18. The age of consent is waived if engaged in between "husband and wife".
IMO, under current Supreme Court constitutional decisions, the caveat for "husband and wife" would be read by the courts as to include married homosexual partners. This is only my learned opinion, and until the courts pronounce on the issue, it is only speculation.
The ages of consent for homosexuals are the same as for heterosexuals - no distinction is drawn. A 16 year old can legally consent to homosexual sex provided no anal intercourse is involved. The age of consent for anal intercourse applies to homosexuals and heterosexuals alike. The term "anal intercourse" has not been decided judicially, but it likely requires penile penetration. Analingus is not intercourse, nor IMO digital penetration. I won't venture a guess as to how the courts would treat penetration with a penis substitute (vibrator, strap-on, cucumber).
There is an additional restriction on all anal intercourse. For it to be legal, it must be engaged "in private".
And "... an act shall be deemed not to have been engaged in in private if it is engaged in in a public place or if more than two persons take part or are present"
So ladies and gentlemen, if you are in a threesome, anal intercourse is a criminal offense. Incidentally, due to this provision, a majority of porn videos shot in Canada involve the actor and actress committing a criminal offense, as the presence of the cameraman makes the anal intercourse illegal. I doubt this law has ever been enforced.

That's 30K in lifetime (of the business) earnings, not 30K per year.
But that incentive is already there.guelph said:You would have an open source of income, for credit purposes & create rrsp room
I remember when they were talking about changing the age of consent but I do not remember it getting passed.enduser1 said:Uhm its sixteen now. That law was changed very recently.

I think the reason they changed or changing the age of consent is because people are living longer now. When the 14 threshold was established 300 years ago, I think the life expectancy was only 44 years so you only had 30 years to get all your sex in. Now the life expectancy is 80 years so 16 for a starting age sounds reasonable. But, consent in the eyes of the law is meaningless in a car, an SC, an MP or an Incall.naughtylady said:I remember when they were talking about changing the age of consent but I do not remember it getting passed.
Thank goodness we don't live in the U.S. Wasn't there a recent case where a 19 year old male got a life sentence because he received oral sex from a younger woman? Also, is sex between a black man and a white woman still illegal in some U.S. southern states?johnhenrygalt said:The effect is that a 14 year old can legally consent to sex (other than anal intercourse), but only with someone less than 5 years her (or his) senior.
I just came across this news item on the subject, and share an excerpt and link:4player said:I've been wondering what would change in general if there were no laws against or limits to prostitution here in canada or in western society in general. No need for red light districts, no raids, no john schools... etc.
How would things be different? Would more women go into the sex trade as a profession? Would prices go up or down? Would George Brown offer a diploma course on SP'ing? Would escorts/sp's form a trade union? Would there be a reality game show series?
I think it'd be awesome but I'd love to hear some ideas.
