  1. Paedophiles are sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. At 16, she may be young, and you may frown upon their relationship and her being sexually active, but she is not pre-pubescent and thereforeeee he is not a paedophile. And if she is over the age of consent for where she lives, it is her right to have sex.
  2. If it's an infection, you'll need tablets to clear it up. Doctors are there to help you get better, even if all that's wrong with you is a dodgy toe! Go and see your doc now, before ths NHS is sold off and you have to pay!
  3. I think that mariage can be defined however you want it to be. Each to their own! With regards to natural contraceptives, i don't doubt for a minute that they exist. Nature holds the answer for most things, if only people today would give it a chance. The example of the prostitutes is really interesting, it seems there may be a practical experiment going on in the world today of this method of birth control proving effective. And i for one would be much happier with a naturally occurring contraceptive, so long as it was proved effective, than some pill that messes up my hormone production.
  4. Wow, loads of responses! Thanks everyone for sharing your views Quite a few people have mentionned the grey area between 16 and 18, and i think that this is the area the discussion is tryin to clear up. I personally think that once a person is over the age of consent, whatever that is where they live, then they should be allowed to make your own decisions about who you should date. A paedophile is, in my opinion, someone who preys on pre-pubescent children, not an adult who dates and has a relationship with another person who is legally allowed to give their consent in having sex. Surely giving people below the age of consent the power to consent to sex completely undermines the idea of having an age of consent? Again, thank you to everyone who has already responded to this thread!
  5. In the newspaper article i read, they wanted a 7 year limit on everyone under 21, so if they got their way (which isn't likely, but i thought it might make an interesting discussion) then yeah, that would be an illegal relationship. In the UK, anyone over 16 can date whoever they want, with a few expections for people in positions of trust (teachers and policemen etc) where the girl must be at least 18, so i just thought this sounded like a really strange proposal.
  6. I never understood why 'diet' drinks are so popular. Yeah, they've only got 0.1 calories per tonne or whatever, but the chemicals they have to pack it with to make it taste anything like sweet. Same with 'lite' crisps, to cover the fact that there was less fat, the salt content went skyrocketing. I think it's becoming so that the only safe things to eat are things you grow yourself!
  7. There's alot of talk in the UK at the moment about how to classify someone as a 'paedophile'. There's been talk of imposing limits of a 7 year age gap for under 21s, so a 17year old couldn't legally date anyone over 24. Likewise a 20 year old couldn't date a 27 year old. Is a 17 year old still a 'child', and would anyone aged over 24 and in a relationship with a 17 year old still a paedophile? There's also been a blurring of the line around what age a girl can legally have sex, so for example, 15 year old girl and 17 year old boy would be ok, but 15 year old girl and 18 year old boy wouldn't be ok, and the boy could theoretically be charged with paedophilia and put on the sex offenders register. (age of consent in UK is 16) I was discussing this on the way home today, and i just wondered what people's opinions were. Bear in mind that none of this is in the process of becoming law, i just wondered what people's opinions would be, especially as such a change in the law would make alot of relationships illegal. At what point is someone a paedophile, and do you think there is any logic in imposing restrictions on girls over the age of consent? Where would you personally draw the line, if you think one should be drawn at all?
  8. It's only natural for 15 year old boys to want sex from relationships. 12 and 15 year olds dating would be a slippery slope to the sex offenders register if you weren't very careful. Leave it till she's 15 or so, then maybe reconsider, but to be honest, the chances are you'll both have found someone else you want to be with.
  9. A woman is not always capable of defending herself against an attacker. It's just the way it is. And what percentage of rape victims do you hear saying they enjoyed being raped? Sexual assault, and sometimes just sexual contact, can lead to tensing of the vaginal muscles, making penetration incredibly painful for the woman. i can see the logic in most of what your saying, but there are some circumstances where it is not possible to defend yourself. And shouting isn't really going to stop someone raping you, especially is it's an isolated place. Blaming the victim doesn't justify rape. Sexual assault is sexual assault. What are the chances, seriously, of an attacker stopping attacking the woman because she cries out. In some cases, that would probably spur them on! The only thing i was trying to point out with these passages from Deuteronomy was the point that i personally wouldn't follow everything in the bible to the letter, which was regarding a comment that was made about oral sex being an unholy act. I still don't understand why the Old testament would be a part of the bible if your supposed to ignore the rules set in it. Why keep what's out of date?
  10. i don't disagree, but in that case, why is the old testament still part of the holy book? surely you can't pick and choose which bits to follow based on which bits you like and which bits you don't. these passages still come from the bible.
  11. The bible also says that a woman who is raped becomes the property of the rapist, and it is her fault for not crying out as he raped her. (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT) If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her. (Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB) If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife. your own moral code should be based upon your own morals, and what you feel comfortable with. Don't let one book rule your whole life. i believe in God, but not really in the bible, and it's quotes like this that made that the case for me. Oral sex can be a beautifully intimate act between two people, married or not.
  12. The bible teaches that you shouldn't have sex out of wedlock, but then alot of men in the old testament had wives, female servants and concubines, all of whom they slept with and had children with. This is just one of those things that always confused me. if you want to be celibate because you think your relationship will benefit from it, then fair enough, but sex out of wedlock in a biblical sense doesn't really exist, as those who sleep together are married in the eyes of god. just my thoughts
  13. I dont think the age gap is neccessarily the issue. falling in 'love' after a couple of days of online talkin sounds like the problem. Although i suppose in his favour he didn't lie and say he was a 17 year old boy. Maybe you just need to go with her (if you can) when she meets him, and let her make her own decisions/mistakes.
  14. By nature, people want to interact and be accepted by other people. Well, most do anyway. And when you find someone who can walk by your side through anything and everything life throws at you, then it was worth all the hassle you went through to find them. if you spent all your time alone, then eventually life would get very lonely. One of the greatest punishments for people of all ages is to be placed in solitary confinement. we're social creatures, it's what we do i guess.
  15. i'm 17, and my boyf is 29. 12 year age gap and we get along fine. Age is only as relevant as you let it be. I will be goin to uni next year, and he works everyday, but so far it is working for us. We've been together 10 months now, but we've known each other for a good couple of years As long as you and this guy hav similar attitudes and you complement each other, age isn't a problem if you don't want it to be. Good luck
