Age of consent.........................anyone? Well this seems to depend on what part of the world you are... But even then that differs as America or the USof ****ing A, seem to vary from state to state, which must make it even more confusing as a young horny rampant teenager, or Gary Glitter on holiday. Now the Vatican state, the age is 12................****ing 12, in the home of the pope??????????????????????? Many countries seem to differ as to if you are male or female....................bit unjust. And still a few places where same sex is illegal..... It's a long table, but proves what a difference there is through-out the world... Should there be a world-wide decision on this, or would that be an intrusion on people religion and beliefs etc? Anyway if interested have a look.. ...............................................

Find it hilarious/tragic (don't know which) that there are a handful of countries that don't allow gay sex but do allow lesbian sex
