I do think most under 16's are too emotionally immature for sex. Now before people shout me dow I said most, not all. However the government has to have a cut off point somewhere.
With respect to age differences some things just sound plain wrong, like a 14 year old with a 20 year old or something. There's just an enormous difference of life experience between those ages, and I really can't see why a 20 year old would wat to go out with a 14 year old, unless he had paedophilic tendencies.
That said,even some over 16 relationships with major age differences seem slightly wrong to me. I have a friend (he's gay), he's 16 but he goes out with like 45 year old guys, some of them are older than his dad. I think 2 people should be equals in a relationship and if ones a responsible adult and the others technically still a child, how do you get an equal balace of power?
