I, in all my infinite wisdom, have become confuddled. I am not sure about othe countries, but here in Canada the age of consent for sexual activity is 16. Now, my question is, If a 16 year old may engage in sexual acts then why are they forbidden to watch pornography under law until they reach 18?

You'd think it would be the other way around, you know to make sure they don't make complete asses of themselves in the bedroom.

...you mean I'm actually supposed to say "Excuse me, Mrs. Johnson, but I have a package for you"?!

Younger kids are more likely to distribute porn to their friends? I dunno. Maybe that was their reasoning. :p

Yea, but porn may get their hopes up and expect to have wild crazy sex when the Pizza/Plumber/Cable/other random service person comes over. Or that their sexy co-worker may want to have naughty office sex, thus leading them to a lifetime of disappointment in the sex department.

It seems to me that people make asses of themselves in the bedroom precisely when they've watched too much pornography!

Hmm...so they actually want people to have sex experience before 18...

Sounds like that makes up for all the cool things about your country, eh?

I don't think anyone's claiming they do - not in the 'information age,' with the internet and all. :p

Infinite wisdom...
-If that was true the world would be doomed, and then my Opa could argue about pre-marital sex with us anymore.

confuddled...
-Thats not a word your allowed to use...

they forbidden to watch pornography under law until they reach 18...
-Does it stop us at all? I mean cmon, when you where over all we... well all YOU did (corrects self) was watch me work my ass off in 33 degree heat.

SIDE NOTE: Sam, wearing a bikini as you suntan in a lawnchair while you watch me work doesnt help me concentrate very well...

Hmmm let me guess something: it's the same reason why you can not buy a cell phone without your parents' consent at that age? Because you are not fully mature. So it is not an issue of to screw or not to screw but it is an issue about being old enough to understand what a contract means.

I thought the age of consent was 14 here. The Conservative government want to raise it to 16, but have they done that?
