What does the international community think about this? See Act for further details:

11. Legal Age Act

1 It is illegal for Person A to

(a)use their mouth to make contact with any genital area of Person B
(b)use any of their own genital areas to make contact with any genital area
of Person B
(c)touch, with any part of their hand, any genital area of Person B

unless

(d)both Person A and Person B have reached puberty, OR
(e)both Person A and Person B have NOT reached puberty,

AND

(h)unforced, untricked, unpressured consent has been willingly and freely
given by both Person A and Person B

2 Any person who has not reached puberty or who is under the influence of any type of drug (this includes alcohol) is to be considered incapable of giving free and willing consent. Any clause in the Illegal Sexual Act Act does not affect this Act

PENALTY: For no consent, where both persons have not reached puberty, first offence: Unoffical Caution from the Office of Safety, with clear explanation as to how bad the crime was and why it was so bad. For no consent, where both have not reached puberty, second offence: As for first offence, except: Official Office of Safety Caution and warning that next time they may go to a Youth Prison. For no consent, where both persons have not reached puberty, third offence: one month in Youth Prison. Any further offences: Sentence to be decided by jury. For where one person has reached puberty and one person has not reached puberty, but "consent" has been given: First Offence: 6 months imprisonment. Second Offence: Twenty Years imprisonment. Third offence: 50 years imprisonment. Any further offences: sentence to be decided by the jury. For no consent, where one person has not reached puberty of age and the other has reached puberty: The sentence from the Illegal Sexual Act Act shall apply.

3 EXCEPTION: A person do any of Section 1 (a), (b), and (c) without any form of consent if they meet the conditions of the EXCEPTION in the Illegal Sexual Act Act. A person who has reached puberty may do any of Section 1 (a), (b), and (c) as long as they adhere to Section 1 (h), even if the other person has NOT reached puberty, as long as it is necessary for medical or emergency reasons, or it is a necessary part of legitimate training (for example, due to the movements required in gymastics, cheerleading, trampolining, and other sports), AND as long as consent is obtained from the participant (and from the parent(s) or/and guardian(s) where the participant has not reached puberty). Nothing in this Act prevents a person from washing or clothing, or changing the nappies of, their own children (this includes adopted children and fostered children, as long as, where applicable, prior consent to perform such activities has been given by the biological parents), so long as there is a need to do so. A person may do any of section 1 (a), (b), and (c), regardless of their age, with any person of any age, if this is necessary for a movie to reflect society, but only if, if a person who has not reached puberty is involved, the parents or guardians have provided written permission. Nothing in this Act prevents touching of the genitals for health reasons (with consent of the person being touched). Nothing in the Illegal Sexual Act Act invalidates any of this Act, except for the exceptions specified in the Illegal Sexual Act Act.
NOTES: For the purpose of this act, puberty is considered to have been reached once a boy gets his first pubic hair and once a girl has her first period.
JUSTIFICATION: Laws stating specific ages for consent were established mainly to deal with abuse. As there are other specific Acts relating to abuse in Multiland, and as it is true that once a person reaches puberty they are able to engage in procreation, it makes sense that, following natural law, a person whould be able to engage in sexual relations once they have reached puberty. It is also considered stupid to punish children for natural sexual exploration with each other, where neither have reached puberty.

"No sir, I don't like it."

I would say that's a valid argument, but it's not, it's just random dislike apparently.

How does Multiland define who has not yet reached puberty, who is undergoing it and who has attained it? Puberty is a process that may start as young as twelve years old and may go on for many years, depending upon the individual.

As the Act states: NOTES: For the purpose of this act, puberty is considered to have been reached once a boy gets his first pubic hair and once a girl has her first period.
