I Question The Age Of Consent

i live in the UK its 16 here most of my school friends had already had heavy petting or sex by 14 very few had not had sex by 15 so are we criminalising them by keeping it at 16 i feel 15 is more suitable given the times we live in , this would be on the condition that at 15 you would not be prosecuted or have a criminal record if you were having sex with a similar aged person however if a 15 year old was having sex with someone much older the law should still apply to the elder

i think it is often subjective

I have met child like adults, and teens that still seemed not ready

i have met young women, like the ages you speak of. enthusiastic about sexual contacts

at 15 I was happy to be in with a lady, 32, i dont think she should have been prosecuted.

since 16 is the age oc consent there. what do you think of consensual contact between that 16 year old, and a man of say 40?
