so in Canada they changed the legal age of consent to have sex from 14 to 16 years old.. but the legal age for consenting to anal sex is 18... i was thinking of the ladies and thought this was weird when a co-worker brought up the whole gay thing.. so a gay man can't legally have sex until he's 18.. any opinions or thoughts to why this is? also, side note, apparently the legal notations don't REALLY apply if the sexual intercourse-havers are within 5 years. so 16 and 22 and the 22 yr old would go to jail but 16 and 21 and it's ok. not complaining. just wondering if anyone has any opinions on the law or what the law is in your country/state/province blah blah
