I hope you don't have good luck with enforcing it. I don't have a problem with an 18 year old and a 17 year consenting to sex with each other.


I am sure a lot of people don't myself included. We are talking about the law and minors though. Society sets that "consensual" age limit. I am sure everyone has their age "line in the sand" so to speak.


But most of the time the law has provisions for edge cases, such as the Romeo and Juliet laws that exist in many states (laws that override the age of consent when the age difference is small).
