Are Europeans pedophiles?

265 replies

In Europe the legal age for sex is really low - like 14 in Germany, Portugal, Italy and Austria. In Spain its 13!!!1 This means a 40 year old man can legally have sex with a 14 year old as long as it is consensual (without coercion etc).

Does this mean the Europeans are pedophiles? Does it mean it's legal to be a pedophile in Europe?

There are some advantages to having no teeth.

Gurning for instance.

"Our teeth are bad due to the fruited scones. And the fornicating of course."

OMG why didn't my dentist warn me semen rots your teeth!

ooh ABF you are a mathemagician

I wanted to have sex when I was 13. Very badly. . Felt quite terrified that I might get to the mighty old age of 16 without popping my cherry.

In reality I was 19 before it happened. Would have slit my wrists had I known that when I was 13.

All this talk of scones is very north because I don't have any in the house.

US teens lose their virginity on average younger than Spanish ones, though I don't know which source is most authoritative for citing that, but there are dozens that basically find the same thing.

Half term

Doctorbeanjuice · 07/06/2012 17:07

OMG pls take me seriously, you make light of such an important issue.

If it's OK for a man to have sex with a 16 year old then, by your logic, it's OK for a man to have sex with a 14 year old. As long as he says 'I love you', and buys her a new trampoline.

I thought 16 was the age of consent..?

SchrodingersMew · 07/06/2012 17:08

And you bastards have made me want scones! Angry

TuftyFinch · 07/06/2012 17:08

You can'y buy scones in America. Apart from in Wisconsin. Who knew? Did you know Mr BakedBean?

Why are you called Mr BakedBean? Is it your real name?

Anyway i had a scone yesterday. It was still warm from the oven and yes. I put the cream on first and then glooped a spoonful of jam on top.

storminabuttercup · 07/06/2012 17:08

So 16 is not ok as it's only three years more than 13, but 18 is 2 years above 16, which is also wrong. So should it be 20? But then that's only 2 years older than 18, which by your reckoning should also be wrong....

You do see where this could go don't you?

FWIW I was having sex at 16, the good sex came much later (and with a much older man) the practice was useful though

Hullygully · 07/06/2012 17:08

What if she lives in a flat? Where's she gonna put the damn trampoline?

headfairy · 07/06/2012 17:09

trampoline, OMG no! I'd expect him to buy her at least a new Xbox.

AbsofAwesomeness · 07/06/2012 17:09

What do trampolines have to do with anything?

And you do realise, right, that Europe is not one country? Each country legislates on its own on such issues.

Surely you don't smoke cigars... If monica lewinsky taught us nothing its the dangers of smoking cigars!

Don't mention contraception Headfairy Shock

SchrodingersMew · 07/06/2012 17:09

And what if she ends up pregnant? Trampoline will be useless after that...

PercyPickle · 07/06/2012 17:10

Why are all the men getting the sex? And why is it an under age girl?

What happens to a 15 year old boy's brain if he has sex with a 21 year old woman?

And what will happen to your brain OP if you imagine two men doing it?

Hullygully · 07/06/2012 17:10

No they don't absy. They all have to have exactly the same bananas and trampolines as sexy time gifts.

Brussels said.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 07/06/2012 17:10

Plus I played Croquet on the lawn it was all terribly English what with all the crappy teeth and peadophiles.

cory · 07/06/2012 17:11

Doctorbeanjuice, as yet there is no European law that specifies that our 16yos have to have sex with middle-aged partners, nothing at all that stops them from making out with their 17yo boyfriend. Not even in European countries with a Labour government.

If my 14yo had a 21yo boyfriend, I would be quite surprised and wonder what was wrong with him, because my experience tells me that most 21yos are looking for a bit more in terms of maturity and experience.

You otoh seem to think of a large age gap as something that naturally springs to mind. Not to most of us, it doesn't.

DulcetMoans · 07/06/2012 17:11

Right, that's it - no sex for anyone! It's the safest way!
