For exploitative sexual activity prostitution or pornography, or where there is a relationship of trust, authority or dependency , the age of consent is 18 years. The spirit of the new legislation is not to regulate consensual teenage sexual activity. To this effect, there are a few notable exceptions to the law:. Children younger than 12 years of age can never consent to sexual activity with anyone, of any age, regardless of whether they say they do.

As before, all nonconsensual sexual activity, regardless of age, constitutes a sexual assault. Exploitative sexual activity, sexual assault or sexual activity with anyone younger than 12 years of age or between 12 and 16 years of age, except as above, should raise child protection concerns.

All Canadian provinces and territories have child protection legislation with mandatory reporting laws for suspected cases of child maltreatment. It is important for physicians counselling sexually active youth to enquire about consent and the age of their partner. As always, as a means to safeguard the trust relationship that exists between physician and patient, it is advisable for physicians to discuss the limits of confidentiality with all their young patients before entering into such conversations.

As the new legislation gets implemented, child welfare agency responses to such concerns may differ from province to province. Any physician experiencing doubt about whether a situation constitutes maltreatment or whether it is reportable to child welfare authorities, should err on the side of caution and contact their local child welfare agency to discuss the matter further. The older men get, the younger the women they message relative to their own age. Women, on the other hand, message and respond most often to men about their own age.

Once they reach 35, women actually respond more often to younger guys. But because men are usually the conversation starters, the older-man-younger-woman paradigm prevails. Alright, so maybe OkCupid en masse follows dating age conventions, but what about those women who want to flip the norm on its head?

What I found was kind of surprising. When men message women, women tend to respond most often to men around their own ages. A year-old woman will have better luck messaging a year-old man than a year-old one, according to the data. And a year-old man is more likely to respond to a message from a year-old woman than a message from any other age group. When women make the first move, the age gap dating norm is reversed.

Students reveal all here Go to first unread. Report Thread starter 3 years ago 1. Before anyone jumps to conclusions I havent dated or slept with a 16 year old etc Im posting this because I want to gather some opinions. Basically I went to a house party yesterday and briefly spoke with a girl. I thought she was pretty attractive. She is 16 and I am 20 Almost I added her on facebook and we have been speaking a little bit.

She seems really cool but I keep thinking, would trying to date her be wrong? I know she is of age legally to have sex but what do you think. Its not necessarily down to the fact I cant get a girl of my age my ex is 21 but I feel like shes jail bait even though she is legal. Should I just stay away? Or should I still pursue it? I feel a bit dodgy with it atm.
