"they did harm even if it wasn't directly to you" - that's rubbish. There were two people involved here, and frankly what they do in private is none of your business. I did not want or need your paternalism. I already have parents. I'm not sure what the proper age of consent is, but I am very comfortable saying that 16 is within safe bounds. We're biologically wired for sex long before then. This puritanical religious drive to "lock up the children" needs to end.
