What are you trying to make him say? First, sex is not the only thing kids do earlier than 18: kissing and fondling, we did at various ages and it's I think normal and quite harmless. It s not like teenagers will wait for their 18th birthday at noon to start thinking about it. But that means nothing special: ofc consent is priority and I agree consent is hard to give in full awareness before 16 and assumed automatically after 18 (since that s the definition of majority: your decisions become your responsibility). I think we need to be a bit honest that between 16 and 18 there s a grey area where kids experiment and instead of saying they shouldnt and hide our head in the sand, we could maybe focus on guiding them towards safe practice just in case. I kissed my first girlfriend at 14, had my first blowjob at 17, and first penetration at 19: it's a slow progress to maturity and not once my age mattered to me, it was completely irrelevant and we just discovered it slowly all together. No one seemed to have been harmed. But I can def accept stricter enforcement before 16 just because it s really really hard to make sure they understand what they consent to.
