11. Quick answer?

Is there anyplace in the U.S. where it is ILLEGAL for two 15-year-olds to have sex?

Yes.

Several states (Ohio, for instance, at least while I was growing up in the early-'90s) have legal age of consent restrictions for girls, but not boys. In other words, if two 15-year-olds have sex, the BOY (but not the girl) can be arrested for statutory rape.

Thankfully, I never got into trouble with the law. But some kids I knew did. And yes -- that's fucked up.
