Should sex between an 18 year old and someone younger than a specified age always be illegal?

28. Does anyone ever fall in love anymore?

The questions seem to center around arbitrary ages and the sex act. There is love in the lives of people under 18, it's not always infatuation or an uncontrollable testosterone explosion. But these days all kids hear about is the sex act and that "all" boys want to stick it in something. It's not true. So much of it is fabricated by entertainment and business.

I always come back to the stats that show countries that don't promote prude-ity have less teenage sex in general and a later onset of sexual activity. Without sexual taboos, it's just a natural thing to be a kid and be able to handle public sexual discussion or nudity with a happy acceptance or humor and not have the "I gotta stick it in something now or I'm gonna blow up" attitude. America is weird when it comes to sex, and in some cases dangerous. Maybe it has something to do with American males have less testosterone than they used to have and try to make up for it by overplaying it. American males on average have 1/2 as much testosterone as their grandfathers had and less than that of their great grandfathers.

Love and caring trump the sex act by itself any day. Kids don't know the difference and get caught in the commotion caused by the excitement of having a taboo to sneak around.

Get rid of the damn taboos.
