Japanese government proposes raising age of consent from its current 13 years old

Heck, at 18-21, I still question if young people are ready for that much responsibility.

I waited until I was 38...

Angola and the Philippines both set the age of consent at 12, which is the lowest in the world.

Geeze...one would wonder why all those Western perverts flock to Thailand and Vietnam when they can do that stuff legally in Japan.

Except Japan has an insular culture and foreigners would never be allowed to get away with such things - "legal" or not.

I was pretty mature at 18, but no, not that mature.

At 13 no one is sexually mature.

Your an outlier, but I can’t say you’re wrong.

I had already lost my first marriage by then.

[DoughtyOne]

I probably wasn’t. As much as I thought I was, looking
back I just wasn’t. I may be wrong, but I think that’s the
case in a lot of instances.

Perhaps that’s just me trying to justify my shortcomings.

I now some kids are very mature prior to that.

Many of them are women, who mature at an advanced rate
compared to most guys. > IMO

12-14 are not mature teens.
