Age of consent
In the US, the age of consent is generally 18 years. Many states lower the age to 16, but have lots of laws that indirectly moderate. For example, Washington's age of consent is 16, but you can still be prosecuted for "Communicating With a Minor For Immoral Purposes", which is only vague defined as anything immoral.
What's the age/stipulations over in europe?

Texas it's 16, though there may be a stipulation that it's only 16 if there's up to a 10 year age different...so, if you're 27 you can only hump 18 year olds and older, though at 26 a 16 year old is still ok. That, however, may not be anything more than unsubstantiated rumor.

Don't know that really. I believe the bar is 16, although to 15 year olds having sex with each other is legal too I think.
But I don't think anybody over here really cares.

The age of consent is 16 here (Belgium), 14 if their partner isn't more than 5 years older. And two ppl below 16 can have sex as much as they like, obviously.
@immoral: that's some serious sux0r way of making laws, heh. I hope they make that into something more 'solid'...for some ppl giving your own 6-yr old daughter a peck on the lips could be 'immoral'.
Btw, apparently there are different ages of consent for sodomy in many countries too...wtf is up with that? Like it makes any difference how old you are for which hole you pick. (to put it bluntly)
Why the sudden interest Pig? Ardent issue in Washington?

Sex below the Age of 16 here is completely illegal.

I think you messed the 14-16 a bit up Ox. As far as i know sex below 16 is illegal here as well:
"Als een van de betrokkenen 15 of jonger is, veronderstelt de rechter altijd dwang, ook al heeft de minderjarige ingestemd. De wet gaat ervan uit dat iemand die nog geen 16 is, niet rijp genoeg is om te oordelen of hij of zij seksuele omgang wil. Vanaf 16 jaar hebben jongeren seksueel zelfbeschikkingsrecht."
So the 5 years will aply to the 16-18 category, still minors but they can have sex if the age difference isn't too big.
Hope this doesn't get you into serieus troubles

Naw, just curious. Europe is much more relaxed about sex and nudity that the US. I wanted to know how they compared on legislation. Ox, the only thing keeping that law from being completely abused is the public outcry that would occur if it were used to loosely.
Regarding sodomy, it's illegal in many states here though that law is mostly used to discriminate against homosexuals.
