Question: What does age of consent mean? Example - Age of consent is 16? -Does that mean it's legal for 16 years old to date and sleep with each other? -Does that mean a guy in his 30s,40s, 50s, or up can date/sleep with 16 years old?

Answer: When you have reached the age of consent, you are considered legally competent to consent to sex. Generally speaking, you can legally engage in sexual contact with anyone else who is also over the age of consent. The federal age of consent in the US is 18, but some states it is 16 or 17. Other states have close-in-age exceptions. For a better idea of how these work, search for "[your state] age of consent." Age of consent laws only apply to sexual activity (including oral sex). There are no laws in any state about dating. As for your examples, if the age of consent was 16 with no age restrictions, yes two 16 year olds could have sex and yes a 45 year old man could have sex with a 16 year old.

Question: Age of Consent when visiting a state? I know every state has a different age of consent. What if a 17 year old went to a state where it is legal to have sex at the age of 17.

The age consent in that state is still 17 though and no one planned on having sex.

Or is she still bound by her home state laws?

Question: What is the age consent of a 14 1/2 year old boy to date a 16 year old girl? In Louisiana, 1 year 5 months difference Yes, we are planning to have sex

Answer: The age of consent depends on what state/country you live in. In most cases, it is the same for male and female. You aren't even fifteen years old yet, you are way too young to have sex. You're too immature and cannot provide for your girlfriend and if she falls pregnant, what then? You are both too young and immature to raise a child and will not be able to raise the child in a good, supportive environment and probably ruin their life (no offense). Wait until you are eighteen years old at least. You only have one virginity, hold on to it until you are mature enough to give it to the person you love.

Question: If the Age of Consent is 16, does that replace the age 18? I live in Kansas, and the age of consent (age to have sex) is 16. Because of this, does that replace the law that an 18 year old who has sex with someone younger than them is charged for statutory rape, like in other parts of the country? Or is it that 16 and 17 year olds can have sex, but 18 and a younger cannot? This law has confused me and it would be within my best interest to know. Thanks in advance.

Answer: It means that it is illegal to have sex with someone under 16. If both parties are over 16, it's not a problem.

Question: How does the age of consent work for people of a different nationality, here? I'm Irish, but my lover is Romanian, she's living in Ireland. I know that the age of consent in Ireland is 17 but in Romania it's 15. So here she is underage but in her country she's not. So would it be unlawful for us to have sex? She is still a Romanian citizen so wouldn't that mean that it would be legal? I am above the age of consent so it's okay for me, but she's only a few months away from being 17 and we've waited long enough to do it.

Answer: You can get pissed out your head in Ireland but not in Saudi Arabia. If you do it there they won't say "but he can do it in Ireland so it's okay." You are bound by the laws of the country you are in. If you are in Ireland, you must observe Irish law. If you are in Romania then you obey Romanian law.

Question: How come the marriageable age is lower than the age for consent in some countries and states? For instance the marriageable age in Mississippi 15 (for girls with parent's consent) while the age of consent is 17. If this law is to protect minors why are they leaving this gaping loop-hole open? Effectively aren't they saying statutory rape is OK in marraige?

Answer: In legal terms, the age of marriage and age of consent having nothing to do with each other. Simply being married doesn't give you the right to override the age of consent. As mentioned, the reason this strange scenario exists is because the marriage laws are older than the age of consent laws. But there's no law that says marriage overrides the age of consent.

Question: What is the age of consent with dating a minor for military personel? If 19 year old military male and 16 year old high school girl are dating, what can happen to the male? They live in Maryland which the law says the age of consent is at 16, but he is not sure about he military law. What are the possible troubles that he may get into? Such as going military big, etc.

Answer: The military might constitute sex with anyone that you are not married to as an act of "adultery", under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Article 134 punishable up to 10 years in prison. If you lie about it, they will tack on another 10 years. While it may be true that neither one of you are currently married, the military might take actions against the military member that might not be consistant with civil law: The military can do MANY things that civilian law can't. Bottom line for me, find someone 18 or older.
