In Austraila

The age of consent in Australia is 16, so it is not unlawful for people of those ages to have heterosexual intercourse. It would be against the law for those people to have homosexual intercourse, where the age of consent remains 18.

It is leagl is some of the States in the US. In fact most of the us it is legal to for anyone 16 or older to have sex with anyone 16 or older. Some states the age is 17 and some it is 18. But it depends what state you live in. In Austrila it depends what part you live in. Like if you live in Queens you can't have anal sex it is illegal. But you need to look up the law in your area or state to know for sure. Search for " legal age of consent" and you will find the leagl age ok. I hope this helps you.

depends you need to do the research, it varies by locale. i know in nj in the us the legal age of consent is 16 which means the 16 year old can make decisions like an adult but if they have sex with anyone 4 or more years older than them its statutory rape. so in nj at least and some other states, an 18 year old and a 16 year old can have sex legally. it depends on the laws in the specific area.

So many answers. So many WRONG answers. It is legal in every providence except SA and Tasmania where the age of consent is 17. See http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm
By the way, there is no one right answer in the US as the law varies by state. Some states have an age of consent as high as 18. Others are as low as 14 if the older person is with in a specific age gap of the younger person.

Unfotunately, you didn't give your location. The ages for legal sex varies by country and even state or province, and further, by the sex of the participants. It would be best to state in more specific terms the proposed location for having sex, and then someone would be able to tell you local legal guidelines.

that depends on what part of the us you are talking about? in some parts of the country 16 is the age of legal consent period!!! other parts 16 is! consensual to the age of 18 check with your police departments in your part of the country.

I think there is nothing wrong with it as long as both understand the situation and be on the safe side.These days there are more illegal things happening worse than having sex.But not in public.Go somewhere no one can observe.If someone sees then it will be illegal.If no one sees,It will be legal.
