It's not trying to out law sexs, its protecting children from predators and putting the whole sex issue into perspective. If a 14 year old can't drive, drink or vote why should it be ok for them to have sex with a 40 year old. It shouldn't.

I would be curious to know the global average when you take out countries in the Middle East and Africa, which have AoCs of 21.

I think a comparison of western countries would be more appropriate for what is best for our culture.
