Talk:Age of consent

Hey does any one know the information for specific prefecture?

Its funny the stuff you here about it folkd are either pervs who want to know for some sick reason like sleeping with early teens or they fall into the category of wanting to know if its ok in a prefecture they are visiting for a holiday or something to be with a 16 or 17 year old. So you have

a- pervs who rightly deserve criticism

b- people who come from countries or states where 16 is their age

c- people who say stuff like "IF your attracted to someone under 20 dont have sex with them because your not japenese and if you like under 16s your sick

Whilst people who say c are correct about the last part, i'd like to know if a law says 16 or 17 and you obey that law what have you done wrong (if ur not an american who have some weird restrictions on what they can do), unless japan specifically has laws saying it must be 18/20 for a forienger in each prefecture or is institutionally racist in its application of laws.

It seems no one knows the answer about where to find information about the prefectures, and in most cases the people asking for such information just dont want to do something they think is ok or which is ok in their own country but is illegal in another country. If you meet a 17 year old girl you would want to know what the law is and I dont buy into under 18 = perv. I buy into under 16 = pervy/dodgy (And wrong!) and that under 15 = definately a perv with these being the internet preadtors or real life folk we need to watch for (based on the laws of countries world wide and own gut insticts on morarlity and right and wrong).

I dont think folk in their twenties or late teens with some one who is 17 is wrong or even 16 although there would need to be good reason to want the hassle of being with a 16 year old!

So does any one know what the prefecture laws are?
