Texas does something fairly reasonable -- I've forgotten the age of consent, but if one person is on one side and the other is on the other side, if the difference in ages is a certain margin or less (again, I've forgotten what that is -- I never had reason to worry about it here!), it's not statutory rape. So if you're 2 months older than the age of consent and you boink someone 3 months younger than you (i.e., younger than the age of consent, but close to you in age) it's OK. And 2 people under the age of consent going at it isn't considered statutory rape. (I like the Netherlands solution.) Julia ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Cut out the sex altogether... See, that wouldn't fly with these fundies either. The only thing worse than unnatural sex acts is anything artifical attached to procreation. Not only are such methods not found in whatever religious instruction manual they follow, those methods could conceivably (pardon the pun) allow single women and gays to have kids! And let's be honest, that's even worse than heterosexual sex out of wedlock to them.
