Ok..it got a bit iffy with Bill Wyman and his girlfriend 10 yrs ago...
But most men where probably thinking "lucky lucky lucky bastard!"
;-))
At 15...I'd fuck anything that moved.If it didn't move , I'd finger it til it moved , and then fuck it! .;-)))
I Think the US make up insane laws...
Gotta be 18 to fuck
Gotta be 21 to drink...
just basically gets people into the habit of breaking the law cause they are preposterious.
I may of course be talking bollocks...

No bollucks, Nick. The whole thing is insane. Back in the day, there were more than a few who pointed out "OK, let me get this straight - I'm old enough to get drafted and fight and die in a country I can't find on the map...but I can't drink and I can't vote?"
So the voting age was lowered to 18. In some states, you can buy what's called "3.2 beer" at 18. (We always had an 18 year old senior on standby for that when I was in high school.)
You have to be 18 to fuck anyone *over* 18. Two 16 year olds can have at it all day and there's no problem.
Drinking ages also vary from state to state, causing some interesting vehicular deaths by teenagers who went over the state line, got plowed...then got plowed.
There's a group of younger teenagers working to lower the voting age. My husband, who can be a royal pain in the tushie sometimes, said that if a 16 year old is working, he's paying taxes, but since he can't vote...that's taxation without representation, a little detail that was used in the forming of this bizarre country.
Americans tend to knee-jerk with regards to other nations lower ages of consent...as this Canadian delightedly found out once and tortured me with.
