So is there a double-standard [as always]? 14 year old boys have sex because they are horny, 14 year old girls are young, naive, and get duped? I think "society" needs to stop thinking of women this way.

They should be able to do whatever they want with their own body. [? ? ?]. Or no?

i think that remark assumes that boys and girls are identical emotionallly and in their ability to manage the experience.... otherwise there could not be a "double standard".

i think that for boys its a mechanical experience
i think that for girls, its an emotional experience

i dont think that there is a double standard. i think that boys should be boys and girls should be girls.

otherwise, the law defines what is right and wrong and there are arbitrary legal boundaries set to protect those who may not be capable of making an educated decision due to age, ignorance, lack of life experience which prevent a real understanding the possible ramifications of the choice they are making.
