@thefinn @VaxxSabbath @Aly You're right about American sensibilities in that regard; 18 is ridiculous, but it's not as simple as a consent age, because you can't just walk away from your teacher if the thing goes sour, you have to see her every day in class and get graded by her.

My first real girlfriend was fifteen, a year younger than me, and we fucked all the time. When she started seeing someone else and I had to find out from her helpful girlfriend, I was crushed, and very glad we didn't attend the same school.
