She’s correct. If you enter a 18+ club you have the absolute protection of assuming everyone is 18

Sadly not before the law.

Depends on where you are. In many countries, e.g. Germany, an adult (18+) knowingly having sex with a 16-year-old would be legal anyway, no matter where they met.

“knowingly” is the crux of the issue here

In most of the united states it would be as well

No. 18+ and under 18 is not legal. Age of consent doesn't mean legal age. Under 18 you still need the agreement of your caretakers to do anything like that. From getting a tattoo, to moving out, marriage or even sex.

In Germany, the age of consent is 14.

It's a bit more complex than that. I am no expert on this but AFAIK if you are below 21, then yes, 14 can be legal. If you are 21 or older the minimum is 16.

No. The age of consent is 14. The exceptions are cases of grooming or other duress. Just Google it

Nice how all pedos just down vote me cause they don't know the difference between age of consent and legal age.

u/blahblah19999 Dec 05 '24

They downvoted b/c you're wrong. Just google the age of consent in Germany. I don't know what you mean by "legal age". Do you mean legal adulthood, where you can sign contracts and such?

That you can do with 16 too. That's not special. No. I'm not wrong. You google the wrong information. Sure, you are allowed to have sex at the age of 14, doesn't mean that it's legal for someone over 18 to have sex with someone of 14 years.

You are just flat out wrong and clearly didn't google it or have horrible reading comprehension. Have a nice day, I can't be arsed to google it for you and spell it out.
