The past year a friend told me about a strange adventure got during
the summer, while on vacation. He is a pleasant man of about forty,
separated by many years without offspring who likes to live alone and
amuse himself, with no love affair always ready for adventure. That
summer night he was in a nightclub with some friends, as usually he does
for fun and to pull the birds, of course. While he was at the bar a
sexy girl approached him and asked if he wanted to dance and, laughing,
if he then had offered her a drink.
Well, since summer is coming and with it new love stories and accidental sex affairs will increase, wherever you are and whichever your sexual tendency is, it can be useful for you to give a look at the following map. It contains information on the legal ages of consent for sexual activity in different countries around the world, and whereas it happens a chance encounter similar to the story I just have told, I advise you to check first the true date of birth of the new conquered person, before pulling down the underwear.
My friend obviously agreed, and later they sat down at a table and began to chat. He said something about himself as she said to be aged 23, single and always looking for new adventures and emotions. She seemed interested in him, confessing that elderly men even excited her. He, somewhat embarrassed, repeatedly pointed out the great difference in age and beyond a few dances and a chat, any other thing would have put him uncomfortable. She saddened replied that if he thought that way, would have to leave him, then going in search of another man, stronger and with not so many scruples. At that point, considering it just was her looking for that, he thought it would have been a shame to lose that opportunity and pass for the usual fruitless old man so, put aside any scruples and came into play. Shortly, he later took her to his home where they had sex for long time. Early in the morning, he got up while she still sleeping, her purse was open and upside down on the floor. He picked it up, among lipstick powder and brush her drive license too … just for curiosity he gave a look and as well as first and last name he also read her date of birth : May 18, 1997. Fucking shit, she had lied because not 23 years old, but only 18! With knit eyebrows he told me, see Tony, thank goodness she was in age at least, because at that point could be even younger and unwittingly I might have found in quite a mess. I nodded, thinking that he really could have been found in big trouble, then laughing I added that if those event had happened in Tunisia, he still could be in trouble, anyhow. Mixed up he asked me why, and I said because in Tunisia the age of sexual consent even is 20 years old. I didn’t know this he replied, and we both smiled.
Please note that in most cases law varies according to the age gap between partners or by some exception when the older partner is aged over 18/21 while the younger is under 16/18 and considered a victim because with lack of maturity or capacity for sexual self-determination. This table should only be used as general guide, consult for more data according to the country and the specific situation
