In my country the age of consent is 14. No R&J laws. People under that age cannot be prosecuted, so two 13 years olds getting busy are pretty much fine. But a 14 years old having sex with a 13 years old is legally a rapist.
I think the majority of the people start later than the age line, with 16 or little lower being the average (no data, just what I have heard). Yet I for sure know a girl (not my friend) that was chasing (and actually getting "lucky" with) middle aged men when she was like 12. She was purposefully changing her appearance to look older. Also a couple of years ago the police busted a group of 13-years old girls, purposefully seducing men to blackmail them after. I have mixed views on the age of consent. I very well understand why it exists and I don't think I would have been capable of giving true consent at let's say 13, on the other hand this is a way too personal thing for an universal line to be drawn for everyone. No matter where we put it it will be ever too late for some and too early for others.
