Just saying, I would have happily had sex with adult women from about age 6 onwards. I did have my first sexual experiences at that age, and have no regrets.

Me too, as I recall :) Maybe not six, however. More like 10 or 11.

Child marriage is legal in much of the the U.S.A.[1]:

> The search turned up cases of 12-year-old girls married in Alaska, Louisiana and South Carolina, while other states simply had categories of “14 and younger.”

Most states have no minimum age, though some have a minimum age between 14 and 17 (only two have a minimum age of 17 going by the map in the article).

Not really. It is more complex than that. Keep reading.

You're just trying to get me to fill my search history with queries like "age of consent in Juarez" aren't you?

Lol. There is a different crime called "estupro" that applies from 12 to 18 even if consent was given.
