Nope, I blame the media and the hormones. Everything nowadays has some sort of sexual reference

I was 16 in 1981 and I remember many girls at school talking about who they would ‘do it with’ at 16. I think the age thing did impact this back then, for some, but not all. Not sure about now. I do wonder what Mark looks like now, he was very popular 😀

Not necessarily. The age of consent set at sixteen years of age in the UK offers the opportunity for 16 year olds to become sexually active with people their age all while offering legal protection to minors who are victims of sexual assault by older persons.

No, I think you'll find it's hormones .

Has it changed? If you reflected on this you'd not ask this

Nonce

No

Ask some catholic priests...oh, we're talking about consent, my bad.

no, it's society who pushes people to have sex too soon - all our TV, movies, print ads, online crap - everything is sexualized. so yeah the answer is no, age isn't a factor.
