Madagascar. 21 Hetero 21 Male/Male 21 Femal/Female Male/Male does not count. It is outlawed in many States and Countrys. http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm I did not mean that as a derogatory statement. I was just referring to the fact that it is illegal in many countries. Negating the need for an age of consent. As for the "age of consent" as it is stated in the question... age of consent n. The age at which a person is legally considered competent to give consent, as to sexual intercourse. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/age%20of%20consent Jun 23 06, 11:10 PM

I know in the United Kingdom it used to be 21 but it got changed to 16. In Egypt, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Arizona (USA), Delaware (USA) and California (USA) it's 18. Go to: http://iomfats.org/resources/ageofconsent.html Jun 24 06, 2:29 PM

This question didn't ask for a definition of the age of consent. If you're not sure what the question is asking for, either answer it as you can best interpret it, or pass. Jun 24 06, 9:52 PM

It never was 21 in the UK. In earlier Victorian times, it was as low as 13 (girls only - male/male illegal). W.T. Stead fought a case over this sort of thing which eventually caused the age to be raised to 16. 21 was the age of majority, which is the age at which you can legally sign binding contracts, and that is now reduced to 18.
