Or are those restrictions "ageist" too? In most states the age of consent is at least 16. If you care that much about "ageism" then write your senator.

I do respect teenagers who earn that respect, the same rule I apply to adults. It is stupid for anyone other than a sex worker to talk about their sex life in a public forum, where it can be preserved indefinitely and be available to teachers, parents, college admission boards, future employers, etc. It's not smart to do at *any* age in my opinion, but *particularly* if the persons in question are underage.
My post was in response to the sentence I quoted. Nice try, though.
