While I don't agree with the current limit I can't find an age limit I do agree with but all I do know is that it definetly shouldn't be lowered. But with any lage there would have to be loop holes with that law. Because like Shaun said earlier, if some one who's 16 has sex with a 15 year old are they really breaking the law. Look at the situation with Jamie Lynn Spears' boyfriend (I know they're not exactly a poster child for teen sex!). He almost faced rape charges because in that state's law she was too young but he wasn't but there was only a year in the difference!
But in most situations it really depends on the people involved.

well yes exactly my girlfriend was 16 the first time we done it and i was 15 so technically she was breaking the law by having sex with me but the law needs to oversee things like that considering we are in a long term relationship

But if the law was to overlook any example of law break then think of the criticism it would recieve for not overlooking everything. It's the age old case of people accusing the law of having deifferent rules for different people.
