While, experts welcome the new rule that pegs consensual sex at 18 years of age, some teens in the city say that making sex illegal before 18 is harsh and regressive.
The Protection of Children against Sexual Offences Bill, 2011, that was cleared on Thursday in the Union Cabinet, says that sex under the age of 18 —even if consensual — will be deemed as statutory rape and an offence that will be tried under the Juvenile Justice Act, carrying a maximum punishment of three years imprisonment. The bill, though, has evoked mixed responses. While child rights activists are calling it regressive, sex experts and counsellors are welcoming the move. The teens in the city are appalled that the law makers are not taking note of ground realities.
Teenager Surya Rau, says, “The rule is too harsh. Why should we wait? No one is going to wait till they turn 18 to have sex. Puberty hits at the age of 13, what do you want us to do for five years?”
Naina Kothari, aged 17 too, says, “We are young and want to experiment now. You can’t expect us to wait or give us an appropriate age limit to have sex. By the time we’re 16, we pretty much have the knowledge we need about the matter. We also have sex education classes which are adequate.”
According to sex and marriage therapist Dr Vinod Chebbi, “Children as young as 13 indulge in some form of physical intimacy to satisfy curiosity. For them, sex is for thrills and not a responsible act,” he says and adds, “Adolescents think they are too young to get pregnant, but old enough to have sex.” However, he says, “Physical intimacy is best entered into at 18 years and above. Fixing the age of consensual sex should never be based on physical growth. What lawmakers have to look at is if a young couple is emotionally prepared for the same. A youngster at 16 is definitely not.”
Teenager Shamaila Khan believes that teens will not be deterred by the new rule, “Nobody cares about the age limit and no one is going to follow it. But an 18-year-old will be more mature — emotionally and physically. Parents need to make their children aware of the consequences of sexual activities rather than have them face punishment,” she says.
The problem, says social worker and child counsellor Niveditha Kashyap, is that urban children are exposed to visuals and messages with sexual overtones through TV, the Net, books and friends. “They’re sexually aware and want to experience physical intimacy at a young age. Making sexual acts among them punishable can have serious after effects. One good thing is that those engaging in physical intimacy with underage youth will be punished,” she says.
Experts call for sex education to be imparted to children as young as 10. “The first step is to teach children the concept of privacy so that he/she can resist abuse. Also, sex education should not be confused with lessons on intercourse,” says sex expert Dr Rajan B Bhonsle.

An estimated 55% of male and female teens have had sexual intercourse by age 18 and approximately 80% of teens used some form of contraception at first sex, according to a new report by the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
The report, “Sexual Activity and Contraceptive Use Among Teenagers in the United States: 2011-2015,” features the most recent data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), conducted by NCHS, and compares the new data to past NSFG data. The data represent all teens in the U.S. and were derived from interviews with 4,134 male and female teens 15-19 years of age over the period 2011 through 2015.
The report documented the following findings:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
U.S. law on age of consent to sexual activity

^ An exception to the age of consent is that if a person in a "position of authority" (full-time, permanent employee) engages in any sexual contact with any minor under age 18 or victim specified above, that constitutes a sexual offense in the fourth degree . [173]

^ In Maryland, sexual offense (1st & 2nd degree) and rape (1st & 2nd degree) carry the same penalty. The distinction is that a rape involves vaginal intercourse.

^ Local state law is incorporated, for the most part, into federal law when on-post per the Assimilative Crimes Act ( 18 U.S.C. § 13 )

^ Laws against "contributing to the unruliness or delinquency of a child" (§ 2919.24) and "interference with custody" (§ 2919.23) may be used against those who are 18 and older who have sex with those who are 16 and 17 if a parent or guardian complains. - See the section about Ohio for further information

^ Even though a person may legally consent to sexual activity with someone of any age older than him/her once he/she turns 16, Pennsylvania state prosecutors may still charge a person 18 or older with corruption of a minor , a misdemeanor offense, if a person has consensual sexual intercourse with a 16 or 17 year old [75] – See the section about Pennsylvania for further information

^ Texas has two statutes: section 21.11 of title 5 defines the age of consent as 17, but section 43.25 of title 9 criminalizes inducing a minor under 18 to engage in sexual conduct or causing such a minor to engage in a sexual performance [87] [126] [127] – See the section about Texas for further information
