Sex illegal?
Does anyone know if a minor having sex with another minor is illegal in Georgia? I always thought it was okay if both persons were under 18. But some friends recently told me it is illegal to have sex and much less buy condoms if you are under 18 in the state of Georgia.
Any web links or direct answers are appreciated!
Thanks :]

Georgia's age of consent is 16. Although they have been seriously considering rising the age to 18 for the past year I don't think that is going to happen.
So, in a nutshell it's a felony for someone who is older then 18 to have sex with someone younger then 16. Any other sexual acts, by anyone, with someone or both parties under the age of 16, is a misdemeanor.
So in essence, yes, Georgia does make it against the law to have sex underage, period. Although it would be up to the DA to prosecute or not in a given case.
Here it is, straight from the Georgia State legislation:
(2) If the victim is at least 14 but less than 16 years of age and the person convicted of child molestation is 18 years of age or younger and is no more than four years older than the victim, such person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall not be subject to the sentencing and punishment provisions of Code Section 17-10-6.2.
You should be able buy condoms though; there really is no legal basis for refusing you service, although some places may, and there wouldn’t really be anything you could do about it except go someplace else.

the age here is 16. if youre younger than that then im not sure if its like illegal and they can do something or what, but it is 16.
im pretty sure they cant stop you from buying condoms no matter what youre age since its an "over the counter", so-to-speak, birth control, but you can get them for free at Planned Parenthood.

Each state has a different sex age. Most are 15-17. Google is your friend.
