I have always judged on the "half your age plus seven" rule. Anything way beyond this is rife for internet hassle.

I've always stuck to the much more simple
"only having sex with adults" rule. It's much simpler, and doesn't require having to any maths in difficult situations.

My mother said to me when I headed off to University
'Son, always use a condom. And a calculator'

you're married now
you're never having sex again, adult or not.

I know it's terribly cruel that you can't have me
so if desperately clinging to that thought is what helps you sleep at night, then that is what you must do.

I've broken that rule twice, both times to my cost.
I prefer Badger's rule.

I presume by "to your cost"
you don't mean "a four-strech in Wandsworth as Big Tel's special friend" ?

No, no I followed your rule.
One was 16 when I was 21, I wasn't getting any and she offered, was about as much fun as you'd imagine, lasted about a month, the other was my ex-wife who was 19 and I was 27 What can I say I was in love with the mental bitch, I managed to hang on for 6 years but eventually decided I preferred my own sanity to staying with her for the sake of our kid.

Funtimes.

Just to clarify after reading my own post
"as much fun as you'd imagine" = none at all

Ah, this is why you are protecting the nonce...
/doesn't really think you are protecting the nonce but why let that get in the way of a good accusation of noncery.

Yes, totally.

Just to be clear, I was joking.
I wasn't really accusing you of anything untoward.

It's Cool.
I have a general policy of more or less total honesty about stupid stuff I've done, but I'll ad mit I'd be a bit annoyed to be branded a pedo on here.

Yeah, as would I.
That's why I thought I'd better make it clear. Wouldn't want to offend you for the sake of a cheap shot joke.

Are you sure you're on the right forum?
No worries, I don't offend easy.
