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.
