I've never understood that
They do a similar thing in the US, too. Is there a scientific basis for withholding sex toys from under-18s?

oh well it's obvious innit?
at 17 and a few months - I'm obviously far less mature then I will be in 9 months time on my 18th.

Stupid twunts.

It's all a plot.
Obviously you've been sexually mature since about 13\14. Legal for shagging since 16. However it is perfectly natural that you won't be flying solo until you're 18. Good job bloke's hands don't need a license.

LIES
I've been flying solo since I was 13. Bollocks to all that shite of only being awakened at 18. I mean come on! If I can fuck at 16 why can't I wank?

It is ridiculous.
But if they dare suggested changing it, just imagine the protests from the daily mail reading masses who regard such things as a filthy fetish.
