The age at which people become mature enough for consent varies greatly. The xtian views on sex purport it as evil(ish?) but it really boils down to when someone is mature enough to understand what they are doing. As for 'adult' entertainment, one would think that people would be less opposed to it than to the actual act, which would include the risk of pregnancy, STDs, etc. (mostly if they don't know what they're doing). I don't claim to be an expert on the subject (I'm a virgin, and I've never seen porn
