But do you have sex?

If *a* 13 year old is emotionally mature enough to have sex, who are you to say they should not. Who is the government to say they should not.

I don't consider any thirteen year old I've met to be that emotionally mature enough, and certainly not physically mature enough for me to want to be having sex with them. But if there is a 13 year old who is mature enough, I'm not going to be the one telling them it's wrong. Laws are very simplified and all encompassing and ignores the shades of grey (by the necessity to be quantifiable for useful enactment purposes) but that doesn't mean that society should consider it disgusting for somebody to have sex the day before their 16th birthday.
