I think it's really a total waste of time on our government's part to tell us what age we're ready for sex. (Sooo not an answer to your question, but I needed to put my opinion in there)

each state has it's own age of consent. Here in Ohio it's 16. In many states it is 17 or 18.

The LEGAL age is 18 in the United States. Other countries are different varying from 12 to 16.
However in the fathers rule book to daughters the legal age is 32.

At any age, so long as they can consent and know the consequences if something goes awry.

However, there is some law that I think is rediclous, that makes it so that if one person is over 18, they can't be with their partner in bed(or where ever, really) until they too are above 18. Otherwise, it doesn't matter at all.

There is no legal age to have sex. Governments do not regulate this. They do, however, regulate who you can have sex with.

For example, if a 19 year old has sex with a 15 year old, this is illegal in most jurisdictions. However, it is only illegal for the 19 year old.

Note: theage are just an example. The exact age restrictions will vary by jurisdiction.
