When two people are in a relationship around the teenage years, sex is always an issue.
Sex is an intimate thing shared between two people.
The government nonetheless has a set of rules about when a person is ready to have sexual intercourse which is called the age of consent. Not surprisingly there are many disagreements about whether or not there should be an age of consent. The current age of consent in Canada is 14. There is a lot of talk about raising that age to 18. If the age is raised to 18, teens are going to sneak around and have sexual intercourse anyway.
