Ah, yes. The little-known "Tolstoy Defense" to statutory rape charges.

most of the posters on this site are 13, 14, or 15 years old girls...so we're all good. BTW there is no such thing as a 13, 14, or 15 year old woman. sorry man, but Denisov was pretty pathetic.

History's relevance means squat. Start being creepy old dude around my teen daughter and I'll use your eye sockets and mouth bowling ball style and toss you against a tree a couple dozen times.

That's because the life expectancy, even as recent as the early 20th century, was only 30-40 years as opposed to over 70 today.

I'm pretty sure it had to do with women having no rights, and they were treated more like property. The reason men married 13 year old girls is because they could, and men are pigs. Even so, there were men that desired a more challenging, and fulfilling relationship than that. I never wanted a relationship with a women I didn't respect. You need to take care of yourself for around 10 years before you actually grow up. The ages were different back then because you may be on your own at 13, so that would make you an adult by around 23. Today it could be as late as 35.

While what you say is true, I think it had more to do with that fact that it wasn't prudent to wait to procreate until your 20s when the average life expectancy of the day was early 30s.

Yeah...if you are a 16 year old guy.

Think of it like a trip to Disney. At 16....a guy is in Fantasyland thinking about a 16 year old girl.
By 18...he is in Creepyland
By 21...he is in Pedophileland. Complete with the 7 dwarfs of law enforcement.

I hope this helps.

Maybe he was born in the wrong century.. During the 1800's it was not uncommon for people to marry in their mid-teens; in the 1400's you got married as young as 12 ( A boy was considered a man, a girl was a woman as soon as she had her first menstrual cycle), something that was extremely common but would be viewed as scandalous in America today.
