Why can't a legislature just apply the "half your age plus seven" rule. Anything younger is robbing the cradle.

The formula is simple: olderAge / 2 + 7 == minimumAge

This implies that younger than 14 is off limits, period. Let's begin:

  • 14: 14
  • 16: 15
  • 18: 16
  • 20: 17

This is where the law stops because 18 is "of age" but if we were to continue...

  • 22: 18
  • 24: 19
  • 26: 20
  • 28: 21
  • 30: 22

Fill in the blanks... you get the idea:

  • 40: 27
  • 50: 32
  • 60: 37
  • 70: 42
  • 80: 47
  • 90: 52

See? Super simple. Works for men, women, and all other genders anyone wishes to claim in any coupling one can imagine.

Keep in mind the result is the minimum age. Not at all recommended, but generally you won't get too many dirty looks.

No! That type of rule should NOT be the law. Just have Romeo/Juliet clauses instead.
