Interesting. I find Japanese culture fascinating.
Sick.
The age of consent isn't always 18 here in the States. The average is 16. But if you want to hear some fun stats, here they are: Mexico - 12 Brazil - 18 Madagascar - 21 Countries with Spanish ancestry have the lowest average age of consent in the world, while Muslim countries have the highest with sex being ILLEGAL in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Iran before marriage.
National Age of Consent is Japan is currently 13 (since 1999). Prior to 1999 there was NO age of consent. I studied the law on this. In ONLY SEVEN prefectures (equivalent to states), it is illegal for OTHER people to give payment for sex with a girl under the age of 18. She can take the payment, but the payee can go to jail. The later law was created in most cases to stop "enjo-kosai" which is otherwise known as "compensated dating".
18?
Sorry, PF, your figures are out of date.
I'm not sure, but it must be pretty young seeing how pederastic relationships are still practiced there.
So the japanese can never have sex legally? ; )
No age of consent? Just like Texas.

It's THIRTEEN

It's 13. Girls can get MARRIED at 16 (18 for guys), with their parents' permission.
