There are some things you should sexually embrace with both hands. Someone offers you a threesome and you've never done one? Go for it! Someone wants to have sex with you outside and that's a new thing, why not try it out? Does someone want to play with food in the bedroom? Combining sex with dinner time is just plain smart!

There are other things however that push things a little too far, things you can't consent to, and shouldn't. Here are a few to watch out for.

The extreme – you can never, and should never, consent to death!

If you accidentally kill someone whilst having sex, they can never have consented to it! This is an extreme example, and is very unlikely to happen! You cannot consent to have yourself killed. I think that this is just so that a killer can never raise the defence of “they agreed to it” especially since we still hold euthanasia as illegal in this county. So no killing your parter during sex, Zena On-A-Top from James Bond was definitely a murderer!

You cannot consent to actual or grievous bodily harm

In theory you cannot consent to actual or grievous bodily harm. This is for policy reasons, the government don’t want to encourage people to have fights in the streets! This extends to the bedroom as well. This means that if you are involved in anything kinky at all, then depending on what that is, you cannot consent to it. So where is the line, what can you do or not do? Well there was a guy called Emmett (like Emmett brown from Back to the Future) who put a plastic bag on his fiancee’s head, then poured lighter fluid all over her breasts and set fire to her. Talk about turning up the heat in the bedroom!! This was not okay in the eyes of the law, even though she had consented to it, they said you canot consent to this.

What can you consent to in the bedroom

The most extreme case I could find, was a Mr and Mrs Wilson. Mr Wilson branded his initials onto his wifes bum using a hot knife… wow that must have been painful. The English courts held that this was no different to getting a tattoo, so this was considered fine!

So stay away from the plastic bags, but go for the hot knifes!

Unlike many other democratic countries, here in the UK we don’t have a set of clear laws that have been carefully laid down by people deciding what the law should be. We don’t have a clearly written constitution unlike the USA. If someone asked you what your protected rights are, most people wouldn’t be able to say this with any level of certainty. Here in the UK even our most basic of constitutional rights are hidden and difficult to find, so much so that the everyday person would struggle to be able to say with any certainty what those rights are! Is it any wonder that half of us don’t know where we stand legally when it comes to sex and dating?

So the age of consent in England and wales is 16 years of age. That means if you have sex with someone that is less than 16 years old, you can into a lot of trouble. This is even if you are 17 years old. This poses a particular problem for anyone in that bracket. When you are that age, you could have sex with someone just 6 months younger than you, and that could make you a sexual offender.

The UK crown prosecution service have made a public statement that says that they will not prosecute teenagers under the age of 16 for having sex, as long as they are both under 16 and that it is of course consensual. So whilst it remains illegal – they are not going to do anything about it. But hang on you think! It is still illegal, so what If they change their mind? This is where a little knowledge of how the development of English law happened will help. English law is developed over time through cases. Someone goes to court over something, then what ever that judge decides sets a “precedent” which other judges then follow if a similar case comes up. This means it is a constantly evolving beast. Where that plays an important role here, is that in the UK we have a history of obeying “convention” and “precedent” like it is law (which it is in some cases). So when the crown says that they are not going to prosecute, they really do mean it. So if you are teenager, you don’t need to worry!

So that is the basics of how the law works! If you are over 18 you are free to sleep with anyone you like as long as they are over 18, if you are over 16 you can sleep with anyone else over 16 as long as they are not in a position of power like your teacher.
