Of course there's always going to be people who lie about their age to get onto the site. The best the staff can do in this case is to ban them if they admit their true age.

However, it still makes sense from a legal liability point of view to restrict minors. It's the same concept as many adult websites where you have to click the "Over 18" link to get in. It's not that they really think it'll stop minors; they're protecting themselves.

I dislike the attitude that teenagers shouldn't be sexual. I had sexual interested in my early teens, and I'm sure many people here can say the same. It's natural, as much as conservative morals may try and say that it's not. However, I think the legal issues are more than enough reason to limit the access of minors. I would hate to see this great community be shut down.
