I dont really want to dedicate the first post under the VX branding to this but well... this just came to me. I was digging through a senior's blog just now when I came across the term Knismolagnia.

bet many of you dont know what it means. I didnt till a while ago too. it is another term for arousal from tickling. thus, I am reminded of an accuastion this morning of me committing statutory rape for tickling a 14 year old.

hey, all I did was tickle the alleged victim in a manner totally unrelated to any form of sexual connotation.

I went to do some searching. turns out there are laws at 12, 14 and 16 years old. what the heck. oh, all laws below dont apply to guys. hmph. sexist.

==

1) The legal age of consent for sexual activity is sixteen (16). BUT

2) A man is said to commit 'rape' who, except in the case hereinafter, has sexual intercourse with a woman with or without consent, when she is under fourteen (14) years of age.', BUT

3) A consent is not a consentas as intended by any section of this code if the consent is given by a person who is under twelve (12) years of age.

==

first, I did not have sexual intercourse. definitely. I dont want to be wronged for such a huge crime.

second, if I did not even have sexual intercourse, it is even more unlikely I am doing it "with or without consent".

third, provided the said victim has Knismolagnia, what the heck would I be prosecuted under? the first or the second?

food for thought indeed. lol.
