Speedy delete A hoax, and not a terribly good hoax. If you're 18, it's recommended that you not rely on this article when deciding whether to have sex with someone three years younger than you are.

Speedy delete. Not only is it a totally unsourced opinion and starkly unencyclopedic, it is patently false and dangerously misleading. It also constitutes original research, with some really poor research involved; bordering on something made up heard in school the locker room one day. Age of consent laws vary from state to state and from nation to nation. Obviously the intent was to spell out an opinion on
statutory rape and
age of consent, but even redirecting to those does not necessarily make a lot of sense. Unless: Is "sex limits", a modern reference to barely legal underage sex, or a common expression among youths these days? If it is an expression that is in common use among teenagers, then I suppose we could redirect there as a courtesy for them. Frankly, I thought this article was going to be about - umm - quantity, and was bracing myself for some amazing and outrageous (or not) claims. Ah well, moving on.... --T-dot ( Talk/contribs )

Delete. Unfortunately, wrong information isn't a criteria for CSD (G1 specifically excludes "fictional material... hoaxes of any sort"); but this is probably a good candidate for WP:SNOWBALL; and hopefully all the warning templates will ensure no impressionable young persons pay any heed to it before that happens... --

Iffy if the CSD rules specifically exclude deleting for this reasons... But then, a snowball close of this AfD would have precisely the same effect as an IAR speedy, so I suppose it's a moot point. Incidentally, I've replaced the "The factual accuracy of this article is disputed" template with a custom one which says "This article is indisputably factually inaccurate" (plus a link to
Age of Consent) to more accurately reflect the situation... ;-) --
