Bounty stuck for an answer.

Bounty you of all people should know it's spelt ogling

And how old do boys have to be for it to be OK for women to ogle them?

I had to give this some thought.  Women don't require quite the same sort of visual stimuli sexually, so a woman ogling a 16 year old boy would be unusual, but less so the other way round.  Also women tend to like the maturity and masculinity often lacking in even later teenage boys. 

However, since there is no age of consent for boys in this country it's hard to determine at what age mere oggling would be acceptable, but intuitively I would say around 14.

Whatever floats your boat.

Only water has ever floated my boat!

Bounty - there is an age of consent for boys in this country. It's the same as for girls. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 16 to have sexual intercourse.

As the mother of two teenagers, (girl 16 nearly 17, and boy 18 nearly 19)  I would be very concerned if an adult in their 30s showed a sexual interest in either of them.

All girls go out with older men - its always been the same and probably always will be - i think i have only ever been with 2 or 3 women older than me...

A woman ogling a 16 year old boy may be unusual but it certainly happens to my 16 year old son (who does look older).  He has even had younger girls chasing him down the street shouting 'Johnnie Depp' after him as he does bear a certain resemblance to him.  He finds it all very embarrassing (or so he tells me.....)

Sorry Oldspice you're wrong.  For example, it's lawful for a 16 year old girl to have sex in a consensual relationship with a 15 year old boy.  Check with a policeman if you don't believe me.

And in your situation so would I, but of course showing an interest and just looking aren't quite the same.

Incidentally Oldspice, I am 40 and my girlfriend was 43 on Tuesday.  But thanks for putting me im my 30's

Not sure you're right about that Bounty.  I quote:

The age of consent is the age at which the law says a young person can agree to have sex. Before someone reaches the age of consent, they are not allowed to have sex with anyone, whatever age their partner may be. The law says that to have sex, both partners must be over the age of consent

And just how many people on this site have in one way or another broken this law? ( i am not accusing anyone of anything - just seems to me lots of people tend to try these things before they reach 16...)

As the mother of two teenagers, (girl 16 nearly 17, and boy 18 nearly 19)  I would be very concerned if an adult in their 30s showed a sexual interest in either of them.

True, but show me an 18 year old boy who wouldn't like a 30 yr old woman showing interest in him!

Very good point - and the boy would be encouraged in all liklihood
