Bedroom activities are beyond the reach of legislation, at least for now in Germany. The German Parliament learned that lesson after heavy criticism led it to shelf a bill criminalizing ordinary sexual activities between teenagers. The bill proposes lowering the age to 14 from the current 18 which will make a German youth legally liable for a sexual crime. Current national laws on sexual abuse of minors requires the perpetrator to be over 18 and the victim under 16. A new European Union guideline increases the victim's age limit to up to 17, while the German bill makes the perpetrator liable even if he is below 18.
