The age of consent in North Carolina is 16, but he said that it's still could be illegal for everything below the waist? That seems confusing. If I consent to it, is it still illegal? I mean, he's only 10 months older than me! Reply to this Question

 We're not lawyers here. If you really need legal advice, see one. Or alternatively, just keep him out of your pants for the next 10 months.
Hard to do, I know, but think about this. If you make a mistake and are wrong about the law and then get caught, he could be labeled as a sex offender for the rest of his life. That means he could do time in jail, his name and address go up on the internet, and he'll always have a hard time ... maybe an impossible time ... getting a job. This country has gone stark raving nuts on the subject of sex offenses lately, and even one little mistake gets you branded forever.
So, ya, seeing a lawyer will cost you some important money, and not having sex for almost a year is agony. But it's sure as all get-out better than the possible alternative!
