1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    Actually thats changing.

    By March 1st the Canadian Senate will be passing the Conservative Government's "Tackling Violent Crime Act" that will change Age of Consent in this country.

    Heterosexual (vaginal) sex in Canada will be raised to age 16 in Canada. 14 and 15 year olds will be able to have heterosexual sex with close in age exceptions (within 5 years of age).

    Homosexual (anal) sex in Canada was legalized in 1969 with the consent age at 21. This was lowered in 1982 to 18, and remains such today. Homosexual sex is not legal in Canada until you are 18 (I know its a double standard...)

    The age of consent is 18 years where the sexual activity involves exploitative activity, such as prostitution, pornography or where there is a relationship of trust, authority or dependency.

    The one other issue in Canada is any man that has had homosexual sex with another man in the last 5 years is not allowed to give blood or be an organ doner in Canada because of a "high risk lifestyle" (eh...)
