Re: Legal limits to have sex
Yes, as long as both parties consent (agree) to the sexual conduct.
In Michigan, if you are at least sixteen (16) years old, you are old enough to "consent" to sexual conduct.
See http://www.co.eaton.mi.us/ecpa/define.htm#CSC for a little more information on our Criminal Sexual Conduct statutes.
