And this is the sex law that the Feds and the CDC want most of you to follow, but many are against it see it takes away the freedom of sex, and usually place a strict order with the age group, example, anyone at 21 can not have sex under that age but encurages a much older age group such as 28 to 50 are recommended by law, now that has gotten a lot of problems in many countries who are against or ignore the age of concent, do you think this law will get more strict as we get into the next decade, or will people overturn it?

I think that is absolutely ridiculous. For one, if you're setting it at an age set it to 18, not 21. For two: I got the impression that the age of consent was to stop pedophiles, Unless you're gonna call a 21 year old and a 20 year old peophillia making it so anyone under the age of 21 can't have sex with anyone is just cruel.
Recommended by law? If you truly mean "recommended" WTF DOES THAT MEAN? If you mean "allowed" then no, too high.
This is why I absolutely love my state's age of consent laws. Under 13 you can't have sex with anyone (If I made them a 1 year difference would be allowed but whatever ), 13 and over the maximum age difference is 3 years until you turn 16. While a 13 year old and a 16 year old is a little iffy, any other age that's allowed seems perfectly fine to me as far as the older one being a pedo goes.

I'm... not quite sure exactly what you're getting at, seeing as how most age of consent laws govern those 18 and under. I'm not sure where 21 year olds come in to it - in Washington State, the age of consent is generally 16 (though there are extenuating circumstances, for instance, if the older party is someone in a position of power, like a teacher).
So uh... what exactly is the question here?

hmmm, this is another example of good intentions gone awry.
The difference between 21 and 16 is 5 years, from what I can tell a pretty common age difference in couples. Of course, it weight greater at that young age then say at 30 and 35 (or 25)
On one hand, kids need to be protected. from perverts (pedos) not their own hormones. that's were parenting is in demand, explaining how it all works. However the general consent is that 'children musn't do that' and we all know how good that works.
So when issues come to light there is a law to manifest morality upon the perpetrators.
I don't think kids younger than 16 need to have sex. But I also don't think it needs to be a matter law makers need to be concerned with. Yes, I know, the abuse issue. I know. The innocent need protecting...

Then again, it makes me be cautioned, since some parents would ask them to wait until their late 20s to early 30s to have sex, when it comes to school, collage then work, which makes matters of what I am talking about. |

well, or never should they be so pitiful as to never find an acceptable mate to marry...
But at some time a person has to be released to his one responsibility. As a parent you should install the proper values into your child. Maybe a little love so they don't need to substitute fornication with emotion.
I mean, we let kids of 16 years of age navigate 1+ ton of steel in public....

The thing I fear that a person who younger than 21 makes me uneasy seeing some states may find anyone older than 26 to look for an 18 year old would be illegal in some states although it would be legal nationally. |

I... still fail to see the crux of this situation, though. Are you concerned that they're going to up the age of consent to the mid-20s? Has there been some talk of boosting the age of consent on a national level that I somehow have been blissfully unaware of? Why the concern?
Again, in most cases, age of consent is 16 to 18 (given the circumstances). I'm not sure where 21 even figures into it - I suppose that could be a state-specific law, but not of any state that I'm aware of. As far as I know, 21 year olds and 18 years olds are free to have sex together (and do all the time), without repercussions. I think there was a case once where a father actually tried to sue a man in his mid-20s for statutory rape for having sex with his 18 year old daughter; he was unsuccessful.
Once you reach the age of 18, you are a legal adult ('cept for the drinking issue, but that's another kettle of fish). Legislating the sex lives of consenting legal adults is a can of worms I don't think any lawmaker is prepared to open right now, nor should they even want to. You'd see people marching in the streets were that the case.
So, as it stands, legally the "age of consent" is 16 to 18. Once a person hits 18, all bets are off.
What again is the issue here?
