Make sex toys legal for sixteen year olds to buy.

What the petition asks
At sixteen young people can legally have sex but you have to be 18 to purchase any kind of sex toy. I belive that sex toys should be available to sixteen year olds, the reason behind my beliefs stems from the very real possibility of std’s and Pregnancy.
Sex toys may have there risks but they are much lower than actually having sex.
I recently went into Ann summers, there was no curtain over the sex toys and there were items littered throughout the store however me and my freind who are both sixteen were asked to leave the area.

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
There aren't any legal age restrictions on buying sex toys in the UK, so we're not sure what action you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
