boyfriend is 20

my b/f just turned 20. im going to be 17 in a month. if we dont have sex, is it still illegal?

Depends on your state, but I don't believe so. You are over the age of 16, which means parental consent is no longer a factor. Besides dating someone, and having sexual conduct with them are two separate issues.

Be more careful...

The age of consent varies from state to state. In fact, there are more states with the age of consent being 18 than you think... including CA. Post us where your state is...

To name a few that have 18 as the age of consent, they are...
Wisconsin
Virginia
Tennessee
Oregon
North Dakota
Arizona

I don't recall dating being illegal. As far as anyone else is concerned, you could be friends. Sex is a different story...
