Question: When I was 16 my boyfriend was 21. We had sex and I also gave him oral. I know in Oklahoma legal age to consent is 16 but I've heard that for oral and anal at the age of 16 I couldn't consent to that. Can my boyfriend get in trouble for me giving him oral

Answer: You mention Oklahoma's legal age. Arizona's legal age of consent is 18. If the act occurred in Arizona, then yes your boyfriend could be in trouble.
