	It is generally hard to gauge popular opinion on this topic, due to a dearth of reliable polling. '''Debate.org''' conducted a poll, in which over 2/3rds supported reform, with many radical proposals. Between 2008 and some unknown point, '''"misterpoll.com"''' published a large list of questions related to the Age of Consent. Their respondents, mainly men, answered mostly between the years of 2008 and 2011. Over half did not support the idea of an age of consent, and 86% agreed that minors should be able to perform in a strip tease.
