I hate to break this to you but in Japan the legal age of consent is 13 as opposed to other countries where it is 16 or higher. So Bulma was not underage.
She told them flat out that she was underage, actually. Granted, she may have been lying.
Underage for perhaps voting and other legal rights. Not for sexual consent.

^Ok, now that I think about it, I don't know how accurate the Funimation dub of Dragon Ball is. I was under the impression that the script for Episodes 14-153 was accurate, which this falls under. It may be a modification. So, in that case, Original Bulma we don't know about, but Dub Bulma is definitely underage.

I would imagine the Viz translation is fairly accurate considering it tried so stick as close to the original content as possible. Kienzan, Kikoho, Shin Kikoho, Taiyoken, etc.

Everything I've ever read or seen has Bulma at 16 when she firsts meets Goku. She's underage in the states, but not Japan or the UK.

Reminding me that Bulma is 16/17 during the Red Ribbon arc makes Kamesennin's Pafu Pafu moments a year prior less funny and more creepy. :sick:


Chichi: Heavily implied to be a virgin.

Videl: Clearly a virgin.

#18: A delinquent (by Japanese standards) prior to becoming an android and a bit of a flirt, too. It's very unlikely that she's a virgin. At the very least, she got to third base at a few times.

Bulma: Clearly not a virgin. She comes from a very sex-positive family. I wouldn't call her a slut or anything like that, but it wouldn't surprise me to learn she had the odd one-night stand. Meanwhile, it would be very unrealistic to assume she never hooked up with Yamcha, who in turn didn't end up as her husband.

Bulma's Mom: Really depends on how young she was when she first slept with Dr. Briefs. I see her sleeping around.

Lunch: No. There's no way dark-haired Lunch didn't have some good clean (or dirty) fun and it's implied she never married. Meanwhile, blond-haired Lunch is very direct in what she wants, so she would have easily hooked up with someone at some point.

Marron: God, I hope she's a virgin by the end of the series. **Looks at Kamesennin while shuddering**

Erasa: I want to say no. Again, not calling her a slut or anything, but I see her having a healthy sexual lifestyle, which would statistically mean she wouldn't be a virgin prior to marriage.

The girls whom Oolong "kidnapped": NNNOOOOOO WAY these sugar babies made it to to marriage before giving it up.

Ranfan: Given her fighting style, I think she's mastered her means of manipulating men by leading a thoroughly sexual lifestyle.

Videl's teacher: You KNOW that dame's been it gettinn' it on for decades! :wink:

Blonde-haired Lunch probably raped someone or offered sex to guys she can't take down with physical force.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Are there two instances where she is approached by two Red Ribbon Army members? Because I just checked my manga and found what I think you're talking about. She doesn't say anything about being underage. Though if it is in the anime and dubbed I would imagine they would modify it to be more acceptable given that most countries have a more reasonable legal consent age.
What chapter is that specifically? do you know?

Bulma: I highly doubt it, she did have a long on and off again relationship with Yamcha, and before her and Vegeta started a proper relationship they where having casual sex, so she doesn't really need allot of commitment before sex.

18: Also doubt it, like someone else said, she was a delinquent, now that by no means says she was sexually active, but i am sure she isn't innocent in most spheres of life.

Chichi and Videl: Pretty sure they where virgins

Sex should be preserved until you are married.

Real-life moral issues aside, remember that virginity is more valued in the East than it is in the West unfortunately.

With that in mind, I wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions to a default "no" to anyone besides Chi-Chi or Videl.

No, but imposing stereotypical Middle-Eastern political control of women's sexuality on others really kinda is.

Sure... Its a great idea to only find out if you are compatible in bed after you get married... Or perhaps not because if you aren't then you are either sexually miserable for the rest of your life or you get a divorce.

That kind of idea is outdated for a good reason, namely because it makes no logical sense. Sex is not evil or sinful and marriage is only a piece of paper that states the couple's willingness to be together and be faithful, and a honest couple doesn't need any kind of paper testifying that to be together and be faithful.

Compatibility in bed is made, not born. It's not about the sex, it's the commitment. But unfortunately many people are way too shallow to look past that. It's in the heart, not the body.

But this really isn't the topic for it. (There needs to be a Random Chat forum on this board).

If that is all there is to it, then every man has a perfect, 100% compatibility with any woman in the planet. It doesn't matter if what they really want sexually is very different, nor if they get frustrated because they have always to accommodate the partner, or any other factor.

Who cares if she is only comfortable with sex with the lights off and only wants the standard position and no other fooling around, which frustrates the man to no end, but accommodating the desires of the man would frustrate the woman to no end?

Who cares if the man has a foot fetish and the woman finds that disturbing and frustrating, but the man finds not satisfying his fetish frustrating?

Any man and any woman would be able to create perfect compatibility just by wanting to.

Obviously, that's naive and untrue.

A couple who has sex before getting married will know what they are in for in that regard during the marriage. A couple who doesn't, won't, and may regret the marriage because of it, only, instead of just breaking up, now they have to get a divorce.
It's not about the sex, it's the commitment. But unfortunately many people are way too shallow to look past that. It's in the heart, not the body.
Like I said in my last post, the heart doesn't need a piece of paper saying marriage. For an honest couple who wants to be together and be faithful, marriage is just a piece of paper and a celebration, nothing else. Thus, that paper is just a formality and waiting for a formality to engage in sex doesn't make much sense.

Actually, it is. Its old-world thinking, typically based on the sinful and wrongness nature of sex, especially outside of marriage, which fits with what we find in the middle east.

Ugh, I was hoping the guys were less narrow-minded this time around. I guess not.

If I'm gonna see people putting words in my mouth, then I don't think the people here are open-minded enough to have a rather healthy discussion here. Not to mention it's being derailed. I assume this is a primarily American site?

I'll remake this topic on another forum. Until then, I'll see you guys around (or not...)

You are wrong, my friend. Marriage is merely apiece of paper, nothing more. Your views are clearly outdated.
