Thanks for all the replies.
So as far as I understand the most of You think that there are only super-conservative girls who would never have sex before 18, or super-sluts who bang 5 different people each day? Isn’t there something between both? People who are just in a good mood and want to have some fun from time to time?
One important thing that hasn’t been mentioned on the age of consent: a person who is traveling or living abroad and has sexual relations with a person of the age of consent under the laws of the the host country MIGHT still be subject to prosecution in their home country if the other party was below the age of consent under the laws of the home country – depending on what the laws of the home country say about this (I don’t know what the law in Germany is on this).
Very good point. From Wikipedia I was surprised to learn that he should be fine, though. In my home country Germany it seems the age of consent technically is 14, as long as the other party is under 21 (plus some additional clauses trying to protect 14-15 years old people from being taken advantage of by 18+ people):
The age of consent in Germany is 14, as long as a person over the age of 21 does not exploit a 14–15 year-old person's lack of capacity for sexual self-determination, in which case a conviction of an individual over the age of 21 requires a complaint from the younger individual; being over 21 and engaging in sexual relations with a minor of that age does not constitute an offense in and of itself. Otherwise the age of consent is 14, although provisions protecting minors against abuse apply until the age of 18 (under Section 182(1), it is illegal to engage in sexual activity with a person under 18 "by taking advantage of an exploitative situation"[quote=“jesus80”]My advice: stick to wanking. In Taiwan, specially at that age, most of the girls who would be willing to go to bed with is because either of these options:
a) they do it with hundreds of people per year. Who knows what you are going to get out of it
b) they do it for love. You would be taking advantage of them[/quote]
Totally agree with b: Since he is here only a limited time, would be really bad to exploit someone like that. There definitely are Taiwanese that fall between a and b, although I must admit I only know of 2 that were like that at 16 (and no, not from own experience - I am a wee bit too old for this kind of age group). Unfortunately (?) for the OP, the best ways to meet those probably would be over 18+ websites, so too bad for him hehe :nyah:
Can you sing or dance? Play the guitar…? Try to imitate the performers in one of those boy bands.
Invite a classmate to study together, then light candles and pour wine…? (Better make it hard likker.)
Tell girls you love them, and that you think fate brought you together?
Learn hypnosis? Offer massages?
Save up money for a trip to some well-known sexual paradise, like Zambia or Belarus?
Join some church or religion with lots of hot babes in it? (If you start your own, then they HAVE to sleep with you)
Go on Grindr, tell people to meet you at the “glory hole”?
And isn’t there some study showing that if you ask 100 or 1000 or however many strangers to sleep with you, some of them will inevitably say yes…? You could try that method. Start with the girl sitting next to you!
Keep your shlong bagged and stay out of trouble. Visit a prostitute if you must. Pay as you go. Much better then getting married at 16. Or getting killed by the girl or her parents or having someone commit suicide or having someone push you off a roof. Or being a daddy at 16.
Best to spank that monkey good ya’hear sonny boy? 
If you wuz banging my sixteen year old daughter. Hell knows what I would do? I would probably have you sleep with my wife too ! So I don’t have to do the dirty. It will be ten times the wife and one time with the young one. Then I would probably string your ass up and give you a whippin you won’t soon ferget young fella.
Tommy, I had sex at 16. It was quite nice. Despite the church, my parents, school and society telling me I would GET AIDS and DIE (80s), or GET PREGNANT (fate worse than death) and be some sad loser teenage brood mare. Or I might cop off with a weirdo and DIE or get syphilis and DIE. It was all fine though, partly because I’m not an idiot.
I’m not sure advising a 16 year old to visit a prostitute so he doesn’t get pushed off a roof is entirely balanced advice. 
May not be all that unusual in Europe or North America. But on the rock it is dicing with trouble, more so then in those places.
There are sixteen year old TW girls out there banging like banshees. I guess it would be ok to hang out with them. But it would be wrong to involve some young 16 year old virgin who thinks shes found her one true love and she’s “fated” to be with him. THAT is tangling with trouble.
He would be better off hanging around 25 plus year old TW girls. At least they are more mature. And although it would be illegal for the girls, he can keep his mouth shut can’t he?
I’m not entirely sure what this means, but apparently the “hipster” style is very popular. Maybe that can help.
Honestly this thread sort of horrifies me. I’m so glad that when I was a teenager, I had the presence of mind to not be enslaved by this obsession with sex. OP: you are in high school, and have miraculously been given the incredible opportunity to study abroad, in Taiwan of all countries, and your primary concern is getting laid? I don’t think you realize what an opportunity you’ve been given as an exchange student. There’ll be time for fooling around later; use your precious gift to appreciate this travel opportunity. God youth is wasted on the young. When you look back on this trip thirty years from now, do you want to remember all the amazing sights you saw and all the opportunity for cultural exchange and global awareness you gained, or do you want to remember how you spent your time on some message board trying to figure out how to get in some girl’s pants? I don’t know if you’ve heard the expression “casting pearls before swine”, but, ugh. Look around you. Getting laid should be the least of your priorities.
Blah blah blah, okay, here are some great pick-up lines:
But then again, you only live once. What, I wonder, is the OP supposed to take home from Taiwan’s world-class educational system? And I don’t see why cultural exchange must of necessity exclude the exchange of bodily fluids. Is it somehow better to be enslaved by an obsession with exams and a lifetime of fluorescent-lit blue cubicles?
A little classic R.L.Stephenson to put things in perspective:
[i]It is surely beyond a doubt that people should be a good deal idle in youth. For though here and there a Lord Macaulay may escape from school honours with all his wits about him, most boys pay so dear for their medals that they never afterwards have a shot in their locker, and begin the world bankrupt. And the same holds true during all the time a lad is educating himself, or suffering others to educate him. It must have been a very foolish old gentleman who addressed Johnson at Oxford in these words: “Young man, ply your book diligently now, and acquire a stock of knowledge; for when years come upon you, you will find that poring upon books will be but an irksome task.”
The old gentleman seems to have been unaware that many other things besides reading grow irksome, and not a few become impossible, by the time a man has to use spectacles and cannot walk without a stick. Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a mighty bloodless substitute for life. It seems a pity to sit, like the Lady of Shalott, peering into a mirror, with your back turned on all the bustle and glamour of reality. And if a man reads very hard, as the old anecdote reminds us, he will have little time for thought.[/i]
The OP, assuming he is real, doesn’t appear to be either an asshole or an idiot, so what difference does it make if he keeps in it his pants until he’s 18, or 21, or 45, or whatever the US-government approved age is?
It horrifies you? Seriously? Why not enjoy sex when those teenage hormones are raging? That’s what memories are made of. That’s the inspiration for art! Have you never listened to “Night Moves”? Are you the Church Lady? Have you never listened to rock ‘n’ roll? Why do cultural exchange and teenage sex have to be mutually exclusive? Yes, there will be time for fooling around later, but there’s also time for fooling around now, and there’s no time like the present! I’m sure glad that I wasn’t taking advice from fuddy-duddies like you when I was a teenager…
And look where we are now.
I wish I’d been less of a dick when I was younger, prettier and smarter. I could have gone to a better uni, had a better career.
Rock n roll, for sure, but he ain’t that either.
Focus is important.
Everyone was a dick when they were younger. Part of being younger is learning how not to be such a dick. And none of us know what WOULD have happened if we’d made choices XYZ. You might indeed have gone to some fashionable university … and then ended up spending your life in board meetings blithering earnestly about synergy and best practice.
I know plenty of parents who spent the last couple of decades working their asses off and talk wistfully about not spending more time with their kids while they were growing up, because “those years will never come again”. Well, the same applies to the kids. I find it appalling that we make little kids - especially stupid kids - sit through badly-designed lessons about subjects they’ll never use and can’t comprehend, when they’d be much happier, and would probably learn just as much, by grubbing around in the dirt outside. There’s a whole lot of talk these days about letting them enjoy the “innocence of childhood”, but in reality adults are only prepared to let them enjoy it on their terms. And besides, I don’t think childhood (or adolescence) is about “innocence” at all: children are little bastards, and I think the purpose of one’s early years is to screw up as much as possible while the consequences remain fairly minor.
Sure, kids need to be educated. They need to learn how to get on well with all kinds of people, and how to get what they want without the use of a broken bottle. They need to learn how to feed and clothe and house themselves, and how to handle the money that provides those things. They need to learn what being a parent is going to mean. None of that is taught in school. You get it from your parents, or you learn it yourself (or not, in most cases). Once you’ve got those things sorted, you’ll have the time and the wherewithal to keep your head in a book.
Anyway, WRT to the OPs situation, I think adolescence is the one time in your life when affairs of the … heart can remain legitimately shallow. It’s foolish to talk about teenagers being “emotionally incapable” of having “meaningful relationships”. Of course they’re emotionally incapable. That’s the whole point. You can experiment and then write it down to experience. If you’re hurt (or hurt someone else’s feelings), well, you’ve learned something useful for the future. The idea that maturity simply arrives by magic on one’s 18th birthday is wishful thinking by puritanical minds.

That’s what did happen. If I’d been less of a lazy pointless cow, I might have gotten a good education.
maybe, maybe not. I was a lazy git when I was at uni (at school not so much). I hardly even turned up for entire modules, scraped through the exams, and came out with a 2.2. Still, I’ve got more-or-less everything I could possibly want from life - although I wouldn’t exactly call my career a “career”, it’s more like a hobby that people pay me for. There is essentially no connection between what I do now and what I did at school or university.
I can think of several pearls of wisdom I might usefully have given my younger self, but “have less sex” is definitely not one of them.
We make our choices and we live with them; we can’t go back and change stuff; the only thing that matters is what we do today. You occasionally see documentaries about the “dangers” of teenage sex and drugs where they’ll wheel out some moon-faced 20-year-old twiddling her fingers and looking at the floor, expressing regret about (say) having sex “too early”. Who put ideas like that into her head? How, exactly, is that likely to have irreparably damaged a girl’s life (unless, obviously, she was raped or ended up pregnant)? How is it productive to teach young people to regret things that cannot be changed, and can just as easily be framed as something positive?
It’s different for women.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, just that it depends.
I guess I was lucky I was chicken. When I was 16, my bud said there was this classmate who could do the both of us. I went along with him to her house. And I was so glad that it wasn’t happening. LOL.
She would not have appealed to me anyway.
I lost my virginity at 19 to a 29 year old who seduced me. And that was a lot of fun 
At 16 a lot of people are not quite ready to handle the “sword”.
You’re overthinking this, as I did at your age. Just learn how to ask for what you want in a tactful way. Don’t be afraid of showing that you’re interested or looking like a fool. If it doesn’t work out, you just move along and your life goes on. Best of luck.
Whatever the OP does, he needs to get some condoms. Every single 7-11 has them, so there’s no excuse.
It’s unbelievable how many young people in this country are fucking without any kind of protection whatsoever; it’s like everyone’s forgotten about AIDS, STDs and Babies.
