The term adult personals describes any mature organism, but normallyit refers to a human: one that is no longer a child / minorand is now either a man or a woman. Coming of age is theevent of becoming an adult personal, i.e. of entering adulthood.Historically, adulthood has been determined by puberty,which is physical or biological adulthood; passing a seriesof tests to demonstrate the child is prepared for adulthood;or reaching a specified age, sometimes in conjunction withdemonstrating preparation. Most modern societies determinelegal adulthood based on reaching a legally-specified agewithout requiring a demonstration of physical maturity orpreparation for adulthood."Adult personal" also means "not considered suitable for children",in particular as a euphemism for being related to sexual behaviour, such as adult entertainment, adult video, adultmagazine, adult bookstore, adult personals, adult photo personals.However, adult education simply means education for adults,not particularly sex education.Legal implicationsLegally it means that one can engage in a contract. Thesame or a different minimum age may be applicable to, forexample, parents losing parenting rights and duties regardingthe person concerned, parents losing financial responsibility,marriage, voting, having a job, being a soldier,buying/possessing firearms (if legal at all), driving,travelling abroad, smoking, sex, gambling (both lotteryand casino) being a prostitute (if legal at all), being aclient of a prostitute, being a model or actor in ****ography,etc. Admission of a young person to a place may be restrictedbecause of danger for that person, and/or because of the riskthat the young person causes damage (for example, at anexhibition of fragile items).One can distinguish the legality of acts of a young person,and of enabling a young person to carry out that act, byselling, renting out, showing, permitting entrance,participating, etc. There may be distinction betweencommercially and socially enabling. Sometimes there is therequirement of supervision by a legal guardian, or just byan adult personal. Sometimes there is no requirement, but just arecommendation.With regard to ****ography one can distinguish:- being allowed inside an adult establishment- being allowed to purchase ****ography- being allowed to possess ****ography- another person being allowed to sell, rent out, or show the young person ****ography, see disseminating ****ography to a minor- being a model or actor of woman photos: rules for the young person, and for other people, regarding production, possession, etc.With regard to movies with violence, etc.:- another person being allowed to sell, rent out, or show the young person the movie, a cinema being allowed to let the young person (under 18) enterThe legal definition of entering adulthood usually variesbetween ages 16-21, depending on the region in question.Some cultures in Africa define adult at age 13, and theIndians of Guatemala consider adulthood at age 10, accordingto Nobel Peace Price winner Rigoberta Menchu in herautobiography, I, Rigoberta Menchu: An Indian Woman inGuatemala.According to Jewish tradition, adulthood is reached at age13 for boys and 12 for girls (although this was orginallynot automatic; Jewish boys, for example, were expected todemonstrate preparation for adulthood by learning the Torahand other Jewish practices). The Christian Bible and Jewishscripture has no age requirement for adulthood or marrying,which includes engaging in sexual activity. According toThe Disappearance of Childhood by Neil Postman, the ChristianChurch of the Middle Ages considered the age of accountability,when a person could be tried and even executed as an adult,to be age 7.In the modern world, including the United States, theUnited Kingdom, and China, legal adult age is 18. Exceptions:- 16: Scotland- 17: Indonesia- 19: South Korea- 20: JapanAdult personals characteristicsThere are some qualities that symbolize adultness in mostcultures.
