Information on the situation for homosexuals on the
Isle of Man:
 
Legal?
 
I have not found any information on the situation for homosexuals on the Isle of Man, but I assume that the issue of legality and age of consent is the same as in the United Kingdom. After all, the Isle of Man has quite a name to live up to. 

The age of consent in the United Kingdom, of which the Isle of Man is not a part, was lowered to 16 for all sexual relations on June 22, 1998. I don't know whether the age of consent was lowered from 17 to 16 in Northern Ireland as well. Anal intercourse ("sodomy") between men is illegal! For more information, see the eastgarden United Kingdom page (coming soon). 

If you have any further information on the current situation on the Isle of Man, please contact me.

There is no age limit to view softcore adult material in the UK. Hardcore 18?
