You do all know that the age of consent is 16 in the majority of states in the United States. Right?

State and federal laws are two different things. If you are flying internationally, federal laws apply and that means 18 or older.  

Let's keep this discussion to 18+ for the forum's sake please, at the very least.

Lest the symposium inadvertently drift to overly USA-centric …

In contrast to USA extraterritorial jurisdiction based on age of majority 18 years, Canada’s extraterritorial jurisdiction is based on age of majority 16 years. In both nations and about one-quarter of countries globally with similar ETJ legislation, the legal reach is domestic prosecution for activity abroad.

Otherwise, a Canadian tourist is subject to local abroad age of majority standard, eg, 17, 18 in countries where it exceeds 16. Prosecution in those cases applied locally. 

As such, for example, it is apparent that a 22-year old Canadian is not free to be intimate with a 16 year old Canadian friend when they are in Detroit, compared to its acceptability in Windsor, assuming for the latter location the older person not defined as a position of essential authority and it isn’t transactional, “obtaining sexual services for consideration”.

That said, obtaining sexual services for consideration is more serious and with harsher penalties for the purchaser when the provider is under the age of 18. Age of majority, definition of minor, shifts according to the Protection of Communities Act. I assume that the ETJ applies abroad and the age 18 minimum provider age standard underscored in the thread clearly stands.

Let us be very clear: in ALL countries, a provider in this hobby HAS to be 18+.  Period. 

Thanks for the clarification.  I have to admit I was a bit confused because you had earlier advised OP to "[g]o to Belgium. Netherlands. Germany. Etc," presumably to avoid the restrictions or uncertainty of US law.

I referenced those countries bc the hobby is legal there. But even there providers HAVE to be 18+. It is illegal for anyone under that age. So let’s stop confusing two very different scenarios: unpaid vs paid. 

There's no difference here between paid and unpaid. US citizens cannot travel to have sex with under 18yo, paid or unpaid. It's not about just providers being 18+. Unpaid situations are illegal for US citizens traveling international too. There are no "different scenarios" here.

There is an undercurrent of revulsion here to the scenario of a 50-year-old man having sex with a 16-year-old boy. And I'm not giving you legal advice here, but if you're in Michigan or one of 30 other states and a 16 year old boy on his birthday shows you his ID and proves that he's 16 and you see his birth certificate and you absolutely know that he's 16 and he wants to sit on your dick then you absolutely legally can. It is probably very dangerous to hire him because then you run afoul of a lot of other server laws. Some of you might be disgusted by the image of a 16 yr old boy and a grown man, but trust me this whole forum bathes in things that a majority of Americans think is pretty disgusting and unethical. I think it's okay to cast stones sometimes because I hate false equivalencies.  But I think it's important to not fear monger. Being disgusted with each other is of course acceptable and indeed commonplace on this board.

any legal behavior, lifestyle, or cultural practice that falls outside the rigidly enforced norms of the state can invite harassment or violence from both the state and civilian informants.

Sexual attraction to children is not a "lifestyle" that most civilized countries tolerate. You can play revolutionary all you want but eventually this kind of playing-with-fire habit is gonna get you behind bars. YES, you need to be SURE that your partners are of legal age.
