Wow. I wasn’t aware of that either.

The way the laws are now pretty much gives the “right” of young people to have sex with each other. In many instances it just makes it so that the two “consenting teens” have to be less than 3 years apart in age. So the whole idea of teens not being able to legally consent to sex is already shot. They can have legal sex until the cows come home, as long as they have it with somebody who is within 3 years of their own age. The legal justifications for that can’t help but be blurry - leaving the way wide open for the argument that age shouldn’t matter at all.

Exactly. Once the society has taken the position that children can be voluntary sexual participants *at all*, there is no logical limit to a total free-for-all short of a general agreement on criminalizing violent coercion.

Psychologists now like to say we are all "sexual beings" from birth, and that's true (from conception) if it means that every person is genetically either male or female. However, that's not what they mean. If you take a look at what the UN considers "basic rights" regarding sexuality, it will make you sick.
