24. Still it's not that clear cut

The age of consent is an arbitrary number.

Canada is not far from us as far as culture goes, but the age of consent is 14. You could take a 14yo to a swing club there and let her interact sexually with multiple partners, as long she consents to the acts. Most all swing clubs have their own rules baring people less than 18 (or 21 in the US), but there is no law that says you can't.

I'm not advocating lowering the age of consent, just pointing out that it is not such a black and white issue.
