Im viewing this from a non criminal standpoint now ofcourse.
The "ladder" you talk of is real, this is my point. What you find "wrong" today might not be considered wrong tomorrow or 40 years later.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent in this global society what is going to happen?
This has nothing to do with orientation, it is to do with what law makers decide. I personally think the age should be 17.

If i'd look at it from a crime standpoint i'd have to say that no matter what age you are, if the concent between the two humans isn't there, it's called rape or sexual abuse.
And i'm pretty sure the things you mentioned before will always be seen as a crime in the eyes of pretty much everyone, unless you're Charles Manson.
Raising age for concent is good if you belive that someone under 17 isn't ready to make decisions about their own body and so forth, but it's still their own body.
I reckon you are American, and you let your teenagers get their driverslicence at 16, so they should be able to drive, and potentially kill other people, and themselves, but not have sexual relations with other people, killing no one? (you see where im getting at with this argument) Unless they get infected with AIDS, in which case they're fucked anyway.
