If it was up to you to set a new age of consent, what would the age be and why?

Since I never got to play as a teen, I wish I could go back to 14 for a month.

 

Then, I could play as much as I wanted.

My first gf was 14 . She was totally ready for sex. 

In US it's 16-18 depending on the State you live in. What the hell does it matter what State you are in . 

Maybe it should be the family doctor who sets the age for each kid. Good for thought there.

Who determines when one is ready for sex?  I believe it is likely there are individuals younger than age of consent laws that are truly emotionally and physically available for sex.   I also believe that for most who were were not ready.  All sorts of beliefs and norms that one grows up with are composed of a broad range of factors.  I've met some otherwise well adjusted individuals where sexual association by an older individual in their youth had no adverse impact on their lives.  I think if initiated by the youth, they're likely ready.  But when we're looking back in time, how can it be proven without a doubt who that person is.  Thus we need the imperfect metric of age.  

Age of consent should be whenever the person is able to sign contracts.
