I'm 15 years old, and I believe that I should be able to (legally) consent to having sex with someone who is older than 18. CMV

I believe that I should be allowed to consent to have sex with someone who is older than 18, if I so desired. I know the dangers of unprotected sex, I know how to be safe, and I know the emotional consequences that can follow.

 I don't believe that because I'm 15, I somehow don't have the capacity to know, comprehend, and consent to having sex. I'm not some incompetent, mindless baby that can't think for himself.I think it's really stupid to say that someone my age can't consent. What makes me any less able to consent than someone who's, say, 18?

So, CMV. 
 
I'm a Bisexual guy too, if that matters.

Age of consent laws are about making crude, wide brush effort to protect young people from relationships with huge power imbalances that could easily become manipulative or abusive. While many people probably as young as 14 or 15 are fully capable of making informed decisions of this nature, it's thought that most are not so the line is drawn at 16 or 17 or 18. Of course, plenty over that age are still not really capable of making wise choices, but again it's a crude wide brush effort. There can never be a perfect age of consent or age of majority since every individual matures at a different rate. There simply has to be a balance between protecting people incapable of protecting themselves and limiting the freedom of people capable of making their own choices.
