Wants and needs. I would not want a world restricted to "why does anyone need [x]?" but is important to understand the difference.

In the case of the subject at hand, sex drive is powerful for most people in their teens but it is certainly not a need. Indeed, immature choices can screw up your whole life. There, I think, is the reason for age of consent laws.

We already have more than enough pull to screw up our lives in youth without some asshole adult coming along and pushing us off that cliff.
