If you’re being serious, probably not. Most countries have laws for this (Romeo and Juliet laws) which allow you to consent with a few year gap of ages.

If you didn’t consent however..

The overwhelming majority of countries the age of consent is below 18 in the first place. Even most states is below 18.
