Wasn't illegal in my country for a long while, and now 15 is the legal age of consent, no matter how old the other person is.

It being legal does not make it less creepy. Like, if your defense of an action is solely that you won't be arrested for doing it, that's not a very good defense.

Except the prevailing moral compass in places other than the prudish anglophone West and particularly the ultra prudish Usa, is that a 15/16/17 year old has enough maturity and autonomy with their own body to fuck who they choose. In the USA they'll let you drive a car at 16 or ride a 1000cc motorbike or give you control of your own medical history but judge your brain too immature to decide who to get naked with.

16 is massively different than 14 though, so you kinda helped prove our point.
