I disagree.
That idea would create a whole slue of statutory rape cases destroying the lives of young people.
I began having sex at the tender age of 13, with a 15 year-old girl. Most of my friends were engaging in various activities between the ages of 15 -17. Granted this was back in the 60's and 70's but I don't think things have changed all that much.
However we have teens being charged with statutory rape with only a couple years difference in age in the minority of states where the age of consent is 18, absent a close-in-age exception.
Last I checked, the average age of consent in the majority of U.S. states and countries around the world is 16. I think that is both rational and reasonable. Of course I also think it is rational and reasonable to teach Sex Education in an honest way beginning in Middle School, because I know kids are going to experiment whether we teach them or not, and they should know what's what before they make mistakes out of ignorance.
The fact that you declare an attraction for teen girls in the age group you would like to make illegal, as if making it illegal would be a further barrier to your desires???
THAT makes me suspicious of your real desires.
In a messed up world like this the law needs to communicate morality. Like I said - I have known adults that have had a 16 year old girl living with them as their girlfriend. And they were not close in age. And yes there could be close in age exception of maybe three years that would cover any problems. So a 21 year old man could only have sex with an 18 year old. 21 and 17 or 16 is too much of a gap. 16 is too young for adults to have sex with them.
And if I find some teenage girls attractive - like most do - then of course I have desires and if stuff is legal then it is only my morality keeping me from looking for a 16 yer old girlfriend - and a lot of peoples own personal morality is not enough to keep them in check it seems so we need better laws.

edit- Its all about advantage. An adult has an advantage over even the wisest teenage girl. And I am very confident that public opinion would support the idea that men of 21 and over should not be living with or having sex with a 17 or 16 year old girl.
edit - And I think that a big problem is that it seems that the people in control of US hegemony do want to have sex with young teenage girls ( read about so-called Fantasy Island for example. ) - so you get all of this suggestion that 14 or 13 might be a good legal age. All the push is to normalize the thinking and to lower age and not to bring in updated civilized laws.
Most people do not want adults having sex with 16 year old girls. The law could be changed to 18 easily - especially with close in age exceptions - so why is there no talk of this? Why is all the push to lower? It is because the wealthy want to have sex with your teenage daughters and for you to say that it is ok. Its only poor girls that end up working as 16 year old sex slaves on Fantasy Island you know.
edit- But hey - we treat 14 year old terrorists as adults here in Australia.
