14-16 year old "children" are usually well into puberty and women are fertile. It is perfectly normal to let them consent in sexual relations. And I don't see what's wrong for a 16 year old "child" to have sex with a 18 year old "adult".
And you have to realize that 14-16 is the age of consent. It means that younger than that, a child simply cannot legally consent, any sex act is rape, no matter how well informed and how much the child wants it.
But it doesn't mean anything after that is a free pass, you still need actual consent. And manipulating someone into having sex is not consent, no matter the age, but it is especially true for minors who are easy targets. There may also be laws where for having sex with a minor also require consent from a legal guardian. Of course, sex work for minors is also illegal.
I think these CSAM laws are terrible, but at least, in Europe, the idea of protecting the children is not keeping teens in chastity.
