Based on how people mature, what's the optimal age of consent (to both prevent genuine abuse and allow voluntary sexual relationships)? If you argue it should be >16 years, why are you going against historical social concepts of maturity (and biological sexual maturity)?

18, because I remember being a teenager, and I was fucking dumb.
There should be a clause however that it's not rape if the other partner is under 20, but 16 or older
tl;dr, 16-19 year olds shouldn't be statutory rape, age of true consent/adulthood should be 18. Drinking age should be 18.
10 or 11

Reasonable but given when puberty usually starts (and when it really gets going) I'd err on the side of caution. 12-13

I remember i was really fucking horny when i was 10, i'd fap 6 times per day and think of nothing but boobs and ass.
If some older girl offered to have sex with her at that age i'd do it in a heartbeat
I recall a sense of purity and naivety until I was 20 desu. I think age of concent should be where it is at 18, but from 16-18 should be it's own class, with a buffer from 17-19.
That way kids can experiment, because they will, without fear of legality.
But uh, if you say 10-12 it's because you're kirubashi trollman or you're a genuine pedophile and deserve to be castrated.

Biologically? Either 10-15 or 20-25. The former is the start of puberty the latter is the end of puberty. Under the former you can make babies ergo its okay for you to fuck. Under the latter you have reached full sexual maturity and your hormones are no longer fluctuating.

18 is still dumb. Hell most if the 20s are dumb
Children aren't asexual creatures, i don't understand why child sexuality triggers people so much.

I agree.

Age is not a factor their ability to reason should be consent.
Everyone should have to take a "age of reasonability" ID card which states whether or not they can use their faculties properly to make judgments. Now this would disqualify 90% of the population, but that should be fine. Those don't need to breed.
