In my opinion anything under 16 is almost categorically disgusting, but the age is indeed arbitrary. Some objective way of determining the ability to give informed consent would be far better. Children develop this ability with different things over time. Even people 40 years old can't give informed consent about things they are not informed on and able to make rational choices on. An objective standard would be nice to have, but it is difficult to determine, especially in a culture that doesn't respect individuals and individual differences, which is most cultures extant. That is why the cutoff is an arbitrary age, instead of an objective measure more closely related to the ability to give informed consent.
