Well, you're in luck, because it's not.
Protections are in place, and consequences will result, but that doesn't stop a person from living the life they want (choosing to have sex with an adult, smoke cigarettes, enter into a contract, drink alcohol) if they are resolute about doing so.
Consequences don't stop people from living the kind of life they want -- their own beliefs about the possible consequences are what stop them.
