The age of consent varies depending on country and state, so you should definitely do some research on that. In my dramedy, my female is also 16 and her love interest is 19, so even though the story is based in Massachusetts and she can legally consent, ANY non-consensual sex is illegal and should not be promoted. I use the word “promoted” solely because this is your love interest we’re taking about and that is dangerous behavior.
No hate here, but I think you should change the scene and your love interest’s behavior/outlook on sex and consent.
