No, and I'm glad you brought the point up.

There are some countries, eg Canada which have what I've heard referred to as a "two year gap" law, ie that provided there's no more that two years difference between the participants, then the (consenting) act is acceptable eg for a fourteen year old to have sex with a sixteen year old would be ok, but not with a twenty two year old.

For more information (and a lot of reading!) see http://www.ageofconsent.com
