Age of consent is already quite cultural— even if the laws go away, people will still be disgusted by paedophilia and make attempts to prevent it. Murder is often considered unacceptable not because there are laws in place but because it disgusts people— the same applies to age-of-consent cases. There does not have to be an “official” age of consent, but it could instead be culturally defined— for example, if you asked around a town, the average answer might be “18”.
