& philosophers assert that calling it that is unfairly denigrating to those who support or engage in "intergenerational love".
Pickle has posted excerpts from Rothbard's book on liberty multiple times, which would certainly seem to indicate that children have a right to leave their parents and move in with whomever they want, at which point they have all the rights of self-ownership as an adult and to make whatever decisions they want to, including of course, whether they want to engage in any sort of sex acts they want with whomever they want, no?

But when are we to say that this parental trustee jurisdiction over children shall come to an end? Surely any particular age (21,18, or whatever) can only be completely arbitrary. The clue to the solution of this thorny question lies in the parental property rights in their home. For the child has his full rights of self-ownership when he demonstrates that he has them in nature — in short, when he leaves or "runs away" from home. Regardless of his age, we must grant to every child the absolute right to run away and to find new foster parents who will voluntarily adopt him, or to try to exist on his own. Parents may try to persuade the runaway child to return, but it is totally impermissible enslavement and an aggression upon his right of self-ownership for them to use force to compel him to return. The absolute right to run away is the child's ultimate expression of his right of self-ownership, regardless of age.
