Then can (and are way too likely) to fail at being informed when consenting.

If they're not informed, that would be rape by deception. I would say that that should be illegal at any age, although I would imagine it wouldn't be nearly as bad as being forced.

What exactly do they need to be informed about? They can get diseases from it, I guess. I'm pretty sure putting someone in danger like that without warning them would be illegal without anything specific about pedophilia.

Also you're probably talking about hebephilia.

That too. There should be a term for pedophelia and hebephilia. Especially considering that pedophelia is commonly used to mean those two and ephebophilia.

To clarify, I mean that it might be nearly impossible to properly inform humans below some age (maybe even relatively high age).

Inform them of what? How bad can the consequences of them not being informed of it possibly be?
