Once they turn 18 they right away lose their attractiveness, right?
Besides, it's illegal to have any sort of sexual intercourse with ppl under 18.

Two words man - marital agreement.

Well there is only a minority of women who becomes better with age.

In the USA - may be. In Russia pro-US activists also want to rise age of consent so it to be like in the US.

I do not know how it is in the US but here you cannot negotiate anything in marital agreement.
You cannot negotiate that the kid will remain with you, you cannot negotiate your right to meet with him, you cannot negotiate alimony, you cannot negotiate abortion rights,
you cannot evict your former wife from your home if there are children, you cannot negotiate the usage of the state financial bonus for childbirth (only the woman can use it as she wishes).

As far as I know, Family Code (Семейный кодекс) provides for arrangement of everything that concerns property before marriage (this would be a marital agreement, so in theory it is possible to decide how property would be divided in case of divorce even before marriage), but I don't remember what it says about children.

There is an interesting sci-fi novel by Viktor Pelevin "Snuff" who describes an anti-utopian post-apocaliptic society where an English-speaking society "Big Byz" similar to the US flyes in an artificial island over a Slavic speaking Urkaine.
The Big Byz has age of consent of 46 years and there is a debate to increase it to 48 (while the life duration remains the same as now). And many people fuck robotic dolls because of that. There is even an LGBT society of doll-fuckers. And the Big Byz tries to impose that practice on the Urkaine (they even cover in media those of Urkaine who fucks potatoe sacs as sex minorities). There are other interesting things in the book. For example, Big Byz frequently bombs Urkaine under ridiculous pretexts and the elites and dissidents of Urkaine support that. The very name "snuff" if referred to such staged "wars" in whick real people(soldiers) of Urkaine die while in the Biz Byz the wars are used as an entertainment due to their overwhelming technical superiority and absence of any casualties.
