What implications exactly?

Any implications. Say CBS wants a three year old to star in a show. So they go find a kid that will do it for lollipops. That's not enforceable because the child does not understand the implications implied in their consent.

What implications exactly?

Sex can have very complicated and serious implications, you really should ask your mother and father.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

We need them because a person who is less mature often does not understand the implications of what they are consenting to.

If that's true does it mean Watermark has to wait till he's 40?

He has to wait until a woman (or man) agrees to have sex with him. That might well be past 40.
