Soaps aren't meant to be anything more than fantasy. If people approach them with that, then there's absolutely no harm done. For those people who don't approach them that way and believe in the stories they're watching, then those are the type of people who would read any Sci-Fi novel and believe whole-heartedly that what's written in those pages are true as well. That's no reason to talk down to people who like soaps.
And the laws that were made indicating that 14-year-olds having sex is illegal were made by right-wing conservatives who Bible-thump their beliefs right beyond the Separation of Church and State deal. It's ridiculous. It's one thing to protect a child from an actual real pedophile. It's another thing to impede the exploration that all teens go through in growing up. If they're taught that sex is illegal and a sin, then they're more likely to grow up with hang-ups about sex and never have a truly happy and healthy life. They'll either freeze up and fear sex and life or they'll go completely the other direction and take chances with their health by fucking around indiscriminantly. Rather if teens were taught that sex is a beautiful and wonderful thing between responsible parties, done safely and carefully, then there's no reason why teens shouldn't engage in sex.
The law, most of the time, was made merely to hold people back under control. Law is abused right and left by the people who are supposed to be enforcing it.
