If you were born in the 80s you are of consent age is correct but also it wasn't until 1986 that the age variable was added to the laws of consent. Meaning, you could be 40 years old pre-1986 and still have a relationship with someone as young as you wanted provided it was consensual. That's where the whole it was acceptable at the time line comes from.
Your 1986 statement is not correct. It depended upon the state, and most states had set the age at 16. It has, over time, been reduced. Now in many states it's 13 (under 13 and the man...or woman...will be arrested).
