No. other people's opinions in general don't make anything "right" , "wrong", "good", "bad", "true", "false"
or anything else, for that matter. opinions are opinions, rules are rules, agendas are agendas, traditions are traditions...people sometimes don't have reasoning, solid foundations or even belief to back up what they have deemed right and wrong.
Right and wrong are a thing for debate, because of the systems of morals and ethics that we've all been exposed to or raised in, but just because it's what you're used to doesn't mean it's the be-all-and-end-all.
If you're the two last people on earth, it's up to your own moral code and disgression (it would take a lot of thinking to make the "right choice") where you go with a relationship...
What if you want it to be more like a brother-and-sister type relationship, but you know that to save the species you have to procreate?
What if all you want is hot sex all the time, (possibly in the strangest places you can think of because there's nobody around to tell you not to)...but you don't want the responsibility of children, or you want the species to die for good?
It's a personal matter, for both you and the other party...age is still a big part of it, in the sense of development (too young) or fertility (too old). But you complicate things when you bring the "last person" issue into question.
Morals in my opinion should be based as much on reason as emotion...whatever feels wrong or hurts someone (even you) is wrong, and feels right, and you have sound reasoning for why it's not wrong, isn't. I don't know that anything's really "right". many things are just "acceptable"

Those are just your friends, if they thought it was alright to give an 8 year old crack cocaine, would that make it ok?

Same deal. What if it was ok to spank children? doesn't mean you're going to be comfortable with it.

That's a matter of preference, I don't think it's a matter of balance, really. it's not like: "i must have 4 kisses and 8 hugs a day" and then: "oh no, too many hugs!!" I think in this case, you'd have to balance hugs, kisses and cuddling on the one hand with sex (intercourse, foreplay, etc) on the other for it to be a balance worth maintaining.
Then again, if you like hugs more than kisses, you're more likely to hug the person than kiss them whenever the urge strikes, so that when you do kiss them, it seems more intimate or special, which can make it equally as enjoyable. Maybe that's the way to call it into the balance.
