Age of consent in Massachusetts?

What are the details on the age of consent in Massachusetts. I always see 16/18 listed. Does this mean 16 for females, 18 for males, 16 for having sex with someone close in age, and 18 for older people, or 16 with parental consent and 18 without it. I have heard each and am having trouble finding a straight answer.
