A controversial topic, adult sex with children

A few points

1) Children are not supposed to be in control of the adults in their life. They are children. Adults are meant to protect them and keep them safe, and sometimes that involves being in control of the child. It never involves the child being in control of the adult.

2) Yes, children can be sexually curious. That doesn't mean they are emotionally mature enough to be sexually active or even understand what sex means.

3) Parents having sex in front of their children is not only mentally harmful for the child, its child neglect. Plain and simple. What if that child needs their parent's attention while they're going at it? Its the same as parents getting so drunk that they can't pay proper attention to their child. Both situations involve losing one's senses in the moment and putting their own desires above their responsibility to the child.

4) What about the adult in this hypothesized situation? Even if we could suspend disbelief and imagine that a child could not only understand his sexuality but be in complete control of it, its still abnormal behavior for an adult to be sexually attracted to a child. Children are innocent. Children are not sexual objects and adults that are able to view children as sexual objects are lacking something mentally.

5) Sex is not a game. Its easy to think of sex as a game in a time period where birth control is so readily available, but its sole purpose is to procreate. Somewhere along the way humans were lucky enough to evolve and experience pleasure as nifty side effect of sex, and then we were smart enough to create birth control so that sex could only be used for that nifty side effect, but sex still creates entirely new human beings. Sex is a huge deal. It doesn't have to be shameful or disgraceful, children or at least adolescents should be taught that its natural and beautiful, but its still a big deal. Its not a playground game. Its not the same as playing Red Rover or Simon Says with your child.

 

Wow, thanks for pointing that out. Part of me is still wanting to debate you, but now there is a part of me seriously considering that I have a huge flaw in my thinking.

This makes me just want to punch you in the face...
