Was the 3 year old breastfed ? I can remember masturbating at the age of 5 and reaching climax. I did this on a regular basis all through my childhood....even though I was not able to have an erection or ejaculate until about 14 or 15. I had sexual thoughts during my early childhood. But I was in no way ready to engage in a sexual relationship with an adult. I do believe that sex is ok for 15 and above. Heck...some 15 year olds are more mature than some 30+ year olds. But a child is another matter altogether.
Perhaps....but I just can't understand that concept. Babies are cute. I have had several of my own....I understand how very cute they are. But equating lust to that type of cuteness just does not work in my mind. I cannot see it. I believe that anyone who lusts after a that type of cuteness is warped. Something is not working right in the mind of that individual.
I have to say I was the same way at 5 years old(sexual thoughts and all). I guess it depends on the person. But I still agree with some to saying that YES a 10 yr old is a child. But age doesn't always equal how mature a person is.
This is all too common... The girl will lie about her age and end up getting you in some serious shit. Kids like that are the reason I can't just cut loose at concerts anymore and start shit with random chicks. You wouldn't think its such a big deal at 17 but it is. My buddy almost went all the way with a 13 year old cause she didn't tell him her real age. Her friend ended up telling us in the next room and we busted in there "Come on, we'll explain in the car." I mean we laugh about it now but its some serious shit. He was 18 too, he woulda been fucked as all hell... Those girls looked 16 too man... Its crazy all you gotta look out for nowadays.
I agree. But I strongly believe that we should allow a child to be a child. They have plenty of time to become adults....with all the crap, stress and pressure that comes with it. You have 11-14 years to be a child. You have the rest of your life to be an adult. The main reason that people say that if they could do it all over again...they would...is because they would like to go back and relive their past with the mind that they have now. I was very awkward with women when I was in high school. It was a mental thing more than a physical thing. I was an attractive, smart guy who was played varsity ball. But I struck out with the woman because of my lack of experience and knowledge. If I went back to school with the mind that I had now.....It would be a completely different story. In another thread I remember a lady saying that the most important/attractive thing to a woman is a man's self assuredness. Trust me, as you get older your self assuredness and confidence in who you are will grow. There is a reason that teenagers tend to follow the trend. Most teenagers worry about what other people think. To the point that it suffocates them. I had a big problem with this in my youth. It was a freeing experience when I reached the point of not caring what others thought about me. Don't get me wrong...I'm sure there are some teenagers that do not worry about what others think....but they are the few...not the majority. For those of you who are teenagers and who suffer from this......take comfort from knowing that it is a temporary thing.
Ok all this disputing on when a child reaches the age of understanding and reason/ration... Perhaps we should have an open ended quiz to administer to these kids by pychological professionals who speciallize in the adollecent mind, to see if they are capable of making those kind of decisions on thier own. OR we could lower the legal age to 16 and a lot of these pedophile cases go away and we're left with the real sickos going after the young young kids.
I would vote lower it to 16....but I would also vote that only minors could have sex with minors. You have to draw a line somewhere....and I have a problem with a 60 year old having sex with a 16 year old.
i think that the age thing should stay at 18 ...cuz if someone really loved a minor that much they should be able to wait
You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately sex and love are not always entwined. I believe that it would be best that sex should only happen within the confines of a marriage between a man and a woman. This would greatly reduce the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, would all but remove AIDS and would all but remove the birth and/or abortion of unwanted children. But...unfortunately this is not realistic as we live in a fallen world.
It really would work and all. And even though it's not realistic maybe in the future it could be possible? But then again not at the rate some things are going...
Just remember that it is possible for you. You cannot control what the rest of the world does....but you can control your own situation. You can also control the example that you set for your children...as well as the environment that they are raised in. Love is the most important thing, not sex. Love without Sex is still a wonderful thought. Sex without love grows old, tired and lonely pretty quickly.
Dark...I actually had the same thought about a quiz or test earlier today. But the problem is that the answers would get out to the general public and a lot of the kids would be cheating so that they could get thier sexual rights cards.
< It's different for boys & girls? That's so wack.. especially 'cause girls develop quicker mentally than boys.. Here in the Netherlands it's 16 years.. but people here don't really bother about the whole statutory rape thing.. it's more an age difference thing than about 'minor-adult'..
I think I like the Irish's idea better. Girls have more of a burden to bear since they are the ones who's bodies are most impacted by an unforseen pregnancy.
So the boy are allowed to fuck around and the girl have to be 'protected' from guys who get them pregnant? .... Am I the only one who thinks this is completely wrong?
