toxic environments

"M = A + L + S" etc.

I do agree that a decrease in L (loving relationships) does not necessarily imply an increase in A (abusive relationships), and agree that there is almost certainly not a one for one substitution - but there has always been a substantial number of cases where minors initiate the relationship, and are desperate to initiate some form of relationship. In the absence of the availability of loving relationships, these minors will likely end up in abusive relationships - whether with legal adults or with other minors.

What is more, the secrecy and shame that overshadows all such relationships, whether loving or abusive, will decrease the joyfulness and fullness of the loving relationships, increase the potential for harm in abusive relationships, and possibly tip some relationships over from the loving to abusive category.

Besides this, those children whose normal development is delayed face a considerable chance that they will never fully develop into mature and independent adults.

In short, the current anti-sexual attitudes in the Anglosphere not only facilitates abuse but is abusive in and of itself.
