Also, young teens are in general much less good at discerning intentions of their potential partners.


So are college freshmen and adults, particularly young adults. They make sexual mistakes and bad relationship decisions all the time precisely because of fear indoctrination and a lack of real education.



We sweet, loving pedophiles in GirlChat think of wonderful relationships. The world is in fact full of men (pedophile or not) with much sleazier intentions leading to more sordid realities. The law can't tell them apart, so it has a strong motivation to prohibit all.


Do you not think many of those sordid outcomes could be prevented if children were allowed the freedom to learn and talk about sex as soon as possible? Like they are in places like the Netherlands? Why would children keep abuse a secret if sex wasn't shrouded in so much social hysteria?



Here's what I suggest...in an enlightened society that healthily accepts and fosters child sexuality, adult-child sexual contact would only be allowed under specific conditions. That's how it would have to be and that would be the safest and best way to go about it. The age of consent without parental/guardian supervision would be 13. Anyone under that age would need parental/guardian consent before engaging in any sexual activity with an adult. The reason for this is obvious, because kids are less able to take care of themselves and are generally more susceptible to abuse. It is thus very important that the child's parents/guardians are directly involved to ensure that the experience is a good one. The legal process for this would be similar to the guidelines for any other activity or pursuit that children legally partake in with adults, such as a sport or a research study. With sex, the adult friend would have to be known to the child for a reasonable amount of time (at least a year), would have to be tested for STD's and would have to pass a test proving they are knowledgeable of the risks. This would involve a legal waiver just like with anything else. In this society adult-child sex occurring outside of this context wouldn't be legal per se, but it also wouldn't carry the stigma it currently does and wouldn't result in such harsh criminal proceedings as to avoid traumatizing the child (except in cases of clear coercion and assault.)



Children aren't initially fully informed of the physiological risks of surfing...cuts, infections, head injuries, surfer’s ear/exostosis, red eyes/pterygiums, skin cancer, and even death. Yet under the right circumstances they can participate with other children and/or a responsible adult. With the stigma removed, the only risks of adult-child sex in a communicative setting are physical pain, STI's, and pregnancy (if the younger party is able to become pregnant or get someone pregnant – and this isn’t a concern in a same-sex matchup.) We're looking at three risks that are very easily accounted for, and especially would be in an open atmosphere where the participants wouldn’t have to sneak around. An adult can supervise and guide a child through sex safely and answer questions about it via demonstration during it without risking anyone's life or harming the child one bit.
