Hi Razor,
You have very well illustrated the on going battle between nature and human kind. It is apparent that the legacy of the victorian age, which is the surpression of children's natural sex drive and the repression and prohibitive tactics used to control (e.g. eliminate)it are but a battle in the war against nature that has been waged since that time.
The shame of it all is that the children grow up and perpetuate this same kind of unnatural hatred of their normal bodily functions upon their own children. Those who remember Kinsey's studies at all put them on the back burner of their minds while they spend the first 18 years of their child's life trying to de-sexualize her in order to keep her from using what Mother nature has given. Then they don't understand why so many of them are unable to enjoy a quality sex life as adults. Why so many divorces? Why so much inablity to maintain a relationship? Why so many people in prison for sexual offenses? It's because when you fight Mother Nature, there is ALWAYS a heavy price to be paid.
I think that this perpetuation of "good children don't do sexual things" is no better than the perpetuation, generation after generation, of female circumcision (a misnomer for sure!) or forced marriages in some parts of the world that involve the virtual selling of girl children to anyone who can pay the dowry. These wars against nature are doomed to fail in the end. But who knows how near the end is. Until then, children and those who love them the most will continue to pay the price of the victorian onslaught against what nature has decreed. Human law must be subservient to natural law, not the other way around.
