Re: 5-year olds? I am speecheless!!
by coolrepublica

happyatheist:

By age 5, I was fondling myself for pleasure while thinking about Paul McCartney (I remember trying to be discreet because my parent(s) would check on us periodically after we went to bed), at age 7, as noted elsewhere, I was pulling down my pants and displaying my goods for the local boys to gawk at and touch (for the price of 25c per person), by age 10, I was experimenting with penetration with my girlfriends after school (digital and/or household objects), at age 11, my older brother asked me if I would have sex with him (I declined because I simply didn't like him very much at that time)

But, while I think sex between children of commensurate cognitve levels is perfectly good and healthy, I don't think that sex between people of vastly different cognitive and emotional levels is good or healthy. Too much opportunity for predation (since we humans are naturally predatory and opportunistic) by people who have an advantage over people who are much less mature.

What can be said after reading something like this. I am sure hundreds of people read your post but after reading it most people was so horrified they quickly left the site.

You think that sex between children is OK. I would ask if you think 3, 4, 5 year olds attempting to have intercourse with each other is OK? But I know the answer so please don't bother responding to it.

If it was not "morally objectionable", as SusanM as referred to me for my question about the author, I would ask how many years you have been in therapy? But I am not going to ask that question so please don't bother answering it. I am sure that you are a very, very, happyperson. But If I heard that story from someone I knew and loved, I would have begged them to seek help. But I would hate to be "morally objectionable" and probably would not say anything.

Good luck in life!! Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!
