to be honest...i have no clue
i have kids...3 boys...i think a 7 year old lad will only have what one might call a need to urinate ..er..firmness...whew
anyhow...i think it would be difficult
molestation and feeling up that sort of thing would be more likely than rape
i doubt any boy under mid puberty can technically rape
when i was a boy in the 60s...i knew of an 11 year old who had sex...
girls...i don’t know...i knew some who were having intercourse at 13...that is about the earliest i ever could verify
but some of those girls once they got started and liked it or enjoyed the attraction power it gave them...howver warped...cut quite a path..like...they shoulda locked em up in a convent maybe
i feel for their parents looking back
i was a late bloomer till an older married woman forced herself on me...despite my protestations..lol..bless her heart../s
it’s a strange world..i look back and wince sometimes
but today we mommy the stew out of kids...those who do actually parent yet our culture hypersexulaizes them
it’s a paradox
It is a paradox and thanks for your input.
I have been having trouble visualizing a child of the 70’s/80’s who could envision rape at 6/7 years old and corner his sister for years without the parents being aware.
Today I would hesitate more to think that envisioning rape or even sex was out of the question because hormones could be enhanced from modern diet. Schools are required to teach young children about sex and especially in one parent homes I would think the mother would have trouble paying attention to everything. Especially the TV with sex everywhere.
When I was 12 I slept in a truck cabin with my male cousin, my aunt and uncle and I was sure for a year afterwards that I was pregnant because I had slept with a man. I was afraid to confess my sin even! No one told me it could be otherwise. That’s how you got pregnant!
Our culture is so different now from then that it is almost incomprehensible.
