It's a whole different worldview.
And the point of being a grown up is not to think with your ‘small head’. The parental role is to help youngster turn into grown ups. while teen boys ( emphasis on boy) may need some direction in how best to relieve their hormonal conditions, it is also necessary that they be taught that is not the be all and end all of any life.
I missed nothing in the commentors post. I merely ask that we behave in a manner that is not animalistic and purely driven by those senses
Amen!
Sorry, but there's nothing "sacred" about young males having their childhood stolen. See www.nomorestolenchildhoods.org
Made me LOL. :)
Yuck!
50% or more of all sex in this country is against the law, and the “conservatives” here applaud every arrest by the kind protector State!
Brutal!
No, I do not think humans are merely animals but animals we are. As such, we are made in a way that allows and encourages procreation, or survival of the species. That is why I referenced Darwin.
The desire for orgasm is probably the strongest physical desire we have, often stronger than hunger, thirst or even the fear of death. That is why I referenced Sigmund Freud although there are many other doctors and psychiatrists who will validate the strength of the desire for orgasm.
I am not saying we should be hedonistic and abandon all moral values. In this particular case the article says the young man initiated the contact that led to the behavior after having already done the same with another female teacher. I think that greatly mitigates the idea of any harm done or the exercise of undue influence by the "person in power."
Yeah and an adult twice the age of the tenn in question showed just an incredible amount of restraint.
Sex is the strongest urge —— so what? That does not mean that one goes out and ‘relieves’ the need just because they have an urge. Hey I want a new home -— think I’ll take yours.
It seems she's still got a bit of bounty left... ;-P
The women should be punished for their crimes but I can remember when I was 15 and I can’t help but think this boy was one lucky SOB.
