*Many of such kids feel conflicted and have difficulties when trying to establish an age-appropriate relationship.*
The Giver-dystopian novel. Teenage boy confessed he had ‘feelings’ for a girl. He didn’t take his pills that fought it off. A preteen old is going to be horny before he turns 18. Legality aside you won’t stop him from trying to fish in troubled waters.
Several of the posters on this thread seem to be protesting too much. Perhaps they were sex abuse victims themselves and are trying to cope with their inner turmoil by spewing bravado instead of seeking counseling.
How cool is it, really, when a boy is seduced and statutorially raped by a grown woman who has power over their life at school, toys with their sense of guilt or shame, and will lie to their parents and the authorities about them, blaming the child for the adult’s own crime?
How many of those who insist that child sex is cool are themselves in intact marriages, living in the same house as their wife and their biological children?
