The thing that damages children is adults who opportunistically take advantage of a child's trust or flirtations, getting involved with them sexually instead of setting boundaries. Sometimes when children approach adolescence and their hormones kick in, they become flirtatious. This is a natural phenomena and no big deal, unless an adult takes advantage of the situation.

When it happened to me, I was testing boundaries. I expected the adults to say, "You are a child and I am an adult. Some day you will grow up and find the love of your life and it will be appropriate for you to get involved with him. But it wouldn't be right for us to do that kind of thing because I am too old for you, and I am related to you. I am not the right person for you to be kissing like that!" This would have validated what I thought, and validation is what I was seeking.

But, much to my surprise, that is not what happened. Fortunately, none of the men I attempted to seduce took advantage of the situation and had sex with me. They all froze, went into shock, and said nothing. I could tell they were in shock because their pupils dilated in fear and my relationship with them was never the same. They were afraid to be near me alone. It was awkward from then on. Both of them let me know they were available, when I was over 18, but I was no longer interested. I feel sure they were relieved. But it still seems strange to me that I was the one who had to set the boundaries, since they were the elders.

We need to establish a cultural taboo against adults having sex with children because it damages their bodies and minds. People should be required to take a test in order to get a marriage license. It is ridiculous that we are so emotionally retarded in this regard. I predict that when society grows up sexually, the suppressed advanced technologies will become available to us, too.

Sex is a natural phenomena. That is no big deal. Done with love, intimacy, mutual intention, expertise and wisdom, it holds the key to the kingdom of heaven. People should be explaining this to their children. Children need to be told that they could be damaged both physically and emotionally, by having sex before they are mature. Adults need to be teaching them this instead of taking advantage of them and saying "You want this, you know you do!"

I actually think exposure to tasteful educational erotic material would be very good for teenagers, as a preparation for adult hood, if they are also taught the importance of waiting until their bodies are mature enough to comfortably incorporate all the changes, both emotionally and physically, that are cause by initial intercourse and child birth.

The reason adults want to ban children from seeing anything sexua| or being exposed to anything sexual, is because THEY don't feel comfortable talking about it. This is the shame and scourge on our society. Being raised on a farm, it is completely different. You see the animals copulating. You see them get fat. You see your Daddy spend 8 hours pulling a calf out of a cow that would die in labor is he didn't help her give birth. You seem his arms in her vagina up to his shoulders. You see him covered with blood. You see him cut the balls off sheep to keep them from fighting and killing each other. You understand all this.

Now people have their pets spayed and neutered and the children never get to learn about the natural process of procreation anywhere. Before you can learn about sacred sex and holy union, you have to understand procreation. We are becoming more animalistic, because we are not learning anything about sex from the animals, and using our creative capacity to transcend and do something greater.

Censorship sucks, but while we are at it how about War Porn?
Maybe we can outlaw the showing of all that stuff including the massive White Sex Slavery which everyone is ignoring.

Then we can all sit back and continue 'make believe' and fly flags and stuff..

Iceland is reputed to be one of the most sexually free places there are. They are certainly not anti-sexuality, they are against pornography, which is a very ugly thing, especially these days with it's strong misogynistic intent.

Pornography is not erotica, not in the least.

Iceland ROCKS.
