What's Up With Age Restriction?
|
|
Someone help me make seonse of this. Why does society put in place artificial age restrictions of when a person can have sex or pose nude? Where is the logic behind it?
These age restrictions cause young girls to get a thrill from "doing something wrong" and using sex to either get guys to do things for them (making the girls manipulative bitches) or to replace the attention they don't get from daddy (which turns them into shallow emotional wrecks when they don't get the non-sexual attention they were trying to get by using sex). Without all this baggage then sex is just sex, a way to feel good with another person and nothing more.
We should be teaching young people about what sex really is, and not putting on these artificial social stigmas that accomplish nothing. There is only one social restriction that should ever be put on sex or nudity... consent.

Thanks Jimmybobbit for the excelent point you made. It is an extreme example, but it brings up a big problem. My personal preference has always been to not be involved with anyone that hasn't gone through puberty yet (putting them at least 12). Plus most kids don't really get interested enough in sex to try it until they are 14 or so.
Purhaps that suggests that a practical (i.e. based on real life and not social stigmas or Bible-thimpers) age of consent would be 14, and without the stautory BS that a lot of states have. With that in place then all that is left is what I said above about parents actually teaching their kids about sex.

dont just blame society... its mostly right-wing conservative BIBLE-thumpers who dictate what "decency" is.

Well, informed consent would be more appropriate. Otherwise you will get some pervert taking advantage of an innocent child that knows no better.
I'm sure a five year old would say yes to something in return for a lollipop, whether they know what they are saying yes to is another thing.
It's an extreme example, but the laws are there to protect the innocent and vulnerable, it's just society has moved on, and generally at the age the law is set, the innocence is already lost..
