A child can't consent to whatever they want. That's why children have parents.
I love EoEO threads in General Chat because I can spam lightly.
And if the child can't consent, then it's rape. I never said rape was cool.
Crystal.
Thanks. I'll be sure to return the hospitality.
It is relevant to knowledge, but disclosing it in the discussion is pointless. If you can't make an assertion and argue it without saying, "I know more than you" then either your point is weak, or you're being too pre-emptive.What you have studies is relevant to the discussion--if you're making claims you should know something about the subject, shouldn't you?
But going by your reason for a moment, if a psychologist asserted that homosexuality is a mental illness, should I not feel entitled to disagree simply because I've never studied psychology?
Source? I want to verify the last statement particularly.The time at which the human body is best able to produce an offspring. A woman's body is most able to support an offspring after it has fully developed (late teens, at the earliest), and at this point the most desirable genetic material is available. After a woman's reproductive peak birth defects increase either due to damage to her remaining eggs, or just that the more desirable eggs were released before the less desirable ones.
I don't mean sexual peak; I mean reproductive peak. A woman's sexual peak is in her mid-thirties. The function of hormones in the teenage years is to facilitate physical development.
Aside from verifying this, I want to add some food for thought: the technical age of a person doesn't quite matter, so much as the traits reflected in their physical appearance. If a young woman looks healthy, then this tells the onlooker that she is healthy and likely a good candidate for reproduction. This then translates into attraction. Since there is generally no difference in appearance between a 16 and 18-year old female, there can be quite a gap of attraction right after puberty.
Either pay more attention to what you're saying, or be more clear.

I didn't say I know more than you, or that you have to have formally studied the topic to know anything. I said I know what I know, and I know what you're saying goes against everything I've studied.I sold back most of my text books. At this point it's not some fact I look up; it's something I know because I've studied it. It's like asking me to give you a source on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Not saying you shouldn't ask; just saying I don't have a ready source.
And, since a main point of this thread is what's "civilized," we should recognize that a girl looking healthy and supple does not mean we should want to bone her. The human brain doesn't even fully develop until the early 20's, and the last part to develop is the one concerning logic and predicting consequences.
Therefore, the most do-able chicks are those in their early 20's. If a male consistantly wants to have sex with women younger than that they do not have some kind of biological excuse, and so are defunct.
I'm with rubah on this one.
>>> Well, Im just talking about sexual deviation, and that does not involve rape (i hope im clear enough). Raistlin already explained: "rape is an action, not a sexual orientation."
Its not my fault that everyone here is posting the word rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape!! all friggin time.. I just had to quote those posts with the word "rape" to make my reply..
tl;dr too serious for gen chat.
Pedophilia is sick and disturbing.
