Upon the topic of pedophilia, I saw on some news station just like 2 days ago that a book regarding pedophilia was banned from being sold electronically for kindles or something. I think the purpose of the book was like a way in which to be a pedophile in our society without it being a problem, but having not read the book I have no idea how far that went, like if it discussed actual sex practices with kids or not. It showed a 2 second blurb with the author, and he was a pitiable man who seemed to really fall in love with kids.
I think we can compare pedophilia with homosexuality on some level in that I bet many closet gays who've been raised that homosexuality is wrong probably feel like their sexual urges are as wrong as if they were pedophiles. I also think that a discussion about whether pedophilia is wrong is much more interesting than if homosexuality is wrong :-p Consent seems to be the issue at hand, but what is it about, say, a 10 year old who may even have started getting her period already and who has sexual urges, not able to consent to sex? There's obviously an age at which there's no understanding about what's going on, but what about older children? If it were regular practice for sex to happen with kids if they consented (or at least said they consented), would it still be emotionally scarring? I swear I've heard somewhere of some african cultures or whatever where kids mimic sex with each other, just like any other mimicry kids do. Outwardly I don't think anyone found anything traumatic to these kids.
