If you really want to stop/reduce sexual abuse of minors, here's an idea. Legalize sex for those minors that WANT to have sex. And there are plenty of them despite what you may think. I have had many boys in their early teens try to seduce me. I had one who stood in front of me stark naked and begged me to touch him. He then got very upset and threw a strop when I refused. Abuse can cause negative emotions - but so can rejection. If society would permit the consensual relationships, then there would be far fewer men seeking to coerce/pressure boys who are less willing. Why break the law when there is a legal alternative. And there is plenty of evidence out there to show that consensual relationships can be of huge benefit to the young partner as well as enjoyable for them. BLs often make the best mentors. So if you want to do some REAL research, don't start with the assumption that these relationships are all bad. Muppet |
