    That’s… Genuinely complicated.

    Kids aren’t asexual, and then BOOM they’re sexual the second they hit 18. I was very interested in sex from an age that would make most people deeply uncomfortable to think about. Romeo and Juliet laws exist because we recognize that first, kids are going to be sexual, and second, it’s not always going to be with peers that are exactly their own age, and that prosecuting minors for statutory rape–since neither party could legally consent–is a little crazy.

    So there needs to be some kind of line between recognizing that kids are sexual, and adults not treating them in a sexual way.

      It’s not complicated you’re just a pedophile. And I think you would have found that person doing the sexualizing was well past their 30s.

        Wow, what a completely unhinged reply to what was simply stating the obvious.

        The person you replied to didn’t see the scenario you imagined in your head. They replied to the words you wrote.
