- jowsie 6y agoDid you never have a sexual feeling before you reached the age of consent?
- nainarb 6y agoI did
- Duennepaper 6y agoI did, i hadn't had the feeling to mention this in this wording on a forum like this. Something like this goes very quickly in direction of pedophiles.
- devwastaken 6y agoWhat's wtf about it? It's biologically accurate. What they mean is you shouldn't tell a teen that sex is bad and evil and their instincts for sexual contact are not bad and evil.
- buisi 6y agoI agree with your points, but the wording in the post is very vague. If they mean teens, they should say teens directly, rather than using the word "children" which is easy to misunderstand.

- nanoscopic 6y agoI understand how this will seem to be a screwy thing to say, but it is a reality and is something any parent deals with when their child grows old enough. Once puberty hits children engage in some amount of sexual behavior, and that is natural. Many parents have to explain to their child not to masturbate in public for example. What I am saying here is that telling your child "masturbation is sinful" is unhealthy. It is also unhealthy to tell your child "masturbate any time you want!" It is sort of like eating dessert in my mind. Occasionally, with moderation, is acceptable. All the time, incessantly, is problematic. I am not, by the way, suggesting that adults become involved in the sexual activity of anyone underage. What I am saying is that parents should help their children ( by explaining things to them ) to be balanced and not fearful of their own sexuality. Life is difficult enough without being raised to be disgusted by your own feelings.
