Humans should be both physically and mentally adult before being subjected to sex. It would be good to also be financially sound but is not really a prerequisite for having sex. Kids having sex with other kids is a separate topic. This thread is asking "Is it OK to have sex with kids? The answer is still absolutely NOT. NO NO NO! An adult who is mentally sound and/or not criminal would not be asking this question. Where is common sense???

The problem with sex with a child is more often than not, the child doesn't know the physical, societal, or mental dangers.

Physical: STD's, fissures, infections, ect..

Societal: shunning, being viewed as "scarred", ect.

Mental: letting these societal dangers get to you.

If it is proven that a child knows and understands these dangers, then let them do what they want.



Who is going to determine whether a child understands? Adults are to protect children not use them. This topic asks "Is it OK to have sex with a child", not about what a child understands. Please - Common Sense !

Kingkool,

The point is children are not emotionally or mentally mature enough to understand or handle sex. That is why there are laws to protect children from adults who think it is OK to molest or rape a child. The answer to the OP question is still an emphatic NO NO NO it is NOT OK to have sex with children. There is no argument that can make it right or OK.

You are generalizing what a child can and can't handle based on your own childhood, and what society portrays sex to be. It is not ok to rape anyone, wether of legal age or not, because rape is against their will. But if a child is raised to know about sex from a young age, learned of the dangers of sex, and that eventually, they go through puberty, then they should be able to decide if they want to have sex or not. It is all based on your views of sex.



You know nothing of my childhood. But your views make me wonder about your childhood. You are wrong and you should know better, that is if you are a mentally stable adult. Again, and for the last time I will answer this topic - it is NEVER OK for an adult to have sex with a child.

What if the child seduced the adult?


An adult has the responsibility to decline if a child is acting in a seductive way. It is ALWAYS the adult who is responsible.
