None of them were positive, and several of these people had major problems in their later life as a result of that. It is a strong indication that disrupting the natural sexual development of a young child leads to bad results. To be clear - by disrupting I mean having sexual encounters with the young child, like sex or oral sex. many children feel uncomfortable with it, but don't have the knowledge and skilsl yet to articulate why it feels wrong, and don't have the skill to say no and enforce that.
And as so few good things seem to come from adults having sex with young children, the society will react with hostility to such things.
But, do you know any bad effect that children suffer if they have sex with other children of their age? or it is to them the same as "playing" (you know, trusting each other, etc.)

Granted, she was 18 and I was 14, so not a massive difference, but it wasn't too bad at all, and I would have loved to shack up with my Shakespeare teacher. I have a sincere belief that it would have been educational in the best ways.
at the age of 14-15 one starts to feel sexual attraction. So perhaps that was why it wasn't felt "bad" or "odd" or something.

People don't kill others because it isn't worth it to them already... having a law stating that you cannot is redundant and useless. It is a kindness to inform the weak of what you might do should they do something that you do not like... it is an idiocy to believe that because you might do something in response they will not do it.
Actually Sae, if there was no law by harshly punishing murder, things would have been much different. I myself have some people in mind that I'd kill at first sight if I didn't fear spending lots of years in a dirty jail (which also means, losing a lot of years of my life) while having my future stained with this (i.e. employers not employing me because they have the info about me).

I believe otherwise... but I'll take your example for sake of argument.
Quote:The will of the dead is irrelevant. Reason that "wills" exist currently: rich people wanting to get richer when other people die.Actually I guess the dead body belongs to his livings relatives. So raping the dead body harms the feelings of the family. And the only way sex with the dead body should be allowed is if all his relatives agree with it. But anyway, why would one struggle so much for a corpse, when there are a lot of living bodies around? Perhaps that's why nobody struggles to allow "sex with dead bodies" after all.
Quote:And sex is easier than relationships...Yeah, but so it is running from responsibilities!
And I guess 'love' (the feeling of true devotion, respect, caring, etc.) between a guy and a girl, if it can exist, should not be thrown away as waste. And for some reason it appears to me that excessive sex has a detrimental effect against true "love" (i.e. the true feeling of love, with all the respect, caring, devotion, faithfulness, forgiveness, etc. it means), and therefore against a long-lasting, serious relationship. People who are living in excessive sex seem rather to be superficial (superficiality, by definition, does not allow the developing of very deep feelings) and to confound "love" with "attraction" - things which may not allow them to live a desired relationship.
