Plain and simple.
But why? Simply because it disgusts us? I just know how he will respond to that.
That is reason enough for a powerful taboo,and enough for me.
The next reason is the child is objectified and is essentially raped,not being old enough to give informed consent.
The purely pragmatic reasons is that sex with pre pubescent children has no survival value. IE there can be no offspring.
Adult- adolescent sex is another matter entirely. Rules vary between cultures and are absent in some .In most societies (including ours) the traditional age of consent has been menarche.
PS studies show that most paedophiles are not homosexual.As is common,your Christian apologist friend is an ignoramus.
