What? That's fucked up.
Is that the "official definition"? Or is that your spin on it? What I'm wondering now is, how do proponents of grooming define grooming?
I feel like what you said is your interpretation of it. What are the facts of it? What makes it an adult training of teen sexual behavior?
I watch enough true crime and have a degree in Criminal Justice. That's what grooming is when you are talking about adults and children in this context.
It's a whole other thing than grooming your dogs. That, I do, and it's legal and moral.
reference - Child grooming refers to an act of deliberately establishing an emotional connection with a child to prepare the child for child abuse. Child grooming is undertaken usually to carry out sexual abuse and other child exploitation like trafficking of children, child prostitution or the production of child pornography.
