Pedophilia; I can't accept it.

[max-greece]

So puberty is the signpost you want to use?

In that case if the 13 year old girl has not yet gone through puberty we can agree that she is not ready for sex - whatever she says?

Just out of interest how do you feel about an adult supplying a 13 year old girl with Cocaine? The enjoyment aspects are similar.

Now we are both replying too fast and our replies are overlapping:

"As in, why can't someone who's more experienced/mature engage in a healthy relationship of someone who's not as experienced/mature "

Here is part of the cross communications. You are talking about healthy relationships and I am talking about the ability to spot unhealthy ones. No-one is perfect at this but experience is a great tool in assisting someone identify risks and dangers. This is the real concern for the 13 year old.

"I don't care about the legalities. They're irrelevant. It's not like what I'm arguing, if accepted as true, would be reason to change those very legalities or anything, either; no, definitely not. What is the fascination with "if it's legal, it's right"? That's not an argument."

And its not my argument. As a parent I am responsible legally. Therefore, what I, as the legally responsible parent wants is not irrelevant. It only becomes irrelevant when I am no longer legally responsible. Oh - and it is worth remembering that the adult who is having a relationship with the child is breaking the law in most western countries and so the law is going to be very relevant. If this is something you wanted to pursue doing so without the law changing would be risky. I am sure you know how "kiddy-fiddlers" are treated in prison.
