Quote:9 year olds *do* have sex... but it's usually with someone accessible, who they are 'close' with. Often this is something like their 'best friend', a pet, a sibling/cousin about the same age, a teacher, an aunt/uncle or close family friend, and more rarely, a parent. Seriously, if they want it, and their guardians deem it as 'safe': they should certainly be allowed to go for it (other party willing, of course).
No they shouldn't be allowed to have sex with a cousin because of interbreeding issues, teachers for so many moral reasons that a teacher is in a position of authority and is abusing their power, same with auntie and uncle for both previous reasons, or a pet because that's animal abuse.
Even if their parents think this is fine then their parents shouldn't be allowed to have children.
At a later age people are more likely to have formed their personality fully, I don't know of anyone who was as wise or as mature at 9 years old as they are now.
Put it into context when I was 9 i was intimidated by teenagers.
Now think about a 9 year old girl, is she going to be intimidated by adults?
What about an adult who is married to her and tells her to shut up and not tell anyone after he abuses her?
So why put them in a position to be married to an adult when as you have pointed out this puts them in a position which is likely to result in abuse?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
