sounds like the Victorian Govwernment who want to feed the kids porn and then try and teach some sort of morally. What a sick society our wonderful regressives have created.

Yuyutsu,

If you are saying that it is adults who sexualise children's behaviour you are right. There is the seemingly endless and obsessive focus of the feminists below the navel and there is their war against men and boys.

So yes, there are moral panics where a girl's virtue is concerned. Her virtue, her body, is always 'AT RISK'(sic), society having been trained to look for any sign of the expected wickedness and depravity towards girls from the males in her vicinity. Boys in Pre-School are being challenged for trying to dominate and use girls for their own gratification. The 'mothers of girls' do possess remarkably sensitive antennae for that sort of thing and the media and others who should know better join in for the moral panic (or did they encourage it in the first place?).

Teachers and those of us who are parents and have done voluntary work at schools and with sporting and other groups might have other stories to tell. For example, of the girls whose skirts shrink between home and school. Or girls who get together to wear a French style beret seen on some music clip and try to be provocative (it is only experimenting), but the boys don't seem to notice (thank goodness).

But belay all of that. Our duty as adults is usually better expressed through ignoring what WE might construe as sexual behaviour of pre-adolescents and adolescents and to allow youth to primp, pose and experiment in safety and largely unnoticed, with no fuss that confuses and complicates simple matters.

Parents know their children well enough to know what is stuff to be ignored as a growing stage and when to step in with advice and boundaries. It is their role. Parents can get advice where needed and many do.

The OP should not be presuming to take over the role and responsibilities of the parents. He is out of his depth anyhow.

......ridiculous premise, self satisfying, hedonistic......weirdo........

Dear OnTheBeach,

You are correct in saying that it is adults who sexualise children's behaviour, but this was not what I've written about so I suspect that you could have missed the point I made.

My point is that due to this fear of child-sex, even more damage has been made than child-sex itself. The PC witch-hunt and overwhelming fear of being accused with the 'P'-word deprives both children and adults of healthy non-sexual contact which is important for the psychological welfare of both.

Kurtis, this is an incredibly dangerous topic as you are perhaps finding out. I think your niece trusts you and that is why she is revealing to you.

However you need to run to the nearest hills or else I feel that this is going to end very badly for you.

Despite the obvious signs, and the warnings from two of the wiser heads on the forum, a couple of forum regulars took great delight at the flattering request for "advice", they quickly jumped in with their amateurish fatherly opinions to a unknown newbi the "22 year old Uncle Kurtis" who appears to be rather suspect as to what motivated his original post. Good one fella's!
