Childhood Sexuality

The Brazillian thread has got me thinking about sex again - but of course in a twisted contemplative fashion...

So, our culture seems to have real issues with childhood sexuality. I believe this is another area where Kinsey came under fire since he actually interviewed children in his sex surveys. Child pornography and pedophilia are seen as inexcusable absolutes.

Yet, in my own personal experience - I recall engaging in childhood sexplay as early as age 7 (i.e. playing doctor, naked movie star, lots of nakedness, maybe some fondling, but not much else) so treating children as non-sexual people doesn't seem to hit the mark for me.

Take that, and our current culture celebrates and eroticises youth, so that we now find women who've removed the very signs of their "coming of age" (AKA pubic hair) through brazillians as somehow more sexy. Then add the usual porn of magazines like "Barely Legal" pictorials of school girls, and pre-adulthood is made even sexier.

Throw into the mix parents contributing to the sexualization of children with Build-a-whore (AKA club Libby Lu),and children's beauty pagents.

I put all this stuff together and have to ask, what messages are we really sending with this? By setting up these taboos of childhood sex, have we just created the desire to break them, or at least flirt with them? Do we really want to do our children - or this all being pretend makes it all okay? Is it any wonder there's a market for kiddie porn?

I find this schizoid nature of our culture very intriguing.
