Exploring at a young age?

I think it's idiocy that it's looked down on. The human brain is made to want people who are sexually mature. That happens when we reach puberty but then they say you can't have sex with anyone above a certain age. Society believes that's wrong, but why?

Not only that, but now they're letting 12 year olds choose to completely alter their bodies with surgery and chemicals, because they're "trans-gender".

  • I agree with you. I understand that some laws are in place to protect those that cannot protect themselves. But I agree that sexual maturity is different for everyone. I have often talked to girls that want me to teach them how to enjoy sex. Or girls that have had sex and the boy made them think sex was awful. I’ve never met these girl because I would make sure that they understand the full gravity of the situation. If I felt she understood and was consenting I would be more than happy to teach even if she was underage.
    Recently someone said something to me, they said that age was just number, but followed it up with but only if they’re over 18.
    I once talked to a woman teaching her sex about this subject. She was completely against a girl of 14 having sex with an older person. But I asked her she had any crushes at 14. All the people she named were much older. She then realized that it’s not uncommon for teens to be attracted to older people and that maybe she should reconsider her position.
    I love talking about this subject and would like to hear your perspectives but I hate the backlash from closed minded people. Can we talk privately? Please PM me.

  • Well I definitely think there should be age limits for older people with very young teenagers. In my country that age is 15. What is the proper age is hard to say but as an adult you have power over young people and that power can be taken advantage of and that's what we want to avoid. Otherwise I don't have any problem with young people exploring sex as long as it's practiced safely which should be very much promoted in schools and to teach both boys and girls about consent and such.

  • There are quite a few differences in opinion on this.
    Yes, we are all sexual beings!
    But there needs to be some sort of protection from certain people.
    Same time, we all have feelings of arousal and desire , and they begin at different times

    • Also, I believe that people are not ready to make decisions about altering body at a young age

  • Growing up in a open and nudist house was excellent. At home I was openly allowed to be naked and masterbate from day one. It was also open that me and me best friend regularly masterbated together and each other. Sometimes they walked past my open bedroom door others they came to tell us something like dinner. I think it made me a better person to grow up without any shame or guilt and educationally it was better than any sex ed class! I was not encourage rather natural instinct was allowed to flourish when I was naturally ready for it. It started off sward fighting with our boners to touching and stroking. Then masterbation and oral. Anal play was not till 12 and started by just rubbing a finger around it to inserting a finger. It was six months later we tried actually penis insertion. I remember mom asking if we were using lube. She ended up buying lube and condoms. The condoms were more learning than about protection. This was decades ago long before the crazy laws made today to "protect the innocent child" LOL No one taught us we did not see a porno or magazine it was pure fun and exploration that was being allowed as if playing with toys. If I had kids girl or boy I would encourage the same from them. If we all did that imagine how much healthier societies views would be!

  • Yeah, letting kids alter their own bodies at that age is just wrong.

  • True but they are going through this with the help of parents. Have you talked to your parents about having sex?

  • At what age should you be able to explore sexually?

    • I think as soon as you're curious

    • Well that would be at age 12 for me when i hit puberty.

    • 11 for me

  • I'm not sure anyone is allowed to at the age of 12. Where does this currently happen?

  • I agree. We had a great conversation about this the other day. On a simple biological and developmental level it makes no sense

  • Legally I can't even answer your question.

  • I hear you and understand, but society and culture dictate morals and laws

  • Because it increases the risk of grooming. Age of consent is in place for a damn good reason.

    • You can’t compare trans kids altering their body to children having sex with adults. Trans kids have to go through weeks of therapy before they’re even considered to be given the go ahead with whatever process. Not to mention a lot of the surgery’s they require also have an age limit of 18.

    • ^I totally agree. It’s difficult for even trans adults to get approved for hormone therapy or surgeries.

    • Yep! I don’t think people realise it’s a simple procedure.
