Good morning folks...

this has now strayed into the area of human sexual response, what is ab/normal, paedophilia, etc. While it may be interesting to some (in the sense of academic interest) it's something guaranteed to get lots of people angry and upset. That usually leads to personal attacks and the locking of the thread.

I'd have to say that the Poser forum is not the place to discuss the ethical aspects of basic human sexual response, the ideal age of consent, society's sexualisation of children, or the demon media.

I'd also counsel everyone to remember that simply by the law of averages and statistics, AT LEAST one in 15 people here (a very conservative estimate) is likely to be a survivor of sexual abuse or assault as a child.

As many forum regulars here know, that statistic includes myself. As well-healed survivors, my ex and I worked for many years with other survivors as well as the police, probation service, and health services.

(The above info is just in case anyone feels like shouting "You don't know WTF you're on about!")

ANYWAY my point being, we're getting close to lock territory here. I'm not seeing any real advantage in keeping the thread open, so any more little flames getting started will mean I close the thread.

Karen
