Hey, guys? Keep in mind that pedophilia and statutory rape are not the same thing. The sex laws concerning teenagers are completely different than the sex laws concerning children for obvious reasons. Please look up the laws in your state/province/country for more information, as the exact details tend to vary.
Keep in mind, pedophilia is a 40-year-old molesting a 6-year-old, but a 40-yar-old molesting a 16-year-old is statutory rape. Anyhow, there remain plenty of laws (which differ by state/country) where people under 18 may sill have sex, but only with people who are within their age range. Example:

I’m saying your question is irrelevant. It doesn’t matter at what developmental stage a child can reach orgasm; just because a 6-month-old baby can reach orgasm does not mean you should molest a baby or that the baby will enjoy being molested just because you made it climax. :/ And as Moogles said, you could have just Googled it.That didn't really answer my question. I honestly thought having an orgasm and enjoying sex were the same thing. I wouldn't know.

I know the point's already been made, but as one more example, a psychopath is also born with psychopathic tendencies. If they go on a killing spree, do we say “it’s okay because he was just born that way”? We cannot excuse something just because it’s “natural.”Which in essence, proves that they are simply being theirselfs and are acting in accordance to how they were born, thus acting naturally no matter how "UN-natural" this may seem.
That won’t happen because that’s not what bestiality is. Bestiality isn’t just a fixation with animals – it’s a fixation with having sex with animals.Though i believe that with bestiality, as to appose pedophilia, that someone could perhaps gain a natural love towards all things and further such matters in a physical way?
I don’t think you understand what “consent” is. You’ll never know if an animal wants to have sex with you or not because animals don’t understand mating with humans and could never actually say “I do/I do not want you to have sex with me.” There is seriously no way to justify having sex with any animal.Though i find it hard to believe that some goat may have wanted to have sex with some human, though the point with this is that if "said" animal wanted to have sex with a human though unnatural it would seem is their anything wrong with this is the human in the matter had no problem with it.
Sex laws concerning teenagers are completely different than those concerning children. While not as mature as adults, teenagers are still more mature and capable of understanding than children. Plus teenagers actually have sex drives, while most children do not, so different laws need to be made to protect them that take their habits into consideration. I'll elaborate below.Of course there are some cases which involve teenagers instead of children, but even here it's still problematic because it's well known that teenagers often lack the inability to properlly think things througb, unlike adults.
This may rock your world, but sex is still plenty enjoyable without reaching orgasm. That’s why millions of people enjoy foreplay, some will purposefully delay orgasm, and women will sometimes say “you didn’t get me off, but I still had a good time.” Sex isn’t just about climaxing as quickly and efficiently as possible; it’s about providing mutual pleasure between partners, bringing people together and taking relationships to new levels of intimacy, trust and gratification.That is true, however, without the ability to have an orgasm, sex is little more than putting random body parts in holes, and that in itself is something very few people would enjoy. That's why it's so frowned upon.
You don’t need to be a fully-developed adult to have developed your sexuality or have sexual desires. That said, some people’s sexualities can continue to evolve far into life as an individual explores and finds out what they like. Teenagers are just as capable of this, however not all teenagers are properly educated (thank abstinence-only sex ed for that) and as you said, not all teenagers are capable of making the right decisions, whether or not they’re educated.However, pedophilia in the other sense of one or more partners being physically capable of having sex (read, having an orgasm) but being unable to give consent due to being a child legally is a more interesting case, since now we have to analyze what is defined as an adult....If one's mind is as impulsive as they claim it is as a young adult, should that mean that people at that age cannot truly give consent? Society needs to rethink what it defines to be an adult, because it seems to be all over the place in this day and age. I can't say for sure if allowing 16 year olds to have sex is right or wrong, but I can say it's no more wrong than allowing 18 year olds to have sex.
Keep in mind, pedophilia is a 40-year-old molesting a 6-year-old, but a 40-yar-old molesting a 16-year-old is statutory rape. Anyhow, there remain plenty of laws (which differ by state/country) where people under 18 may sill have sex, but only with people who are within their age range. Example:
Department of Justice said:In Canada, the Criminal Code provides "close in age" or "peer group" exceptions. For example, a 14 or 15 year old can consent to sexual activity with a partner as long as the partner is less than five years older and there is no relationship of trust, authority or dependency or any other exploitation of the young person.
… There is also a "close-in-age" exception for 12 and 13 year olds: a 12 or 13 year old can consent to sexual activity with another young person who is less than two years older and with whom there is no relationship of trust, authority or dependency or other exploitation of the young person.
And it’s not pedophilia if the person in question is not a child. :/ Entirely different laws apply to teenagers, as I explained above.As OP highlighted the child molestation effects, it has negative effects. However, if the "child" is nearing an adult age (like above poster said) it shouldn't, well, be called pedophilia.
You should look up the laws in your state, as this is generally 100% legal because there isn’t a large age gap. Even if there was, it would be statutory rape, not pedophilia.I'm not in favour of pedophilia, of course not, but if they are 17 and they both know what they want and such, it wouldn't be a horribly bad thing in that sense (well, this applies to American Law though).
Are you seriously saying that legalizing gay marriage is going to lead to legalizing pedophilic marriage, while simultaneously understating the importance of the women’s’ suffrage movement? Do we seriously need to have this elementary school-level discussion?Now to the question on whether one legal victory could open the door for others... I still say it is possible. If blacks didn't win the right to vote women may not have had the opportunity either.
Except that that isn’t even close to being pedophilia. It’s absolutely legal in most places (and it’s closest to statutory rape if anything).They're not interchangeable, in the eyes of the law, pedophilia can also be when a someone physically capable but not legally allowed to has sex. For instance if an 18 year old has sex with a 16 year old. And that's a whole different ball game. So no, that can't possibly be correct.
