"because that would never happen" You've got to be fucking kidding me.

I was VERY curious as a child and there were no limits until I learned about them. My first sexual experience, if you can call our voluntary "exploration" of our differences that, was at the age of 4 or 5 with girl a half year younger. Around the same age the boys on my block and I were comparing "dinkies". I got duped in grade 3 by a classmate, at 7 or 8 years old, though I won't go into details on that mutually voluntary event (I still don't know if it was an intentional lie or as naive as I was). The older I got the wiser I got so this idea that a child suddenly becomes sexual at a certain age is NONSENSE.

Marriage is different in different cultures. It's not always about love and voluntary interactions. In Africa people don't identify with Romeo & Juliet because those rotten kids disrespected their families and brought ruin - NOT romance.

Families and communities are far more important than the individual in much of the world - unlike the West, where we have cultural engineering in media to tell us to be feminists and shit to break up the strong ethnic communities and families. Whether it's a Polish community neighbourhood that is economically driven to the non-ethnic white suburban nightmare to weaken their unity, or whether it's a nation wide policy that Black women with kids cannot accept welfare if there's a man in the home. It's all designed to keep us weak. And it's all easy to temp the individual with unhealthy immediate gratification in their nightmare high-pressure low-wage world.

Your morals are of your culture. Whether it's about immoral child marriage or immorally accepting that a boss gets the profits and decides what to do with them rather than a worker cooperative. There are countless things we do that we accept as normal that are actually horrendous. Endless war is just fine. Baby fucking is bad - but baby killing and maiming for life is okay? Come on man.

Even if kids don't completely understand sexuality they understand sex organs and poopie doodoo. I agree that natural nudity doesn't demand the taboo stigma it gets - but it is related.

"_because it's not normal _" What is normal? Well, that's what's defined by your culture.

Maybe we should make all teen pregnancies get aborted? I don't think so, but there laws in the US, Canada, Australia, England, Europe, etc. about legal ages - ALL different and all, IMO, younger than they should be. Because their cultures accept them.

A pregnant 9 or 10 year old in India may not be common but it's tolerated if not embraced as "normal" and part of their culture.
