Not approve, but not condemn hysterically as we do now about almost all aspects of child sexuality. I am not in the game of giving people of any age guilt complexes, shame and serious mental problems which blight their lives till the end of their days. We know who the racist, bigoted troll is on this thread and rest assured it isn't me..
Because something is illegal and considered immoral and/or depraved now does not mean that it always shall be or should be. It does not and should not mean that we cannot or should not discuss that issue and whether or not the view of our society is right or wrong.. after all, where would the lgbt be now, and what would the rights of gay, bisexual and transpeople be had human beings always taken that view? We know the answer, because history tells us. Many of those who lived through the dark days of absolute illegality and/or societal disapproval remain alive, and because we can see it for ourselves still in operation in much of the world where the types of views and opinions and laws of both our countries recent past are to a greater or lesser extent still extant!
