I’ve noticed lately that I don’t get sexually harassed in public anywhere near as much anymore as I did when I was 13 (I’m 29). Still happens, just nowhere near as often. My body isn’t really much different at all, heck I even have some of the same clothes as I did back then. But you can tell I’m not 13, and back then…

I have a friend who is gay, and one drunken night he told me that the first time he had sex he was eight years old. I tried to listen to his story with out speaking, until he was through talking. So I confirmed that he was in fact eight years old, and I told him, that sounds like you were molested. His words to me…

Hey, you are righter than the others, but let’s dial it back. I think we are all generally in agreement here. I’m going to try an summarize, and people correct me if I have it wrong:

having sex at 13 with other 13 year olds is not age appropriate. kids are too young to understand the consequences of sex at that age. full stop.

Being calm over the suggestion that 13 year olds having sex is normal is not a badge of honor.

Now that I’m older, it’s absolutely terrifying, poor girl was abused and no one did anything about it. not her parents, teachers, other adults, hell even me and the other kids in our class.

Yes. YES. It’s normal to have sexual urges and feelings at thirteen. Puberty is starting. What’s NOT normal is being rushed into sexual actions, whether it’s with yourself, a fellow thirteen year old, or most especially an adult.

Men are afraid of being treated the same way they treat women.

Umm, I very much care if two 13 year olds are having sex with each other, and I imagine if you were a parent to a 13 year old, you would too. If 13 is too young to consent with an adult partner, how is it not too young to consult with another child? Another child uneducated on safe sex, pregnancy, sexually transmitted…

It’s not. But that’s the hypocrisy. Women are sexual objects pretty much up for grabs as soon as men say so. But boys? Not the same. 

Nobody really cares if two 13 year olds want to have sex with each other

I know 13 year old boys. They’re still kids. Their bodies are bigger but they’re still kids in their minds. I noticed he didn’t talk about girls just boys. Frankly way to play into that fear homophobes have about gays targeting their children.

The good old “ephebophilia” defense.

Hey, here’s a wild idea: no more state sanctioned murder.

This entire thread makes you sound very male, very judgmental, and borderline slut shaming. 

I’m sorry ScarJo (or whichever similar blonde scalded you) didn’t ask for your dick, but not really.

No, this cat is.

There isn’t a right person for everybody. But hearing that asinine message all the time will make someone keep marrying because she thinks she’s finally found Him.

yah scarlett it’s pretty difficult for me to have sex with one person too

also, the Beatles’ Run for Your Life “playfully” talks about partner violence
