>>1518827>I would also ask whether pedophilia is a disease, but current scientific consensus seems to say that it's just a sexual orientation.Depends on how you define disease, is it something that hurts your body in any way, or endangers you for no benefit? If you feel sexual attraction exclusively to prepubescent children you're a genetic dead-end, just like homosexuals. Is being a genetic dead-end a disease? If we're talking about the larger picture, about society, you could say its a societal disease, since it hurts, well, society (lower fertility).
Anyhoo, if it shows signs of fertility its fair game as far as biology is concerned. Whether or not someone that young will be a decent parent is a related, but different problem. Also worth discussing though.
Example 1: Adult woman fucks a 12yo boy, would he be a decent father? Maybe? By the time his children would be 8 he'd be 20. The bigger problem is if he can take the lead when his woman could be his mother (age-wise). He could see her like a mother figure, something which absolutely shouldn't happen. It could make for a dysfunctional family (though to be fair, lots of adult men can also be losers that can't take the lead in a family)
Example 2: Adult man fucks a 12yo girl, would she make for an alright mother? How much it matters also depends on what kind of father he'd be.
Example 3: 2 twelve year olds fuck. I think it's safe to say neither of them would be fit to be parents.
afaik many countries already have laws that approach different situations like these, well, differently.
