>this is getting more into developmental psychology.
sex is an involuntary desire with deep ties to the individual's sense of
self. a raped woman with blame herself 90% of the time and will feel
like a used garbage bag, regardless of society's mores, or her
upbringing, or her social status, or whatever. it is hard-wired.
children introduced to sex too early in their cognitive development will
suffer psychological damage.
I don't know, maybe you are a
psychology major or psychiatrist or something, and I'm not trying to
offend you, but I'm shall we say skeptical of most psychological
theories and claims. One problem with your use of the word rape. Okay so
I accept that negative reactions to rape are hard-wired -- if only
because "negative reaction" is part of the definition of rape.
However,
this thread deals with the more general idea of sexuality. Notice how
you switch from rape to simply "introduced to sex too early" as if those
are obviously the same. This is where my skepticism is kicking in.
>other psychological... functions, i guess... like
being tolerant of others, or maintaining intellectual curiousity are
extremely useful skills for navigating society, yet still have to be
taught. but, you know what? birds have to be taught how to make nests.
or, rather, they have to learn through trial and error. a lot of animal
behavior is learned, just like a lot of human behavior.
Very
true.
>No, these things are not 100%
guaranteed to kill you, but they maybe 30% or 40%. they less than ideal,
and we should avoid them. when the consequences of a kid getting fucked
up for life, why take a chance?
Okay you've switched to a
utilitarian sense of morality, that's fine although I personally don't
believe in utilitarianism. I totally agree with your statement but it
makes no impact on the rightness or wrongness of the act and leaves open
many other acts that are not physically harmful. Especially acts that
children are not even be aware of. |
