I blurred out the names of the people for the sake of their privacy. I saw this thread while scrolling through the subreddit. I'm not sure how to feel about the orange person's comment in particular. It just feels... wrong...
Teenagers of the same age having sex is commonplace as low as 12 (more likely 14) where I live and it's never bothered me or any of the people I know who've done it as far as I'm aware
The big issue is teen pregancy and consent, so, ensuring access to condoms while all the religious people keep crying about it and touching them a word or two about the seriousness of consent
Consent about pictures as well
Teen pregancy is probably the reason why we don't want to normalize it, not the issues you would get from predatory relationships (developmental issues, warped views of sex, social integration issues, ptsd, ...)
Teen development is compatible with sex as long as it comes up normally
(The place is Tahiti)
yeah no sorry sex at 12 is pretty fucked up.
It's pretty rare even here
That's... still bad
You can just ask them about it a dozen years later to decide that!
I don't think I understand what you're saying
