Why condemn paedophilia? Has the Bangkok Post started a puritanical-based moral crusade against the very common sexual habits of our community, be it by adults or children? The many prominent writings about paedophiles, parents and other people molesting and abusing children, seem to point that way.Moral crusaders have been with society for as long as society has existed. Every now and then we're exposed to the protuberant projections of the moral standards of do-gooders, lesbian liberals and religious fanatics. Besides having to endure these groups, we have to endure the often self-appointed psychological and physiological experts who like to categorise human behaviour when they should know better. No two humans are alike physically or mentally, which is the first thing they learn when they take up studies of human behaviour.What makes subjects like pornography, paedophilia and sexual behaviour in general so noteworthy all of a sudden? Civilisation, culture and religious beliefs have shaped not only our views but also our habits, customs, practice, fashion, mode, morals and manners of sexual conduct. The rules and laws of what is permitted, what can be toleratedand what is unwanted and should be suppressed has changedthroughout history with cycles of over-indulgence and widetolerance alternating with sanctimonious and often dogmaticrepressive inhibition of sexual customs. It has all been there for millennia and has been very well recorded throughout history, dating back from ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian times to the Greco-Roman era.

Paedophilia and sexual practice between adults, children andhomosexuals in ancient Greek and Roman times were quitenormal and so was it in certain periods of the Chinese, Moguland Ottoman dynasties - all of which have provided us with oftenvery accurate descriptions of the sex life they were leading.Artefacts in stone and pictures bearing witness to the time'ssexual indulgence or its repression can be found practicallyeverywhere.

So what is new this time? Paedophiles and homosexuals havealways been there. The moralists and do-gooders among ustaking the moral high ground thunder from their pulpits, quotingscriptures and using the media against the present sexualbehaviour in general, seeing evil when there is none. They areunable to tolerate happiness if it is not of their own kind. What is all this talk about child abusers, paedophiles and sexwith children? According to reliable research and records, ourchildren indulge in a variety of sex from the age of eight to fullsexual activity at the tender age of 12-13.

Who are they doing it with? Well, it often starts with theirbrothers and sisters in their own homes and goes on at full swingwhen they have a crush on a classmate and they start petting inearnest. With the desire aroused, they want to experience whatthey by then know is a pleasure and they do it quite often andeven regularly.

The myth that our children are innocent until they reach the ageof consent is just wishful thinking. Ninety-nine-point-nine percentof our girls and boys lose their virginity not to paedophiles but totheir own age group, which should be and is for usnormal-thinking parents a quite healthy and acceptable standard.The age when girls lose their virginity in the West ranges between12 and 18. The majority have lost it before they reach 18.

Who do they lose it to? It is to their own age group. A boy aged12 starting petting with a girl of 10 will usually not "deflower" her,but if their relationship lasts a few more years, by the time he is15 he will have done so.

Girls in our present time are looked down upon by their own agegroup if they are still virgins by the time they are 16. Girls in theWest are quite openly proud that they have had full sex at anearly age and so are the boys they're having it with.

This has become a moral dilemma for our anti-sex front. Whatshould they do about, what is in their eyes, very immoralbehaviour? It is breaking the law having sex with children under17, isn't it? So the naughty young boys should be punished, putinto jail for their forbidden sexual pleasures and indulgences. Thelaw is the law, isn't it?

So why punish an older man or woman having sex with children?Is the law selective? Either punish all or none. Our schools wouldbe empty if we started prosecuting our young male offenders.And why single out males for punishment when the female is amore than willing partner? At least 50 percent of all cases offorbidden sexual indulgence start with the seducing performanceof young girls. So where is the justice for them?

The case of girls or boys being abused sexually at home by theirparents or close relatives is a problem of poverty. In Australia,where everyone has a house with three bedrooms and childrensleep separate from their parents, and where girls and boys havetheir own rooms, sexual abuse of children is very rare.

The paedophile problem, if there really is one, is at present tooexaggerated to be believable and, in any case, among 56 millionpeople you have to expect a variety of sexual desires andbehaviours. This is quite normal.

There has been no reliable mental damage recorded in mostsexual relationships between adults and children. Except forrape, the children involved in adult sex have usually consentedand in most cases even found it pleasant and looked for anextending relationship. It is often both the pecuniary reward andthe sexual pleasure which makes them seek adult sex.

To brand paedophile sex as wicked and unnatural is just somuch nonsense. Sex in any form, from the missionary position tooral sex and all the many other deviations, is an absolutelynormal praxis if done voluntarily by two or more consentingpersons. The pleasure of sex is doing no harm to anybody. Thestate and the law should keep out of its citizens' bedrooms.

On the other hand, forced sex is rape and deserves strongpunishment, and females must have the full protection of the law.Paedophile sex is not rape and the protection of children at acertain age (the number of years is debatable) should not singleout adults for punishment when we turn a blind eye to the sexualactivities of children within their own age group.

Consensual sex between children and between children andadults is normal, just as homosexuality is normal. I know this isnot widely accepted and I expect people to condemn it, butsociety will have to put up with it because it just will always bethere.

The do-gooders, the all-too-eager protection organisationsshould learn to understand what sex is, what it does and the factthat it give us humans more enjoyment and happiness than anyother human activity, including religion. So leave it alone, thereare more festering problems like poverty, education, health,children's work, to name only a few, which desperately needyour attention much more then society's sexual behaviour. If sexbrings pleasure to humans there is no damage either mentally orphysically.

Psychological problems start when children are exposed to thewild interrogating methods of do-gooders who spread fear intothe hearts of children who are unable to understand that theirpleasure, which does no harm to anyone, must be punished. Children should be educated early and told of sex's pleasures,and also the risks involved. The forbidden fruit is alwayssweetest and the natural temptations are many.
