Notice that the title of this essayette is not "child porn" but rather "child sex."
The purpose for that is to consider and compare the pros and cons of not only children themselves having whatever "sex" is possible and/or desired and/or enjoyable with each other of their own peer group or age, but also who might (though extremely unlikely) themselves be the initiators of having whatever "sex" they improbably desire or might enjoy with adults -- and (much more commonly) consider and compare the pros and cons of adults aggressively seeking perhaps quite-one-sided desirable-only-to-them? and/or only-somewhat-for-both? sex of various types and severities with children.
It behooves you the reader and I the author to define what exactly is meant by "child."
Yours truly rather despises the title of "minor" applied to any child of any age, from infancy to twelve years old. The opposite of "minor" is of course - by default - "major" - and I feel that using either term (minor and major) for children and adults) is not only silly and somewhat laughable, but even ludicrous and ridiculous.
The reason for that is that it negatively puts children in a kind of subhuman status and relegated to inferior position of importance compared to adults, and I have not yet heard any adult who wants to be called a "major" in contrast to a "minor." Thus, "minor" is more or less a derogatory term which conveys a somewhat abusive attitude of despising young people whether they are infants, toddlers, or tweens.
Admittedly, the Bible relates the idea of subordinating children and and the superiority of adults in terms of adult authority over children, and not vice-versa:
Proverbs 13:24 He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
Proverbs 19:18 Discipline your son while there is hope; do not set your heart on his destruction. [ WHAT was that SECOND statement? ]
Proverbs 22:15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
Proverbs 23:13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you beat him [ reasonably? ]with a [ non-steel? ] rod, he will not die.
Proverbs 29:17 Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart.
Isaiah 3:12 My people: children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. Oh my people, your leaders mislead you, and confuse the course of your paths.
First Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
First Corinthians 14:20 Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; be babes in evil, but in thinking be mature. [ So much for the non-sophisticated not-yet-grown-up name: Playboy ]
Second Corinthian 12:14 Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for I seek not what is yours but you; for children ought not to lay up for their parents, but parents for their children. [ especially in the shambles of the Obamanation economy, with the huge National Debt the way it is ]
Colossians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in everything [ unless they tell you to stab the preacher, drink cyanide, or rob a bank ], for this pleases the Lord.
What parent would do that? You'd be surprised.
Luke 14:26 "If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple."
Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. [ but review the last two verses above ]
Ephesians 6:4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Hebrews 12:5 And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons? "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage when you are punished by Him."
Hebrews 12:7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
Hebrews 12:8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
Hebrews 12:9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers to discipline us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?
Strange and foreign it would be if Proverbs instead told children to discipline their fathers, and Ephesians instructed parents to obey their children, and Hebrews told fathers to endure discipline from their children. Bassackwards that would be!
But yet, children should neither be reviled as "minors" nor considered "under-aged' -- whatever the hell "under-aged" means and does not mean.
Here is the first glimpse of guidance we glean especially in the area of adults suggesting or even ordering children (by gentle offers of tantalizing treats or fun privileges or attractive favors . . . or instead threatening severe isolation or punishment for possible non-cooperation with intolerant orders and demands) to engage in various types of denudement with or without the follow-up or addition of certain types of erotic contact . . . fearfully submitted to because of the over-towering stature, physical strength, and horrifying authority of adults compared to much weaker and smaller children.
Before expounding upon that, we consider whether we can contemplate the possibility that children themselves desire certain types of "sex" with opposite gender of their own age, or close to their own ages.
The answer is, surprisingly, a definitive: yes!
This webpage author speaks from personal experience as he recollects the private tent experiences he enjoyed with the neighbor-girl toddlers back when he was a toddler (which, as he remembers, they did not find as titillating as he did, and their accommodating covert-and-I-guess-non-disclosed-to-others participation with him was thus only temporary), and he would further guess that most toddlers have engaged and will engage in various forms of "Show me yours and I will show you mine" besides giving and receiving certain kinds and degrees of actual physical exploration of usually-hidden bared body parts of their opposite-gender partners and playmates (like, for example, the bared buttocks - though perhaps not so much the frontal genitals which probably to them are not that interesting -- yet).
And that brings up another point concerning their general lack in sexual interest in genitals at that age.
A mature adult (from early teen on) who has experienced the sexual ripening of puberty and accompanying development of sexual body parts and functioning, has a well-developed appreciation of everything genital, whereas infants and toddlers and even tweens not yet age 12 simply do not understand why adults are so preoccupied with studying, handling, fingering, probing, licking, sucking, and manipulating genitals.
Such overt concentration on genitals by mature adults can is probably not simply confusing but even frightening. And if they have been told to take off all their clothes in the process of body-parts manipulation by adults, those children will likely have never-to-be-forgotten memories of being Naked and Afraid (without even being deposited by some contracted helicopter on some remote isolated island surrounded by lush vegetation).
It is as if children are dormant. Still hibernating. Not yet awakened, nor capable of being awakened until their time comes:
Song of Solomon 2:7 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the deer of the field, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.
Song of Solomon 3:5 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the deer of the field, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.
Song of Solomon 4:16 Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow upon my garden, let its fragrance be wafted abroad. Let my beloved come to his garden, and eat its choicest fruits.
Song of Solomon 6:2 My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
Song of Solomon 8:4 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.
Song of Solomon 8:8 We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister, on the day when she is spoken for?
Ezekiel 16:7 ...and grow up like a plant of the field.' And you grew up and became tall and arrived at full maidenhood; your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown; yet you were naked and bare.
Why sexually-developed (and not necessarily "mature") adults would seriously consider stripping children completely naked or convincing them to do the same themselves, then fondling various parts of their nudes bodies, and more, is because those adults deduce that somewhat-helpless(?) infants . . . or better yet, toddlers . . . or better yet, even tweens, can be more persuasively convinced to comply because of the overwhelming power and authority of adults, and thus also more successfully threatened into silence and non-disclosure forever after. Such is, of course, more often than not a non-realistic presumption, especially in view of the numerous more-or-less-believable media accounts of catholic priests and sex-slavery perverts more than allegedly manipulating such children for sexual purposes which non-murdered grown-up children have been brave and courageous enough to honestly testify to.
Pertaining to adults and what they might get out of completely denuding themselves and similarly-denuding children they would like to cozy up to, cuddle up with, and fondle various bared body parts of such children, there is of course limited enjoyment on the part of even adults who do that, because the typical sexually-oriented body parts of children at that age are not developed.
The legs (especially lower legs) of little girls have not yet developed the shapeliness typical of teen women, but are instead are sort of like straight-cylinder tree limbs, almost identical to boys of their age. Sexually-appealing hips have not yet widened. Chests are disappointingly flat and without even miniscule enticing-to-men protuberations typically called "breasts."
There is no sensuous crop of pubic hair. The vaginas of little girls are too small and too tight for enlarged adult-penis penetration. The small vagina does not get moist in preparation for genital insertion as it would with mature younger women. It is not as elastic as that of younger women, and will not expand sufficiently in contrast to the arousable vaginas of young-adult women. Thus it is subject to excessively-painful tearing, abrasion, bruising, and unusual bleeding - even if artificial or other lubricant is first applied before penile penetration.
And the whole process does not sexually arouse the child, but instead perplexes her, especially when she has been brought up assuming that people always wear clothes except for bathing and either urinating or defecation.
To them at that age, being completely disrobed is a senseless shameful, humiliating, and embarrassing thing which to them serves no useful nor practice purpose:
Jeremiah 6:15 "Were they ashamed when they committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed; they did not know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I punish them, they shall be overthrown," says the LORD.
Jeremiah 8:12 "Were they ashamed when they committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed; they did not know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among the fallen; when I punish them, they shall be overthrown," says the LORD.
Therefore, the child views genital insertion (or even the attempt to do it) as a weird, non-satisfying, boring, senseless, and even stupid thing to do.
Little boys wonder, at that early age, how such a flabby thing as their limpid penises could ever get stiff enough to stick it into some woman's frontal crevice (which rumored info they got from whoever, somewhere and somehow).
If adults in any way coerce toddlers or even tweens into advanced sexual contact, those kids understandably and rightly expect those adults who have done that type of intimate sexual contact to forever belong to them and take care of them as perpetual partners from then on:
Exodus 22:16 If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall give the marriage present for her, and make her his wife.
Exodus 22:17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money equivalent to the marriage present for virgins.
Exodus 22:18 You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
Exodus 22:19 Whoever lies with a beast shall be put to death.
Deuteronomy 22:28 If a man meets a virgin who is not engaged to be married, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found,
Deuteronomy 22:29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her; he may not put her away all his days.
Even if both the adult and the child find themselves alone on a deserted island, and both (without cellphone communication) have stayed with each other while searching the island for others, and have not found anyone else, and there honestly seems to be absolutely no hope whatsoever of being rescued by boat nor plane, and so they sleep together (maybe in the nude, at least eventually) to keep each other warm, the kid expects the adult to be her everlasting soul mate forever.
In stark contrast, young adults (from pubertized teens on) become quite interested in new capacities and pleasures relating to their genitals, particularly with curiosity in connection with those of the opposite gender:
First Corinthians 7:28 But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such people shall have trouble in the flesh, and I would spare you.
29 But this I say, brethren: the time is short. It should be that those who have wives should be as though they had none;
30 and those who cried, as though they did not cry; and those who rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those who buy, as though they possessed not;
31 and those who use this world, as not abusing it. For the fashion of this world passes away.
32 But I would have you be without cares. He that is unmarried cares for the things which belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
33 but he who is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
34 There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The non-married woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit; but she that is marries cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35 And this I speak for your own profit, not that I may throw a snare upon you, but for that which is appropriate, and so that you all may serve upon the Lord without distraction.
36 But if any man thinks that he behaves inappropriately toward his virgin, if she pass the bloom of youth (has at least reached puberty past toddlerhood and tweenhood) and need so require, let him do what he will, he sins not; let them marry.
It gets better, and goes way beyond the lonely and deprivational option of never-ending celibacy for either-gender teen:
First Timothy 5:14 So I would have younger women marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the enemy no cause to revile us.
First Timothy 5:15 For some have already strayed after Satan (and become fornicating swingers, call girls, escort-or-massage prostitutes, gotten pregnant out of wedlock, acquired VD, cheated on and abused by pimps, allowed themselves to be mangled and butchered with abortion homicide, etc.).
In summary, keep in mind the very first Prime Directive (not simply a prediction), a Divine mandate to heterosexually genitalize, made to all humans by the Creator Himself:
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."
Genesis 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons (daughters not mentioned?), and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth."
Genesis 9:7 "And you, be fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly on the earth and multiply in it."
The rainbow after The Flood was a colorful reminder to not homosexually sodomize nor masturbationally self-sodomize the human species into self-annihilating extinction, but to honorably and relentlessly actually and physically heterosexually and passionately fuhk (or genitalize) progenie into continued humankind existence (not simply talk about it as a meaningless spiteful expletive).
