Not defending anyone of them but there have been cases where someone was put on the registry for statutory rape and been married to the person they ‘raped’ for 20+ years. Yet they are now a sex offender when 20-30 years ago it was perfectly legal and was normal for thousands of years before that?
Part of this is just challenging the norm we have today but like I said I met that lady who married at 15, and if you do some basic research on ages of marriages it is a very recent thing to get wait until late 20’s and into 30’s to get married. Hell by early 30’s women are more likely to birth children with defects than early 20’s or even as late teens.
Just arguing from the biological and historical aspect here. My mom had me when when she was 36, and even back then in the 80’s it was known to women in their 30’s have a lot higher percentage of birth problems.
I think the key thing in situations like that regarding mental disorders is the question of are you ONLY attracted to 14/15/16 year old girls/boys. If you are attracted to ALL age groups from puberty on up (yeah maybe not 60+) I think it’s harder to say that someone has a “disorder”.
Is the normalization of pedophilia/pederasty already well underway?
I would contend emphatically YES given our current trajectory.
We have become a nation of sheep, SCOTUS has ruled that rape/sexual assault does not meet the criteria for capital punishment. As we circle the bowl here in Mamby Pamby Land it is only a matter of time before our view of pedophiles is manipulated to the point where there will be a progression of classifying them from criminals as they are currently to being mentally ill and lastly misunderstood disenfranchised victims themselves. They will then obtain the same protection/acceptance as other sexual degenerates do in our society. After all they’re “born that way” it’s only “natural” for them to “love” those children. Calling them perverts and child molesters will be construed as hate speech. They will receive a protected class of their own as other “victims” of society have. We will be told that this is a natural progression of our evolution and that they have always been with us.
Sensei started a thread on the subject, maybe mods can merge them?
I wasn’t disagreeing with you, just elaborating. Not sure what happened to my original reply but that is also why age of consent varies in this country.
Well yes but its a societal thing which Ive said like 3 times now.
The /boys thing doesn’t apply because what Ive said isn’t the same meaning. This isn’t Paterno covering for Sandusky. Im saying a 20 year old marrying a 16 year old. Should be illegal? Not? People who got married 30 years ago are now pedos? 5000 years of humanity is now illegal?
I’m well aware. I’m simply stating that disorders like pedophilia/hebephilia/ephebophilia are party diagnosed because the person is SOLEY attracted to people of that age group.

The /boys was to represent the female attraction to younger boys/men… Not man on boy.
To answer your question, I see nothing wrong with a 20 y/o marrying a 16 y/o. Just not the smartest thing to do.
A few years back progressives wouldn’t touch same sex marriage, but here it is at the foot of the supreme court. I also believe pedophilia will be arriving shortly, friggin society is NUTS!
The same goes for polyamory, but it is now creeping into prime time shows, following cut from Rush on Friday"
RUSH ARCHIVE: There is a movement in this country that you don’t hear much about called polyamory. Our caller Art said, “Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no. That’s where I draw the line.” You can’t have more than two people get married. Well, there’s a movement for that, and the proponents are being urged to shut up about it and just do it.
How can anyone not see this coming? Another “unintended consequence” of opening Pandora’s box. I’m particularly sensitive about this issue since I’ve got a 11 YO girl, and will rain hell fire upon anyone who even looks at her cross-eyed.
I have to disagree strongly here. I watched the episode. Neither family was all that great. The Loudons were pretty messed up. Her whole “there are dark forces at work here” comment was just the icing on the cake. And the Envys were a bit… Well lets just say I don’t go for the whole sit on my ass and be served upon way of life.
Neither family was all that great. But as for the Polyamory portion of it… So what? If that is the way they want to live then what is the problem. What is wrong with more than two people being in a loving relationship? Worried about the kids? Why. There are enough children out there who only have one parent. We should be thrilled that some actually have more than two.
I can’t believe I am about to do this…
Guess what guys. My wife and myself are Polyamorous.
I love my wife with all my heart. I live and breath for her. Without her I don’t know what I would do with my life. However we also have a girlfriend. Not a live in like in the story linked here but someone we date. Our GF is married and her Husband is just fine with us dating her.
My last serious relationship before my wife was with a married woman. Her husband became a good friend of mine and approved of the relationship. Their kids were almost like my own. And while we didn’t work out long term for other reasons it was not because of the dynamics of the relationship being poly. To this day we are all still friends and spend time together when we can.
Being Poly isn’t about whoring around. It isn’t about swinging. It is about loving someone. A parent with multiple children doesn’t just love one of them. By that same token it is possible to love more than one woman.
I am pretty sure I just ruined my rep on here. But honestly I don’t care. This is an issue that is as important to me as gun control.
WV has what is called ‘close-in-age exemptions’. In WV it is 4 years. Meaning, that a 14yo can consent to a relationship with an 18yo.
Of course, throughout most of human history, it was not uncommon for girls as young as 12 to be married to much older men. This situation is found throughout most of the Bible. I am sort of curious how Christians are able to pick and choose what parts of the Bible they agree with?
