17788539 No.17788539 [Reply] [Original]

Early on in History of Sexuality, Foucault describes an incident between an adult male farm worker and a prepubescent girl named Jouy, wherein Jouy plays a game of "curdled milk" with the farmhand, aka, she jerks him off to completion. Foucault then remarks that she was probably not negatively affected by this, and probably enjoyed or gained from the experience, and that the response to it by her village (punishing the farmhand) is an example of western sexual neurosis.

He's right in the sense that not all experiences of that sort are traumatizing and often times "victims" don't think of themselves as victims at all until other people push that identity onto them.

Sex between adults and children should still be illegal tho. The utilitarian consequences of the opposite would be too much.

because regardless of the biological facts surrounding fertility, there is a huge gap between an adult's psychological development and a young teenager's, and this creates such a chasm that abuse is pretty much inevitable.
Beyond that, children aren't just "individuals," they are the children of parents who care about their well-being. An adult beginning a sexual relationship with a teenager is taking them out of their developmental course and into something that their hormone-addled brains are not equipped to emotionally handle, and it has a high probability of lowering their prospects.
All in all, the potential consequences for the children have such a high probability toward the negative, that its immoral to allow it.

On one hand he is probably correct. The public overreaction to the event itself may contribute more to the child's trauma than the act itself. To speak from personal experience, I got diddled with as a (very young) kid, didn't realize at all what the fuck was happening until later on, and when I did, since I knew my dad would bury the guy in the yard and didn't want shit to happen and anyways, I wasn;'t traumatized, I decided not to speak to anyone about it.
On the other hand, this is a specific event, that happened in a specific way, and I have no way to know if that fucker didn't escalate his predations afterwards. Other kids get diddled with and get buried afterwards. Some are fucked in the head forever because of it. Saying "in this case the trauma would only come from the public condemnation" can only be true afterwards, when you have all facts. A prohibition preventing these things to happens isn't a bad thing, because it also stop worst things to happen, and because if you are a rational adult you should manage to control your sexual urges enough so that you can find an appropriate way to satisfy them.

I disagree that this was his point though. I read the passage, I'm struggling to find it in full online for free; but, I remember that Foucault does make the point you're making, which is that society is so eager to "save" children's innocence that it exaggerates incidents like this, which is probably true; but he then goes on to further claim that adult-to-prepubescent sexual relationships really just aren't a big deal or something that should be persecuted.

If that is the natural development of their body how are they being taken out of their natural development? Wouldn't chastity at an age of peak hormonal influence be the aberration and not vice versa? Why are they unable to emotionally handle it? What is so strange and abnormal about sex (the most normal thing on the planet) that it shatters the mind?
What consequences? Most of these assertions are made with the idea in mind that they are incontrovertible truth and read as religious rhetoric.

The relationship isn't that simple, children can be wily and manipulative as hell, but sexuality isn't something they've integrated in their thought process, so they don't account it at all in their calculations. As such, an adult, often practically less "cunning" than a child, will easily manipulate the child because he values things that doesn't exist for the child, and knows what the child values.

If adult does something sexual to a kid (and its not physically harmful) its literally just physical objects interacting, since the kid does not understand the significance of it, so it cant be traumatic. The meaning comes from outside of the situation. And the predominant meaning was created and pushed for by feminists, where the act is automatically seen as bad and the child is victimized in all cases. Ergo trauma is symbolic construct and not inherent property of the hand touching pussay or whatever. Dunno how blind are people to this fact.

I think its to try and say that modern sexual values are arbitrary in the sense that you can have a sexuality before you're 18. In my country you're legally allowed to have sex when youre 15, one of my friends were 13 when he had sex the first time (with another 13 year old). So I can see Foucault's point, but the thing is when these sexual encounters become between adults and children that it becomes problematic as these adults do not consider children their equal, it is much more like the child is an object of desire that the adult manipulates. This is like in adults, only I don't think a child is mentally capable enough, to counteract or manipulate back in a sophisticated way. Also there is a large physical aspect being ignored, that is the adult can physically overcome the child which plays into their interaction as well, it is much more threatening to disagree with a large man twice or thrice your own size, than some child your own age. So yeah, Foucault was a product of his time when the idea of children developing their sexual identity on their own was new and fascinating, but it led to some hasted conclusions and theories that took it a step too far. His criticism of modern sexual morals isn't without merit though.

I'd say the age of consent should match up with brain maturization cycles. Somewhere between 16-21
Not every parent knows what is best for every child; but there is no way that the State knows what is best for EVERY child, and the probability that an adult who is looking upon the child with sexually hungry eyes has better intentions for them than their parents is nil.
The traumatic consequences of sexual abuse, especially when this occurs in the sexually undeveloped, is extremely well-documented. I would recommend opening your eyes.
A sexual relationship is a chemically complex phenomenon. The chemicals involved impair judgement. A child with little experience in this state of mind, is a ripe target for an abusive, older person with more experience.
Basically, everything you wrote is retarded to anyone with
>common sense
>basic psychological knowledge
>genuine love for children
So, even though it can all be argued against rationally (as above), just know that it doesn't really matter how you *theoretically* feel about it; practically, if you try to throw out these "skeptical questions" out to 90% of the public, especially those with children; they will beat your ass and threaten your life rather than take the fucking risk.

Is he wrong? Where is the evidence that incidents like this are harmful? The Ben Shapiro crew always wants to pass off this shit off as some sort of modern lefty degeneracy, completely ignoring the fact that pederasty is a noble tradition that literally predates humanity. If it was really that toxic, how did it (or we) manage to stick around for so long?

This is as silly as the people running around screeching "but you can't just go out in the sun for 10 minutes and let its DEADLY RADIOACTIVE RAYS touch you like that! You have to rub these modern chemicals into your skin that have never actually been tested with any amount of scientific rigor or you'll DIE of CANCER!" Really? Are you fucking serious? We evolved on this planet over the course of hundreds of thousands of years and somehow aren't prepared to face the sun that rises every single day?

I'm not saying that everyone should just start spending all day directly out in the sun, the same way that I'm not saying everyone should go out and fuck the nearest child. What I'm saying is that all of the hysterics about solar radiation and pedophilia are unfounded, and actively harmful as the results are spooky vampire people who wear SPF10,000 indoors, and 15 year olds sent to prison for "distributing child pornography" after sending a dick pic to a classmate.

Foucault is not a bad intellectual per se. Out of all the deconstructionist trash, I like him the most, because I see him as the last politically animated.
This pedophile apologia shit disgusts me, but all of his books including History of Sexuality, are full of insight. He seemed to have no goal beyond inquiry and I can always respect that.
The problem with these purist thinkers, though, is they often dwell into uncanny valley on subjects in the interest of thought-experimentation, comfortable in the knowledge that they won't ever act on these things.
But, they do write about them...and then the more impressionable act upon them.
Its something I see often. High IQ people can handle uncanny valley, but the public cannot.

there are textual evidences in Greek literature that pederasty was not universally accepted in private, even if it was enforced as social practice; because Greece was a rigid patriarchy where landed classes of men and skilled craftsmen were granted a lion's share of the autonomy and rights. Pederast boys were often apprentices who got molested as part of their craftsmanship tutelage or were basically preyed upon by aristocrats.
But even still: ancient historical texts are largely written by the privileged classes in those societies, rarely if ever do you hear the unconstrained voices of the slaves or the oppressed. To assume that this silence was indicative of them enjoying it, is retarded and arrogant.

A prepubescent girl may desire and even 'enjoy' the act in the moment but her innocence will be prematurely interrupted, causing trauma in the process. The little girl does not understand this, but the adult man does, hence his responsibility.

Once again, the evidence right now, at this moment, is that these types of relationships are more likely to be rated as beneficial than as causing lasting harm, *by the "victims" themselves*. And that's despite confounding the results by conflating willing relationships and violent rape.

One thing I want to make very clear here is that exactly *no one* here is advocating for rape. All we're saying is that the criteria for throwing someone in prison forever should be changed from a child saying "he touched me," to a child saying "he touched me and I didn't like it."

Nobody would ever believe this; on the contrary, as all men will blame the cowardice [836e] of the man who always yields to pleasures and is never able to hold out against them, will they not likewise reproach that man who plays the woman's part with the resemblance he bears to his model? Is there any man, then, who will ordain by law a practice like that? Not one, I should say, if he has a notion of what true law is. What then do we declare to be the truth about this matter? It is necessary to discern the real nature of friendship [837a] and desire and love (so-called), if we are to determine them rightly; for what causes the utmost confusion and obscurity is the fact that this single term embraces these two things, and also a third kind compounded of them both.

They're similar, and both pretty okay. Clancy spends a lot of time reiterating that she condemns pedophilia and thinks we should make it even more illegal, but we should stop creating victims out of people who don't really feel affected by it. Levine is a little more sympathetic to the concept of healthy adult/minor relationships, without endorsing them. I think both books do a pretty good job of addressing the topic fairly, though Clancy tends to come off to people as being disingenuous, since her opinions (gas all pedos) don't really match up with the logical conclusion of her research (maybe pedophilia isn't really something we should sensationalize and freak out about).

No, it absolutely is. When I think of deconstruction I think of Derrida and Paul de Man, maybe Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak at the margin. That's it. People who think Foucault advocated for or employed deconstruction (and it's arguable that it can be employed) tend to fall into one camp: people who haven't read any Derrida and vanishingly little Foucault. They also tend to be readers of Stephen Hicks and maybe Jordan Peterson, two writers who've been shown to not know very little about their philosophical subjects.

how is this *not* a form of control? the adult male who knows more leverages his situatedness to convince a child its ok to have sex with him. he constructs the rules and ideas that validate what they're doing. the problem is that its a one way street; the adult man is always the authority, the writer of the rules, and as such, the child cannot really participate equally. he is getting what he wants out of the relationship while the child is helpless to know any better if its what they want, and that is what is traumatic.

Perhaps you should reread them at length, with a secondary text this time to improve your comprehension.

Whatever theoretical links exist between Derrida and Foucault, they occur upstream in history. Links do exist—let's be clear—but that's a far cry from saying Foucault is working within Derrida's theoretical apparatus, which you've claimed, and which he's not.

I'm more nuanced when in srs mode than I'm being in this thread, if she's just making the case that not literally every adult-to-child sex act under the sun results in what we typically call "trauma," then I can buy that without even reading the book. I already believe that that's probably the case, and I could see how, neurochemically, it'd be possible.
But, if she's arguing that these traumatic cases simply don't exist at all, or are not truly traumatic, then she'd best produce an airtight case because I already don't buy that.

In OP’s quote, Foucault questions the very idea that there is something inherently wrong with pedophilia; he is, as it is, “deconstructing” the old structure: the Western understanding that there is a metaphysical Moral Law, and we are subjected to it.
Why is he doing this? Because he is implying that because the prepubescent girl felt good and had fun, no evil was done. This implication only makes sense with the tacit denial of the existence of an objective, metaphysical standard of goodness. If there is no objective right and wrong, then the only measure is subjective (aka feels good or bad), and any attempt to punish people for doing what feels good to them is just collective neurosis.
He is just defending himself for being a faggot, don’t you see? It’s so obvious.

That’s just not true. The trauma exists whether the child is aware of it or not, often manifesting in obvious ways years after the fact.

These aren't even the same thing, which your forward slash implies. Never mind that you've consistently gotten the term wrong: it's deconstruction, no -ist, no -ism. Anyway, Post-structuralism is a moving beyond structuralism, a response to it. Deconstruction is a contending with structuralism. Deconstruction doesn't move past structuralism so much as constantly engages with it. You'd know this if you'd read (and understood) even the barest hint of the primary or secondary texts.

So yes, your claim would be very controversial in the academy. Admittedly, I can envision a version of your argument with some interesting merits (though, with which, I think, most scholars would ultimately disagree), but you've thus far failed to deliver such a version. You haven't really substantiated your claims at all.

Let's say there's a 30 yo male and a 10 yo girl, two people who were born and grew up together in an island. Would you expect the guy to try to have sex with the girl? Yes, because his instincts would tell him that this female looks attractive enough to mate. Would he be wrong, if he feels that the desire to have sex is an indication of what ''good'' is, even if he would be ruinning the girl's innocence?

social constructs are legitimate entities. they're legitimate concepts. they can have good reasons for being constructed and enforced. zero social constructions is anarchy. Its not profound to point out that most social institutions are socially constructed. It only seems profound to people who then want to use this truism as a weapon for saying that all our current institutions are bad, so that they can replace them with institutions more amenable to them. Most of our institutions are safeguards against criminals, predators, etc. What type of person would then want to oppose, "deconstruct" and replace them? ;)
This is not rocket science lol. Its just the enemies of society trying to create a society based on their socially-antagonistic views, enshrined as social constructions.
If you applied deconstructionist logic to all the remedial proposals suggested by deconstructionists; it would all still apply, because its a truism, and not a criticism, to say that something is socially constructed.
So you wind up in a position where the issue isn't a lapse in logic, or a lack of theoretical coherence, or anything academic; its just that these people are a bunch of freaks who don't see anything wrong with it, and we disagree, so we have to assert ourselves against them and that's it.

Sex between adults and youths is common among animals, particularly primates.

No, but we can change what we teach in schools.
We used to teach a lot of nonsense, academics analyzed it, changed the curriculum and culture and society shifts. We can do the same with stuff like this, create a more nuanced view on things than just "everyone who has sex before 18 is a fucking psychopath", and the whole pedo scare that is being used as a crutch for many neo Christian values and nutter stuff like Qanon and pizza gate. Is harming children bad? Yes. Has the discussion on what harms children been blown out of proportion? Yes. I think we can combat this by education, not that everyone becomes an academic, but what we teach in schools have a big effect on society. I realize you can't avoid dogma completely, but you can train the ability to critically think, and change what is taught at schools so it is less dogmatic like "sex bad!" and instead "sex is complicated and has many facets, let's discuss and explore them".

Engaging with structuralism for a post-structuralist would be pointing out how the structures are artificial and not representative of the the realities they purport to represent. Engaging with structuralism for a post-structuralist would be pointing out that structuralist narratives are grand narratives, which exclude or misrepresent the vast majority of lived experiences. Engaging with structuralism for post-structuralists would not not be engaging in the creation of new structures. Has it happened? Possibly.

>then lets use Plato's words and talk about eros
"In general, Plato did not consider physical attraction to be a necessary part of eros. According to Plato, eros could be diverted to philosophy (inclusive of mathematical, ethical and ascetical training), rather that dissipated in sexuality, for the purpose of using erotic energy as a vehicle for the transformation of consciousness, and union with the Divine.[17] In Symposium, eros is described as a universal force that moves all things towards peace, perfection and divinity.[18] Eros himself is a "daimon", namely a creature between divinity and mortality.[19]" -Wikipedia

"The de-eroticization of the world, a companion to its disenchantment … seems to result from a combination of causes—our democratic regime and its tendencies toward leveling and self-protection, a reductionist-materialist science that inevitably interprets eros as sex, and the atmosphere generated by the death of God and of the subordinate god, Eros." -Allan Bloom

"As Aristotle expresses it, pleasure is the natural accompaniment of unimpeded activity. Pleasure, as such, is neither good nor bad, but is something positive because the effect of pleasure perfects the exercise of that activity. Even so, Aristotle emphasizes that pleasure is not to be sought for its own sake." -Google

Eros, properly speaking, seems much more so like "love" rather than "lust", in a more modern perspective. In Christianity lust is the perversion of love. You should read more Allan Bloom.

>if you read Plato trough your christcuck paradigm
Plato and Aristotle believe in order and if you do something for the wrong reason this makes you disordered. Doing something for the sake of pleasure, and not for the sake of the good is disordered. Therefore lust is disordered, because it is the pursuit of sexual pleasure for its own sake.

The actual passage (History of Sexuality vol. 1 (Pantheon), pp. 31-2):

>One day in 1867, a farm hand from the village of Lapcourt, who was somewhat simple-minded, employed here then there, depending on the season, living hand-to-mouth from a little charity or in exchange for the worst sort of labor, sleeping in barns and stables, was turned in to the authorities. At the border of a field, he had obtained a few caresses from a little girl, just as he had done before and seen done by the village urchins round about him; for, at the edge of the wood, or in the ditch by the road leading to Saint-Nicolas, they would play the familiar game called "curdled milk." So he was pointed out by the girl's parents to the mayor of the village, reported by the mayor to the gendarmes, led by the gendarmes to the judge, who indicted him and turned him over first to a doctor, then to two other experts who not only wrote their report but also had it published. What is the significant thing about this story? The pettiness of it all; the fact that this everyday occurrence in the life of village sexuality, these inconsequential bucolic pleasures, could become, from a certain time, the object not only of a collective intolerance but of a judicial action, a medical intervention, a careful clinical examination, and an entire theoretical elaboration. The thing to note is that they went so far as to measure the brainpan, study the facial bone structure, and inspect for possible signs of degenerescence the anatomy of this personage who up to that moment had been an integral part of village life; that they made him talk; that they questioned him concerning his thoughts, inclinations, habits, sensations, and opinions. And then, acquitting him of any crime, they decided finally to make him into a pure object of medicine and knowledge--an object to be shut away till the end of his life in the hospital at Mareville, but also one to be made known to the world of learning through a detailed analysis. One can be fairly certain that during this same period the Lapcourt schoolmaster was instructing the little villagers to mind their language and not talk about all these things aloud. But this was undoubtedly one of the conditions enabling the institutions of knowledge and power to overlay this everyday bit of theater with their solemn discourse. So it was that our society--and it was doubtless the first in history to take such measures--assembled around these timeless gestures, these barely furtive pleasures between simple-minded adults and alert children, a whole machinery for speechifying, analyzing, and investigating.

>Between the licentious Englishman, who earnestly recorded for his own purposes the singular episodes of his secret life, and his contemporary, this village halfwit who would give a few pennies to the little girls for favors the older ones refused him, there was without doubt a profound connection: in any case, from one extreme to the other, sex became something to say, and to say exhaustively in accordance with deployments that were varied, but all, in their own way, compelling. Whether in the form of a subtle confession in confidence of an authoritarian interrogation, sex--be it refined or rustic--had to be put into words. A great polymorphous injunction bound the Englishman and the poor Lorrainese peasant alike. As history would have it, the latter was named Jouy.

schools for the general public will always be dogma. The majority of humankind are dogmatic thinkers. Civilization requires gigantic masses of dogmatic thinkers to function properly. Its impossible without it, and also impossible to conceive of in any other way; the bulk of the public is not capable of surmounting dogma.
When you change dogma to open-ended "big boy" thinking for general public education, the result is not better discussion, but simply confusion. "Sex bad" doesn't become "sex is complicated and has many facets," it just becomes "sex good." Nothing will EVER be "complicated" for most of humankind. It already is black and white, they are waiting to be told how. This will never change no matter how much you want it to or hold it up as an ideal. Is "sex bad," or "sex good," the truth? No, the truth is "sex is complicated." But society literally cannot handle the truth, so we fashion some purely functionalist dogma to get them to behave the way that either "we" (the elites) want, or that is most beneficial to maintaining the status quo.
Truth is not the goal of public education, the goal there is more like molding clay. Introducing truth into public education, especially in the sexual sphere, just results in OnlyFans and all the other bullshit we have going on today.

But thats exactly what I'm saying.

It is simple really. Sex below a certain age is inherently destructive due to the fact that a child does not desire it and cannot process it. However at differing times through the puberty process children can have real sexual urges and consent to sex. It's not ubiquitous and if someone is not ready for sex they will not consent to it making it rape. The danger lies in the inherent vulnerability in pubescent teenagers that they are not as world understanding and can be manipulated into sex by older and more assertive people. This is still rape. Also the power dynamic of older and teenage people is skewed. These can happen at any age but teenagers and such are vulnerable. But at any age people can be raped. All you are doing is placing procedures of power around sex in an attempt at a general welfare when you have age of consent laws. I think age of consent legislature is good because it allows us to avoid the situations entirely of trying to determine the true nature of consent for individual young cases.

Deconstructionism has it's uses

When you break it down and look at nature as this thing that can be steered any direction, you see it is naturally a heterarchy.
It is based on our will that we choose certain directions to go and grow. One that offer us broader and more resonant connections to the many possibilities we may be interested in.

Messing with kids is a big no no with Europeans.
I don't think so much with other cultures.
How we feel about it has everything to do with our conditioning, identity, and who we wish to be.

I knew a girl who was molested once.
She was very sexually active, a total ray of psychotic sunshine who always needed more and more life. More stimulation. It made life a very exciting and fast paced thing and we always had to seek out more.


I'm not justifying these things. I'd never socially advocate any type of stuff like that.
Foucault would have to define what is right, what "benefit" means, what's the standards are etc. It's all personal projection at some point
Everything is normalization, and it's really then about who's going to stop someone like him. Why do you think they're breaking white men more and more culturally? There's numerous reasons... pic rel?
Law, rule, order is really no place for an artist or someone who leans more into art than into discipline. The more artistic the more feminine. The more feminine the less rules.

Plain and simple, most leftists are not European. Euros are like the dad of the world. No one else has proven to be quality leaders in a massive cultural scale.

What is right is just about what's accepted and normalized and who's standing in your way.
You get what you put in though. There's a "trade off" to any direction.

Deconstructionism isn't wrong and can be useful, but you can deconstruct anything. It's so fucking easy to do and it's for women and fem types.

Stop inserting lustful behavior where it does not belong. Lust and love are indeed connected, but in the way I mentioned before, lust is the perversion of love.

>Pleasure, sexual drives are bad only because they disorganize individuals, which is the worst things that can happen. And they are not bad in itself.
I said lust was bad in itself. Pleasure, as I pasted from Aristotle, is neutral, and not a factor in decision making. However, when you abuse a child for the sake of your own sexual pleasure, this is disordered, because "...pleasure is not to be sought for its own sake".

I don't think I necessarily understand what you mean. I think the issue is that I am equating rape to something as traumatic and destructive, rather than a legal construct about rights and consent.

Ok. But you must realize that you're choosing what you value here. If the sexual act itself feels good to both parties involved or even just to one, then one could say that it wasn't really a bad thing, because the ''bad'' consequencies of an action are less important than the pleasure they gave.

You can not and should not reproduce with a child therefore you are not expressing love in any way shape or form by having sex with a child. The other option is propagation (of ideas), which is what parents do with their children.

The kind which arises from a blend of these presents difficulties,—first, to discover what the man affected by this third kind of love really desires to obtain, and, in the next place, because the man himself is at a loss, being dragged in opposite directions by the two tendencies,—of which the one bids him to enjoy the bloom of his beloved, while the other forbids him. For he that is in love with the body [837c] and hungering after its bloom,1 as it were that of a ripening peach, urges himself on to take his fill of it, paying no respect to the disposition of the beloved; whereas he that counts bodily desire as but secondary, and puts longing looks in place of love,2 with soul lusting really for soul, regards the bodily satisfaction of the body as an outrage, and, reverently worshipping temperance, courage, nobility and wisdom, will desire to live always chastely in company with [837d] the chaste object of his love. But the love which is blended of these two kinds is that which we have described just now as third. Since, then, love has so many varieties, ought the law to prohibit them all and prevent them from existing in our midst, or shall we not plainly wish that the kind of love which belongs to virtue and desires the young to be as good as possible should exist within our State, while we shall prohibit, if possible, the other two kinds?

I like my definition better because I think it accounts for the problem you've described. A philosophy can be an engine, or a fuel, for action, but it is not an action itself. Philosophers aren't actors by default and rarely become actors in practice. There are a number of reasons for this, but academicfags worship thinkers too much without taking proper stock of this.

I actually think Plato and Aristotle were mostly retarded when it comes to their social ideas. Well, okay, that's not true; I think they are overly celebrated, overly praised.
But, Plato's ideas about sublimation are among his best, they are so obviously true. Our animal nature is at odds with our social nature, but simply repressing one ensures the worsened expression of the other. By sublimating rather than repressing, one negates this possibility and actually produces a better outcome for both society and individual.
The irony is that modern post-whateverthefuck (who can keep up) leftists actually use a similar idea to justify their insane social proposals (don't jail drug addicts, give them an outlet/space for doing drugs; don't outlaw sexual paraphilia, embrace it so that there are outlets, etc.) but what they fail to recognize is that their version of "providing outlets," is usually just the undesired consequence itself and not a sublimated outlet.
I.e., a sublimated outlet for sexual paraphilias would be, perhaps, regulated pornography access or the tolerance of private, regulated sex clubs. It would be the toleration of these practices in private, as a sublimated outlet for these people, so that they can still abide by the code of conduct agreed upon in public without breaking apart.

Eros/Love is good. When it is perverted it becomes lust, and is bad and disordered, as I have demonstrated earlier. It is not the disordering agent (that would be the will of the decision maker), it is the disorder itself.

>then what are we talking about.
I said that the desire of the person touching the child is what makes it either okay or not okay. Whereas you were saying what difference does it make its just flesh touching flesh and something about trauma.

For example the desire of the doctor is to heal, and thus of course it is a welcome and good touch regardless of where on the body. On the other hand, I have demonstrated that sexual activity with a child is lustful (from your own quotes), and lust is bad in its own right as I have also demonstrated.

None of that involved trauma or awareness on the part of the child, yet demonstrates the disorder and evil within sexual acts towards that child.

>if a child before a certain age does not desire sex then the act of performing sex with them would inherently be rape?
There's two problems here. The first is assuming that children *can't* want sex; there are plenty anecdotes of people wanting to engage in sexual activities as children, I can provide you with some sources if you're genuinely interested. The second is this common nonsequitur that goes like this:
>Sex is harmful for children because adult appendages don't fit in immature orifices
>All genital touching is sex
>Because touching genitals is sex and sex is harmful, performing cunnilingus on a child is harmful
In general, people aren't interested in injuring their lovers, and pedophiles in particular, while they might fantasize about penetrative intercourse, in practice are overwhelmingly more likely to engage only in non-penetrative acts. While there's fucked up psycopaths out there who don't give a shit about anyone but themselves, these people don't really get stopped just by making things illegal.

>I think the issue is that I am equating rape to something as traumatic and destructive, rather than a legal construct about rights and consent.
So when we're talking about rape in the sense of violent, coerced sex, I think just about everyone everywhere will agree that rape is bad. But in this context, we're talking about "statutory rape," where the actual willingness of the "victim" isn't considered because it's not whether they consented that's at issue, but whether they have the legal capacity to consent. No one is talking about legalizing violent rape, we're talking about removing or modifying the laws that deny minors the ability to legally consent to sex.

Most people who experience abuse as a child didn't even think much of it at the time. Part of the damage that comes from the abuse is the attitude that it's "literally the worst thing ever" so they feel ashamed that they either didn't think much of it or actually enjoyed it. I never said it was entirely benign, just that the cultural hysteria surrounding it actually makes it worse for the abused since they feel a disconnect in the message and the reality. They think there's something wrong with them rather than with the myth.
It also creates a situation where the abuser is more likely to kill the child rather than let them live to tell the tale. What would you prefer? Being raped then killed, or just raped? Your vitriolic need to punish has overridden your rationale and your protection of the child. You're approaching it with the fervour and zealotry of a frothy mouthed fanatic.

I see why you started there, but why did you stop?
>Another one of our instincts is survival, and among some human groups, there is an instinctual propensity toward long-term thriving/delayed gratification, as well.
As humans develop consumer economies (as is within their instincts), they develop social strata to distribute resources, because there is not enough to go around, and some people do more valuable/harder work than others.
As this continues, people observe that the people who have sex often and with multiple partners, are more likely to have children out of wedlock. Children born out of wedlock tend to fare worse in life, and if this goes on unrestrained, these surplus children will become a huge drain on resources. So, utilizing common sense, traditions regarding marriage, and the birthing of children within the confines of those marriages, became popular throughout most of the world. As a method of preserving that institution, another common sense imposition was to regulate public displays of sexuality, because it would increase the temptation to infidelity.
You stop at "DUR MY BODY FEEL GOOD LIKE IT WANT SEX TIME SO NOW SHOULD BE SEX TIME AND IF BAD MAN SAY NO SEX TIME THAT JUST BECAUSE HE BAD MAN AND NOT GOOD MAN."
Why do you assume that, for most of humanity and for our ancestors, this was "common sense?"

There is absolutely no "togetherness" about having sex with someone that hasn't shape themselves in any way. It is pure and unequivocal exploitation.

different definitions were used which explains the confusion.

>Greeks and Plato understood it the same.
>lust = sexual desire = eros
It was literally demonstrated that the above is an incorrect understanding of eros:

"Its main characteristic is permanent aspiration and desire. Even when it seems to give, eros continues to be a "desire to possess", but nevertheless it is different from a purely sensual love in being the love that tends towards the sublime."
>"...it is different from a purely sensual love..."
>"Love is expressed through propagation and reproduction: either physical love or the exchanging and reproducing of ideas"
>"...propagation and reproduction..."
>"In Symposium, eros is described as a universal force that moves all things towards peace, perfection and divinity."

The only place I see sex fitting in here is in reproduction, and in the case of reproduction the sexual pleasure is not the point, but rather the reproduction. The pleasure is just there, just like Aristotle says... neutral.

>Just because sexual drive plays a role when you interact with a minor does not make the situation bad.
I demonstrated earlier based on the content you cited, why sexual drive can not play a role when you interact with a minor, while remaining a good interaction.

>Since it can be used to teach the child (a practice common among greek elite).
Sir, Socrates explicitly condemned this practice and denied it himself when a young man offered himself (I believe this was explained in the Symposium) - and he instead opted for the proper expression of love, which is propagation (of ideas).

>Now you say that sexual desire is itself chaos and bad and whatever
I said MY definition of lust is itself disordered, that definition being: "Lust is disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure."

>It was literally demonstrated that the above is an incorrect understanding of eros:
but you ignore my excerpts:
>"In the Symposium, Eros is recognized both as erotic love and as a phenomenon capable of inspiring courage, valor, great deeds and works, and vanquishing man's natural fear of death"
>"Before Socrates gives his speech he asks some questions of Agathon regarding the nature of love. Socrates then relates a story he was told by a wise woman called Diotima. According to her, Eros is not a god but is a spirit that mediates between humans and their objects of desire. Love itself is not wise or beautiful but is the desire for those things. Love is expressed through propagation and reproduction: either physical love or the exchanging and reproducing of ideas"
Plato's idea of Eros is not limited to sexual desire, but can mean it also. You just quote those parts, which accent the sublimated Eros. Its obvious that Plato wants to keep Eros as primal force in Phaedro and Republic, which is then subordinated to logos, the interpretation does get murkier in Symposium.
>I demonstrated earlier based on the content you cited,
you just said love plays no role in sex with minors, which is an assumption that has no ground. If love can play a role in sexual relations with other adult you'd have to specify why they cant in relation to the child. Even if there is no love, there can be virtues, learning etc. Which makes it sublimated. Also, there is nothing wrong with pleasure for the sake of pleasure, since children want it.

Because that is what they did. For countless millennia people were fucking during/after puberty. They still do it now. Do you not remember high school? This is only a recent phenomena due to feminism that the age of consent is so high. Is their reasoning of giving the girl a chance to go to college instead of being married off reasonable? Sure, but it isn't necessarily an objective evil to be married at 12. This is only a recent phenomena we've adopted because feminists wanted to give girls a chance in the workplace rather than having them be stay at home mothers/wives.

I can absolutely tell you're a groomer.

In a European canon, this was always coupled with marriage if it wasn't during times of pillaging and war (which was acknowledged as rape).

Way back before we developed any type of civilization or standards, rape was just something that happened. It wasn't bad or awful or horrific, it just happened. Welp gonna go rape that female over there. It wasn't traumatic for the female. She just accepted the rape because that's just what was normalized.
It's not "bad", it's just those dang feminism standards.

We're self identifying as a species you midwit molestation apologist. The bulk of us maintain that we don't want to normalize exploiting fucking children.

I used the other one because it clearly demonstrates why I am correct. I am confused about the above excerpt because "erotic love" in a Platonic sense is very different from erotic love in a modern sense. That is up to you to demonstrate.

>Its obvious that Plato wants to keep Eros as primal force in Phaedrus and Republic, which is then subordinated to logos
"Its main characteristic is permanent aspiration and desire." It makes sense that it ought to be subordinated to logos because desire alone can be either good or bad. In this way I think I was off base: love in the Christian sense is not exactly the same as eros. Nonetheless, when it is subordinated to logos the end result is - "...the object of eros is beauty, and the greatest beauty is eternal, whereas physical beauty is in no way eternal."

In short - someone who is both erotic and subservient to logos will desire God. Someone who is erotic and not subservient to logos will crave bodies.

>you just said love plays no role in sex with minors, which is an assumption that has no ground
>If love can play a role in sexual relations with other adult you'd have to specify why they cant in relation to the child
It has ground because you yourself provided the two ways in which love is expressed: reproduction and propagation. Okay, so you think that the good choice to express love to a child is by reproduction????? Or, is it actually what Socrates literally does, which is propagation.

With an adult you can both reproduce and propagate.

Right. Most people want their worldview to become the official narrative because they genuinely believe it to be the Truth.

It certainly does if one understands what it actually is, how it shapes events and lead us here.
I believe that having a woman be able to choose is probably reasonable, because the prior custom assumed ownership over their person. I am anti-slavery as an ethos.
However, today is merely slavery of another sort, because this lifestyle is not merely available to women, but imposed upon them by a variety of media-oriented stimuli and real social policing mechanisms. In short, today's women are not organic manifestations.

You take my citations of Plato as my own position. My own position is different from Plato. For him, desire was only good when it.... well... was aimed at the Good and the Beauty. Or at the sex with the intent of reproduction. I think its a narrow idea of the Good. But I understand why Plato would use it, since he wanted to build the society according to the philosophical worldview. I think that he desire without an aim can be Good, since it is no longer attached to anything else and is self-sufficient. Reproduction is base and contemplation is philosophical. We should not be philosophical nor base when it comes to sex (or sometimes, why not). Thats why pleasure is good on its own. But it can also provide the child with symbolization of sex, which is also good.

Liberalism is stretched itself far enough. Normalizing and tolerating child molestation is another notch on the belt.

And again, when you remove disincentive, you create incentive for those who are pure impulse with no code to do whatever they feel like.

Normalizing everything isn't the answer. Look at the behavioral results of those whom were molested, even without hysterics.
Prone to extreme behavior and rampant promiscuity. Less stable relationships.

First of all, you are clearly demonstrating that you do not agree with Plato, despite saying Plato agrees with you:

>Reproduction is base
He does not say that, and I do not say that. Reproduction is a part of life, and according to Socrates, a way to express love, at least when it is subservient to logos (meaning you cant reproduce like a crazed ape).

>it is relevant to the question of how we should regulate adult-child relations
No, because children lack the capacity to reason. It does not matter what they want, it is unreasonable and therefore they do as they are told by their reasonable elders.

>They lack the reason, but they should be provided with the tools for it.
It comes as they grow and also through propagation, not through pleasuring yourself on them.

The main thing is this - I have now demonstrated to you from a Platonic (per your request, non Christian) perspective, why it is that sec with kids is bad. You disagree with Plato, okay, but you know a good case now from a man who you consider intelligent.

I dont think there are other alternatives in christianity.
>Reproduction is a part of life
it is base as in it is immanent as opposed to transcended (idea of the Good), it can be sublimated though, then of course it becomes something else (trought marriage rituals etc).
>No, because children lack the capacity to reason.
and philosophers could provide them with means to reason, since it inevitabl requires a certain paideia. My idea was that the current paideia of sexuality views adult-child sex as wrong and this idea harms children (The Trauma Myth). Teaching them about sex would revert this.

I think you're intelligent, but you lack individual thinking. Study other cultures and how they regulate sex. Study ancient greek, renaissance, rome sexual culture. There might be alternatives to the one we currently have. Also, read The Trauma Myth. Children become traumatic mainly because of culture.

No. My point is that this is largely hysteria, and going by the victim's account, they aren't as traumatized as the myth will lead you to believe. It's you, someone who wasn't abused, and a bunch of idiot psychiatrists, telling the victim how they should feel rather than asking them how they feel. It's unscientific.
Does this mean I'm saying it's okay? No. Just that the current hysteria is out of proportion and actually damages the victims that it claims to help.
It stems from a Christian idea that sex is evil. Add a child into the mix and suddenly the moral framework implodes on itself and everyone's whipped into a religious frenzy screaming about how it's the worst thing ever.

Zero way to define this either way.
How someone feels about something comes down to acceptance or rejection. Be it the abused or the society at large.
And again, it's about normalization.
If people don't have strong emotional reactions to it, it's an act of normalization or passively allowing it because it's not high up on our hierarchy of alarm.
Expecting parents to not have potent emotions for how their child is treated is absolute buffoonery.

And all I've got to say is what does this result in
What's the outcome of those whom are molested as children
Most of the time they go on to molest themselves or become extremely sexually active. This promiscuity bleeds into the result of their life and they jump from thing to thing. It's absolutely akin to our liberal commoditization culture.
This had nothing to do with hysterics and everything to do with how the body is programmed to experience reality.

Again, what you're saying is to move it down some notches on the hierarchy of alarm. This is closer to normalcy.
If we didn't have hysterics about rape in our society, more rape would happen because there wouldn't be -as- strong emotions to compel more people into action.


You are either an extremely manipulative person, or you've sat back rationalizing this to insane lengths to your own self. And if you've committed that much effort and energy towards it, it absolutely holds value to you.

I think that sex has nothing to do with the capacity to reason. The capacity to reason becomes available naturally, and can then be cultivated through propagation (of ideas).

I have no idea why the biological process of reproduction has any bearing on this. Trauma is completely irrelevant as well. This is actually absurd and completely ungrounded. You keep saying sex will teach them, I have no idea why this would ever be the case.

>why not both? greek elites would not oppose me on this point. Their whole society was grounded in pedophiliac relationships between mentor and the student
Because reproduction is impossible if you're same sex, and immoral if you do it outside of marriage. Furthermore the Greek elite knowingly did it in the spirit of exchanging their wisdom to the young one for the pleasant sexual services. The sex itself and the wisdom they imparted on their apprentices are two different and unconnected things (aside from the fact that it was a trade). And again, this is something that Socrates was VERY MUCH AGAINST.

This now becomes the channel under which an individual is largely programmed.
If a child is profoundly loved, they will have a lot of love in them. If a child is resented, they will feel resented. So on.

When a child has a sexual experience at a young age, they have a very potent bodily response that shapes the brain, often in such a way that the child disproportionately favors this behavior because it was very stimulating.
"Good" or "bad", it doesn't matter.
The child seeks out to get that "hit" again, as it's a vice. They grew up around it, and they receive satisfaction from it.
It's the same thing as people who get caught in abuse cycles, they enjoy it.


When you remove the potent negative connotation around child molestation, again, you slowly reduce the will to act. Kids will start to grow up enjoying it and they will then reflect the law of the land. These people tend to be the type to molest children themselves.


Of course a kid can tell you they are "okay with" or "enjoyed" their molestation. This is quite obviously normalization.
If that kid received high stimulation from the event, of course they're going to seek it out.


You're both either totally daft or completely manipulative.
This will absolutely normalize pedophilia.

Not true and it varies based on the abuse.
Educate yourself instead of repeating myth.
No one is advocating pedophilia. I'm just saying you are ignorant about a lot of it and hysteria based on myth is a destructive force, arguably an even more destructive force than what it is hysterical about, and it can often exacerbate the issue that caused the hysterics.

It means 35% of sex abuse victims become abusers


Might I remind you that the entire context of this thread is centered at attacking an abuser. A literal child rapist.
If your approach is to work with children that's completely fine.
But someone still needs to hold abusers accountable and set an example for the rest of society to see.
Pedophilia should never be normalized. Period.

The data clearly indicates a large portion of the abused will become abusers and this is why it's absolutely imperative that pedophiles are not allowed to abuse children in the first place.

>Even if I was right and sexual abusewas not a traumatic event at the time it occurred, whatwas wrong with continuing to believe what we all be-lieve about it?
>Today, I am not surprised by this reaction. I realizethat many people committed to helping victims of sex-ual abuse do not really care about the truth surround-ing the actual event. The trauma theory’s inaccuracydoes not matter to them. We do not live in a scientificlab; we live in the real world. And in the real world,based on the paucity of inquiry into the topic, mostpeople associate our current thinking about sexualabuse with progress for victims. Given that assumption,who would want to risk even the hint of a return to atime when sexual abuse was ignored, when victimswere blamed for any sex crimes against them, and whenperpetrators got off the hook and went on to defilemore innocent children? I understand why we cling tothe trauma model. Any data that runs counter to itmight threaten the progress victims’ rights advocatesfought so hard to achieve.
>The reason the truth matters—the reason advocacyis, in fact, best based on truth—is that our lies aboutsexual abuse are not helping victims. As I discuss in thenext two chapters, based on what victims have to say, professionals in the mental health field have not mademuch progress for them. Unfortunately, the current cli-mate for survivors does not appear to be much differenttoday than it was in the past. Today, victims still feel ig-nored, they still rarely speak out about the crimesagainst them, and when they do, they are still disbe-lieved and blamed.
Virtue signaling does not help victims. Politicizing the issue for your own selfish need to play the big strong hero man doesn't help victims.
