I hear you, there's alot of charged things that you're commanded to agree with, but the opposing side will never back up their arguements. Unfortunately, I've been busy and finding articles online that aren't just rehashings of the same stuff can be a little bit difficult on some subjects. So having a little bit of trouble finding some of the stuff I promised.
I looked over your link, and I don't see anywhere that indicates that partnered sexual activity is a potential trigger.
They don't, unfortunately the wording is always vague and always refers to "sexual abuse", not really specifying whether rape, showing of genitals, nor what its talking about. Though finding something on partnered sexual activity at such a young age might prove impossible, as its not a subject scientists are willing to touch that specifically.
I'm still going to look for better data.
People are overemotional about everything, and when it comes stuff like this, especially so.
Can you explain how the exposure to my testosterone would happen, in a mechanical sense, if I were to engage in sex with a little girl? Do you believe it is transmitted through sweat, contact with sexual fluids, or that there is some form of blood to blood contact which transmits my hormones to my partner and vice versa?
I've got no clue. I know, not a helpful answer, but it is an honest one.
Are you aware that contraception exists?
Yes, but usually not in those sizes, nor with drugs tested on children. There's also the risk of STDs which you have to admit, are children able to be responsible in preventing them?
"None were prepubescent anymore, but they were definitely under the age of 13. In fact, two off the top of my head didn't even enter the double digits:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_yo ... th_mothers
The boys that spring to mind were 10-13, so those are a little more debateable. Though yeah, pubescent at 5 isn't prepubescence, but c'mon, it might as well be!"I realize this is a minor, nit picky point, but no. You don't go through puberty and still remain prepubescent.
Not nitpicky, I agree that they weren't prepubescent anymore. My point was that they are still kids, they're under 13, and mentally other than that puberty, still children. They're so young, the age kids usually are before puberty.
That talks about the sex hormones the body produces on its own. I don't see anything there about environmental exposure. Certainly not environmental exposure specifically from partnered sex.
I'm trying to find data that isn't just rehashing of the same claims. Was told of a study by a therapist a long long time back, but didn't really look into it. This is actually kind of bothering me that I can't find it.
Your link seems to actually support the various social hypotheses better than it supports the idea that cognative development becomes meaningfully, permanently impaired. Especially where it discusses the differences in how males and females react to the condition.
I can see that.
I trust you understand I've been disappointed by offers to present such evidence in the past. The reaction you're seeing from me is called being jaded. But still, I live to be proven wrong, so take however much time you need, but please present this information that you have, so I can stop being wrong.
I get that you're jaded. I'll admit that I haven't really researched this alot nor deeply. It's a subject that's incredibly awkward to even approach to question it, you understand this right?
