Prescriptum: Sorry if the issue is too risque, and I ask for any comments you may have.

Issue:

Redefine pedophilia

All throughout @@NAME@@ groups are forming to loosen laws governing the age of consent.

[option]Three-time acquitted sex criminal @@RANDOMNAME@@ says, "Pedophiles are disgusting, but I ain't one of them. Kids these days learn most of what they need to know about sex before puberty, and are eager to try it. I'm not saying let ten-year-olds have sex, but maybe the age of consent should be lowered to, say, 13."
[effect] it has become common practice for children to roam @@NAME@@'s red light district upon turning 13

[option]"Well I am saying that," declares twelve-year-old @@RANDOMNAME@@ after breaking from a long french kiss with his ten-year-old girlfriend. "Anyone who wants to have sex with anyone else should be allowed to do so."
[effect] parents and social workers alike are complaining about rising STI rates in pre-pubescent children

[option]"Think of the children!" cries @@RANDOMNAME@@, as her 22-year-old son tries to distance himself from her. "We mothers know what is best for our children. I should be able to protect my son from all those bad girls out there and there perversions, and how can I do that if he's allowed to sleep with any floozy whenever he wants to? Mothers should have a legal standing in their children's sex lives."
[effect] mothers have the final say in all marriage and sexual decisions and frequently accuse their children's sex partners of rape or seduction

This is one that just from the topics in this forum I can tell has been done over and over. You can still give it a shot, but you'll probably have stiff competition and thus need to write it especially well.

IIRC there is already a result in one of the child sex education issues that sets the age of marriage to as low as 12!

In option 2, change "girlfriend" to "lover" or "romance partner" or some gender-neutral term: you can't specify what gender RANDOMNAME is.

Why? there are other issues that use non gender neutral terms.

Great...another pedo trying to justify his perversion using an online game. :rolleyes:

I thought there was a ban on these sorts of threads. Has it been lifted?

But it's better if you don't. :D

But it's better if you don't. :D

But my point is that the other ones don't, so why start now?

This wouldn't actually redefine pedophilia as such. People who are attracted to teenagers are not pedophiles, who are attracted specifically to pre-pubescent children.

There is nothing perverted about advocating a lower age of consent.

The nature of ephebophilia is unresolved, and a variety of perspectives are held. Some regard ephebophilia as merely a milder form of pedophilia, in which the object of attraction is closer to what is "normal" than with a true pedophile. According to one theory, ephebophilia is a chronophilia, i.e. a paraphilia in which the paraphile's sexual/erotic age is discordant with his or her actual chronological age, and is instead concordant with the age of the partner.

Others argue that a consistent preference for adolescents is merely normal attraction to individuals at or near the peak of their sexual capability, and reflects a biologically normal reproductive strategy (in contrast to a preference for pre-pubescents, which does not and is therefore pathological).

Attraction to adolescents is not commonly regarded by psychologists as inherently pathological, only when it interferes with other relationships, becomes an obsession adversely affecting other areas of life, or causes distress to the subject.

Sexual desire that includes adolescents along with older individuals is common among adults with either a heterosexual or a homosexual orientation; this is not labeled "ephebophilia" because the attraction to adolescents is not exclusive of adults.

Please change the 2nd "there" to "their."

But my point is that now's as good a time as any to start.
