Nope I wasn't. I was using archaeology and scientific models of how long early man lived, which was, on average, 25 years. It's biology, not psychology. The age of sexual maturity (I'm not talking psychological maturity) hasn't changed all that much in the last 40,000 years, with sexual maturation occurring between 12 to 14, on average. Again, that's not psychology, that's biology. Survival of the species was dependent upon early maturation to produce offspring that could survive.
Fast forward to 2015. Laws recognize, define, and protect those under a specific age in which there can't be legal consent. Laws don't change biology, it puts rules in place that are not tied to biology. And those rules are important and upheld.
Is JF a pedophile? If he's attracted to pre-pubsescent girls, then by definition he is a pedophile. If he's attracted to post-pubescent females, then by definition, he's not considered a pedophile. But by acting out on his attraction to females under 18, that makes him a sex offender, by law, and by owning and distributing childwhere the subjects are under 18, that just piles on more.
He might only get 12 years in prison, but he's torpedoed the rest of his life, that's for sure, along with ruining his family. He'll be a registered sex offender and a famous one at that.
No, I'm saying assigning 'instinct' to sexual preferences is absolutely psychological theory. There is no peer reviewed scientific study that has proven in test upon test, what single thing or combination of things is causing any given person to find any other person sexually appealing or not sexually appealing.
I gotta drop out of this topic or I fear we will start getting time outs!
