Kinsey didn’t say, but he wrote that the psychic damage to children who have sex with adults comes from the horrified reaction of adults, not from the sex itself.

I am SO going to puke.

Take a long look at this, folks. This will be the banner by which pedophiles will seek to legitimize their "alternate lifestyle" 30 years from now. And those of us who reject it will be labelled as "hateful pedophobes."

A few years ago the American Physchological Association put out a similar report which they retracted very quickly after a public outcry.

His studies included the 'orgasms' of infants... now how do you think they managed to make an infant 'orgasmic' if they didn't 'do something' to them?

We have Dr. Laura Schlessinger to thank for alerting the public of this very conclusion being published (in what is known as the Rind Study) in an American Psychological Association journal back in 1999.

"Now that people are once again chattering about Kinsey’s legacy, I hope across-the-board nonjudgmentalism and adult-child sex come up for discussion."

Guess this author has a few demons himself.

"I am SO going to puke."

I understand your reaction, it is also important to understand why Kinsey's language can be used as legitimizing the results. As putrid as it sounds, this is more an issue of advocacy and reception.
For example, it is true that children look to adults particularly when they are small for the appropriate reaction to pain. Think of small children who fall down, and immediately look up at the adult. Their reaction is halted, and does not reach fruition until the adult reacts. In that sense if you smile and say "great fall!", they will not cry....where as if you over react and look horrified, they will howl.
It is this rational, that is being used to prove that if an abused child were to receive positive accolades from an adult, the behavior would not necessarily immediately be received as a negative.
What needs to be repeated and reenforced is that it is the adults responsibility to protect children from both dangerous physical injury and dangerous psychological injury....and not misuse the excuse of moral equivalency in the reaction to the injury.

By then we'll be voting on DMA from the rooftops. They're not going to TOUCH my kids.

It's already being used by pedophiles, along with changing the language, i.e. adult-child sex or intergenerational sex instead of child sexual abuse.
