You've made a big mistake here, I don't want to "recommend sexual
activities prior to proper maturity" I want to not "stop sexual
activity before 'proper maturity.'" Thus, it is not up to me to prove
anything, but up to you to prove that we *do* need to stop sexual
activities before maturity. So how do you determine "proper
maturity"? What damage does not having an 'age of consent' do to a
person or society?
You haven't once criticised the ideas I expressed, instead you
criticise the lack of books on the subject. New ideas don't come in
print form, and sometimes it's worth looking at things from a
different perspective.
