Daisy and Gabbi if I dismissed sexual abuse of children anywhere in my post I am sorry. I am not always clear in my thinking or expression. I may also have misrepresented others' posts when I spoke of normalizing sexual experimentation in children. It is important not to shame children for their sexuality in much the same way as it is important to teach them that sex must be mutually consentual, for example. Two year olds who are chastized for touching themselves or engaging in sexual play can have difficult conflict about their sexuality at adolescence and in their adult relationships. Some could characterize the imposition of stuanchly puritanical attitudes about sexuality in children as a form of child abuse. I thought I focused in my post on my experience with perpetrators of sexual abuse, including other children, something I would never normalize and certainly not dismiss. If it sounded like a did, I hope I clarified myself.
