Here is another question. Should the age of consent be lower for boys versus what it is for girls? There was that trial down in Florida with that attractive female teacher having sex with minors, but as BigBen said earlier "if a mature woman offered herself to me, I would have fucked her twice before her voice echoed off the closest wall." And I don't think any teenage boy would be harmed by that, it is a fantasy of a lot of us. 20 years from now, will the boy look back on his encounters with the teacher as a good thing or a bad thing in his life? Did it harm his development and future relationships any? I am a depressed 26 year old because that student has more experience than me. I know that if any girl was willing to have sex with me at any age past 12, it would not have been a problem with me, and would have saved me some money in therapy bills. I'm not sure I would have felt that I'd been taken advantage of by the adult. Is it sexist to think that girls under 18 wouldn't view their sexual encounters with older guys the same way?

Of course it would be different if it was forced or if money exchanged hands, but I doubt that happens very often.

The weirdest thing I ever found out about this was, if you were under 18 and ever took naked pictures of yourself, it is considered child porn. I wonder if you could charge a kid with child porn laws? And now with the webcams and digital pictures, I would bet that a lot of high school bf/gf couples have transmitted images of themselves to each other, but when they turn 18, the things they saw in person become illegal.

I could see the argument that pedophilia has more to do with the environment and situations in your life. Or maybe their brains are biologically setup to find girls that look healthy and fertile, but it just happens that society (rightly, IMO) protects the girls who wouldn't be able to handle it. And the Dads that make the laws don't want their 13-14 year old daughter getting hit on by a 30 year old.

The final thought I had, and have no idea about the answer is: If a pedophile had a real girlfriend/boyfriend relationship growing up in their early teens, would they still be so interested in young girls?
