Theoretical Rough Draft Part - I
INTRODUCTION:
Pedophilia and incest are mostly seen as complicit and are universally condemned as reprehensible human sexual behaviours especially in the western world today. However, historically, these two practices have played the most crucial or indispensable role as most important in the evolution and survival of human race throughout their past history. However in our present day MSM and social media reports, discussions and particularly in the academic literatures and the paper publications a fragrant disregard or lack or absence of reliable, objective, scientific studies on this topic specially on the pubescent age sexual attractions, desires and relations remains as a significant obstacle, particularly in the Western world. Therefore, in this present study I would like to mainly focus on this particular human age related adolescent sexual behaviours and practice branded as “pedophilia” in west, pertaining to the human sexual attraction and desires towards pubescent sexuality and practices particularly relating to the prepubescent girls.
STIGMA AND BIAS ON
PEDOPHILIA RESEARCH:
The heavy stigma attached to so called
“pedophilia” sex in modern societies has
led to research on the subject, being tainted by biased moral
judgment, rendering many of these academic
studies pseudoscientific. Consequently,
the only viable approach for an unbiased study of these phenomena is to apply Darwinian
principles of evolution alongside contemporary game theory. By using
these two frameworks combined with the historical records, we can
attempt to impartially understand how such behaviours might have
contributed to human survival and social development. This method allows
us to bypass the moral overlays of modern Western thought, which often
label pedophilia not just as a crime but as psychological disorder, deviance
paraphilia, perversions etc., thereby creating a skewed perspective on this
human sexual behavior. This prejudiced pedophilia research and
classification has significantly shaped contemporary medical and legal
frameworks, which criminalize pedophilia based on what can be argued as
flawed moral, medical, and legal standards deeply rooted in Western
culture.
A CRITIQUE OF
WESTERN MEDICAL AND LEGAL FRAMEWORKS:
The modern Western medical
and legal frameworks that criminalize ‘pedophilia’ are largely built on what can be argued as fraudulent moral,
medical, legal standards that are deeply rooted in the modern Western
worldview. These corrupt academical standards, exemplified by the International
Classification of Diseases (ICD) and the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), have been highly influential in shaping
global health doctrines throughout the 20th century. Their frameworks until the first of 20th century used
to pathologize behaviours like adultery, prostitution, and homosexuality,
including incest even the masturbation, by broadly labelling them
as mental disorders, sexual deviations, perversions, paraphilia’s
and dysfunctions. Such moral and academical judgments were common
throughout human history, criminalizing a range of human
sexual behaviours under the pretext of mental health and societal
protection.
SHIFT IN MORAL
STANDARDS TO CRIMINALISE PEDOPHILIA
It was during the second
half of the 20th century academical institutions began to
decriminalize and destigmatize practices like adultery, prostitution, incest,
homosexuality, masturbation etc., recognizing these as matters of personal choice rather than moral or
mental failings. However, in an ironic twist, they
increasingly focused on the prosecution of pubescent age sexual behaviours as
pedophilia or paraphilia’s,
rigorously criminalizing it with the same flowed subjective moral,
psychological and medical rhetoric used to broadly condemn, adultery, prostitution,
homosexuality, incest and masturbation etc., now turned it on, what was previously accepted adolescent age sexual desires, attractions
and relations that were sanctioned as morally good and beneficial to the
society. Terms like sexual deviations, perversions, moral
degradation, and family dysfunction now repurposed criminalize to
enforce these modern prohibitions. This shift in moral standards reveals a hypocritical
stance in behaviours once
criminalized were gradually normalized, while newly coined terms,
like pedophilia, became the focal points of extreme condemnation of adult with adolescent love relations as pedophilia under similar medical and moral frameworks.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF MARRIAGES AT THE AGE OF ADOLESCENT
Allow me to delve briefly
into a noteworthy historical context, providing essential background
before proceeding further with my discussion. Throughout history, almost all
societies normalized marriage around the age of puberty, often
between 10 to 13 for girls. In ancient Rome and Greece, girls
married shortly after puberty, with examples like Julia the Elder in
Rome and Spartan practices. Medieval Europe saw child marriages among
nobility, such as Margaret Beaufort in England (1455) married at 12 and gave
birth at the age of 13 to King Henry VII , while the Church set
marriage ages at 12 for girls and 14 for boys. In Islamic societies,
early marriages were common, exemplified by Aisha’s marriage to Muhammad,
and the Ottoman Empire used child marriages for political alliances. Hindu
and South Asian traditions promoted child marriage to ensure purity and
familial ties, while imperial China and feudal Japan married girls
in their early teens for familial and social stability. Native American
tribes and African societies also practiced early marriage as part
of cultural rites. In Renaissance Europe and colonial America,
girls often married in their mid-teens, reflecting societal norms. These
practices, rooted in cultural, economic, and social contexts, contrast
sharply with modern understandings of child rights and development,
which universally condemn such practices today.
HISTORICAL
ACCEPTANCE OF PREPUBESCENT SEXUAL RELATIONS AND MARRIAGES
It is essential to recognize that, contrary
to the current Western moral views on pedophilia historical records
shows that our forebears, until very recently, not only accepted but actively
practiced pubescent sexual relations, what we now label as pedophilia.
Child marriages were widespread, seen as good and beneficial for the
individual and the broader community. These unions were often justified on as occurring
at ideal age when prepubescent girls entering sexual maturity,
marked by gonadarche, the onset of hormonal changes the biological
transition leading to sexual maturation. This practice was believed to
protect young girls from the risks associated with their burgeoning sexual
attraction, desires, potentially leading to behaviors that could cross
legal and social boundaries, thus endangering their future and societal
harmony.
EARLY MARRIAGE AS A
SAFEGUARD FOR MORAL AND SOCIAL INTEGRITY
The
traditional belief was that early marriage safeguarded a girl's social,
moral, and familial integrity. It was thought that marrying young
would deter girls from engaging in inappropriate behavior driven by
natural adolescent curiosity and perceived heightened sexual attractions
and desires, which might otherwise lead them to seek illicit
relationships outside marriage. By transferring responsibility from parents
to husbands, early marriage ensured a girl's safety and honor.
This historical context challenges the modern Western perspective, suggesting
that the stigmatization of adolescent age sexual behaviors, labelling it as
pedophilia offence, is not an
eternal moral absolute but a relatively recent development influenced by
changing cultural and ideological norms.
MORAL INCONSISTENCY
AND LEGAL JUDGMENTS IN
CRIMINALIZING PEDOPHILIA
If one aims to logically argue that pedophilia
is morally reprehensible and causes irreparable societal harm,
thereby justifying its criminalization as a heinous offense, then, consistency
demands that this logic also be applied to behaviours like adultery,
prostitution, homosexuality, incest, and masturbation. Historically,
these were all criminalized, almost in all societies until the mid-20th
century, purportedly because they were thought to lead to social decay that fails to protect the future generation same as the western child protection agencies
believe in the case of pedophilia today. This shows, the current
decriminalization or non-criminalization of these behaviours,
including consensual incest in some jurisdictions, starkly contrasts
with the ongoing criminalization of pedophilia. If societal harm is the
moral criterion for such legal judgments, this selective application of law
reveals a profound moral inconsistency. It suggests that contemporary sexual
morality and legal policies are not based on objective harm or
ethical principles but rather reflect arbitrary prejudices on shifting
cultural biases, casting doubt on the rationality and fairness of current legal
categorizations.
REASSESSING IDEOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF SEXUAL
OFFENSE LAWS FAMILY ETHICS AND
ITS OVERZEALOUS MORAL PANIC INDOCTRINATION
To emphasize the previous “moral inconsistency”
point further, applying it to the modern day family ethical concerns, of
protecting their mothers sisters wife
and children from the outside influence
of deviant predatory sexually pervert behaviours, including rape. However, today they accept that the decriminalization of adultery,
prostitution, homosexuality, masturbation or incest does not pose such threat to their mothers,
sisters, wives, or children, but views only pedophilia catastrophically
destroys the life of the sexually
innocent children in theirs as well others family. They first of all, needs to check
their own mental faculty, of reasoning and moral, logical consistency
first. This attitude demonstrates, their prejudiced emotional
response due overzealous moral panic indoctrination rather than a
reasoned ethical principle. True moral and legal coherence
requires either uniformly criminalizing all these behaviours. OR acknowledge
that societal perceptions and NOT the inherent harm, drives
the unique demonization of pedophilia in the modern age. This
realization compels a reassessment of the ideological basis
underpinning contemporary sexual offense laws.
HISTORICAL
PERSPECTIVE OF EARLY-AGE HUMAN SEXUALITY
Building
on this historical prevalence of early-age sexual relations, once
celebrated as vital to societal well-being, remains in stark contrasts with its vilification as
“pedophilia” under todays Western frameworks. Far from being inherently
harmful, these unions, rooted in child marriages, were endorsed
across cultures for hundreds of thousands of years as a natural
progression—girls primed at puberty to bear children, ensuring familial
stability and societal continuity. Parents in ancient times saw this as
safeguarding their daughters’ moral integrity, channeling sexual
attraction into sanctioned bonds that bolstered community cohesion.
Yet, today’s selective outrage deems only pedophilia a catastrophic
threat to their children below 18 age,” while decriminalized acts like
adultery or homosexuality escape similar scrutiny. This inconsistency
exposes a cultural bias, not a reasoned ethic, as the true foundation of
current laws. To cling to this double standard—excusing some behaviors yet
demonizing prepubescent age sexual
relations—is to embrace hypocrisy over logic. A coherent
reassessment of sexual offense laws must confront this truth: societal
perception, not objective harm, drives the stigmatization, demanding a
rethink of their ideological roots.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I neither justify nor make presumption on
pedophilia. I simply want to know its proof of concept based on my critical historical
study findings, to scrutinize its scientific validity based on true or
objective facts that could clear many of my questions on this subject matter. Moreover,
I feel it is my historical duty because it can destroy or save millions of
human lives in deciding whether they are the most dangerous sexual perverts,
predator or child rapist who should be incarcerated if not killed or some quite
normal innocent people.
I am ready to remove delete any part words or
sentence of this paper if anyone proves it is built on unscientific grounds which
offend the feelings of some peoples. Ask any question and I will answer it as
soon as it is possible for me.
I welcome anyone who likes to contribute into this theoretical paper specially to its second part. Write to me in the comment box. Any help in this appreciated.
