These pages present a collection of scientific research and other demonstrative references on matters relevant to minor sexuality.

Key Social Concepts

  • Secondary Harm: Does social interpretation of adult-minor sex create or compound the harm attributed to it?
  • Sexual Repression: Can sexual neglect and desexualization cause harm?
  • Family Environment: Do family factors associated with 'CSA' inflate the negative effects reported in most studies of it?

In Relation to the Child

  • Childhood Sexual Innocence: Is the cultural hypothesis of innate sexual "innocence" supported by the literature?
  • Cognitive Ability: At what age do young people develop certain abilities, qualities, and is there a "peak"?
  • Profiling the Child Victim: Do children who have been sexually involved express a typical set of symptoms?
  • Body Count: What proportion of children have been "sexually abused"? How does this depend upon our definitions?

In Relation to the Child's Older Partner

  • Abused-Abuser: Is the idea that "abused" children go on to perpetrate empirically sound?
  • Immaturity: Are the adult partners retarded or lacking in intelligence?
