The US senate condemned, with a 99:0 vote, prestigious research in the American Psychological Association journal. The meta analysis showed that in cases of sexual “child abuse”, no damage can be found if no violence has been employed and the victim has at least average intelligence. Yes, even we are shocked, but we are committed to science, not to dogma. Bill Clinton condemned the “Bell Curve” (about racial differences in intelligence) without even reading it. There is strong Repression of research violating dogmas. Underage sex with post-puberty girls (and boys?) was widely legal 150 years ago.
Milo Yiannopoulos says that he “is advocating” for legal sex between 13 year olds! & older men.
“Paedophilia is not a sexual attraction to someone 13 years old who is sexually mature, paedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty,” he said.
He also said he “didn’t mind” advocating for what another man in the broadcast called “cross-generational relationships”.
In video taken from another recent podcast with former Fear Factor host Joe Rogan, Yiannopoulos talked about sexual relationships he had when he was 14, and recalled “very young boys” taking drugs and having sex at parties he’d attended in LA. [Source]
Milo shies away`from the “race difference” taboo, but -unwisely- steps into 1000 times more taboo subject of Teenage Sexuality.
In 1880, the age of consent was set at 10 or 12 in most states, with the exception of Delaware where it was 7. The ages of consent were raised across the U.S. during the late 19th century and the early 20th century. By 1920 ages of consent generally rose to 16–18 and small adjustments to these laws occurred after 1920.
Ages of consent in the United States – Wikipedia
Disclaimer: Age of consent of 12 years means that sex at that age is an issue of the child and their parents and not of concern for government and legal sanctions. It does NOT mean condoning or favoring such activities, just as impunity for drunkenness means condoning alcoholism.
Bruce Rind Study: Scientific Publications Condemned and Repressed by US Congress and Senate
One of the most prestigious peer reviewed research journals of the American Psychological Association published a meta-research (an overview of lots of other research papers) with disturbing findings. Result: the US Senate and US congress condemned the Research. After all, the preconceived notions behind our criminalization of Teenage Sexuality must not be disturbed.
Disclaimer: The issue here is repression of research and denial of the truth. One still may defend the laws as they are, but should not repress free research that could challenge one’s personal political opinions.

The authors’ stated goal was “…to address the question: In the population of persons with a history of CSA [child sexual abuse], does this experience cause intense psychological harm on a widespread basis for both genders?” Some of the authors’ more controversial conclusions were that child sexual abuse does not necessarily cause intense, pervasive harm to the child;[3] that the reason the current view of child sexual abuse was not substantiated by their empirical scrutiny was because the construct of CSA was questionably valid; and that the psychological damage caused by the abusive encounters depends on whether the encounter was consensual or not.[1]
Rind et al. concluded with a statement that even though CSA may not result in harm, this does not mean it is not wrong or morally repugnant behavior and denied that their findings implied current moral and legal prohibitions against CSA should be changed.[1]Numerous pro-pedophile advocacy organizations have quoted the paper in support of their efforts to lower or rescind age of consent laws, and defense attorneys have used the study to argue for minimizing harm in child sexual abuse cases.[4][5] Wikipedia on Bruce Rind
