Kids and Sex
Will Baude of Crescat Sententia has a brief discussion of whether it is a Bad Thing
for 13-year olds to engage in consensual sexual activity, motivated by some blogosphere traffic concerning
a recent unsavory case in Pennsylvania. [Will is also educating me regarding permalinks -- I already had
them (the time stamp at the bottom of each post) without knowing it, not unlike that Moliere character
who learned that he had been speaking prose all his life.] You might also want to read Will's review
of a controversial book concerning teen sex, Judith Levine's Harmful to Minors. Another book
that looks at kids and obscenity, among other topics, is Marjorie Hein's fine Not In Front of the Children.
