Question 1:
Are children inherently sexual beings?




Naomi Wolf


The question is so open ended that it is hard to answer concretely. We define "sex" as this specific, targeted, consumer-identified activity, whereas, for children, their physical experience of the world is a more unified sense of a life force; their sexuality is much more tactile and diffuse, more part of a continuum of ordinary sensory enjoyment of the world around them. And it's because human sexuality is inborn and innate -- just like the capacity to see or smell or touch -- that it is all the more important for us, in what is often a decadent culture, to protect children from sexual exploitation or abuse.
