Pederasty in a free society

Mikhail Zeno | 07.12.2007 03:13 | Analysis | Culture | Repression | London | World

Pederasty according to me. I am not a pedophile. I do not support rape, but voluntary sexual intercourse.

Pederasty is beneficial to society ! What would the average member of this society say if he or she came across this statement? They would certainly disagree or even be furious against the person who made that statement. But should society really prosecute this minority of pedophiles and punish the action of pederasty? The answer is no. Pederasty is not only something natural and part of the good human nature, it is actually beneficial for the child.
Firstly, pederasty was regarded by one the first civilized people, the ancient Greeks as something noble, something which is part of the everyday life of an adult and a child, no matter the genre. It was seen upon as an act highly educational, which would also bring sexual indulgence to both the child and the adult. After the conquer of the Greeks by the Romans and through the spread of Greco-Roman civilization pederasty was something that was accepted universally. During the Middle Ages, the Church took away all human freedom in the name of God’s will, and destroyed everything noble of the Classical and Ancient years .Pederasty was prosecuted by the priests, and was therefore repressed and abolished. But the fact that pederasty was something universally accepted before the Dark Ages, shows that it was part of the good human nature. Even though something that is universal is not necessarily something noble, that argument can be used against the thought that pederasty is wrong because that is the present universal belief. So if pederasty was universally accepted before the conformist Church repressed it, that means that pederasty was part of the good human nature and should be not only decriminalized, but also seen as something necessary to the upbringing of the child. Especially after the cultural revolution of the 60s that abolished everything conformist, imposed by the Church.
Secondly, pederasty is something beneficial to the child. The child through having a sexual intercourse with experienced adults when it reaches early adolescence, can learn how to become a good sexual partner when it is older. It can avoid all this depression which it goes through during his early teens because of the lack of sexual activity, and it can also enjoy the act of sex. Pederasty in a society without taboos, where sexual freedom is guaranteed for everyone, should become a part of the upbringing of a child.
Thirdly, although pederasty is something in general beneficial for the child it should be performed in such a way that the kid is not hurt physically. As for the people who would argue that pederasty is something that hurts psychologically and mentally the child, that is a ridiculous argument. Pederasty will hurt the child psychologically only if society views the act of pederasty as something evil. If society viewed pederasty as something natural just as the ancient times, the kid would not develop mental or psychological problems after having sex with an adult, simply because the kid itself would view it as something natural. Also some say that a child cannot really consent into having sex .That is right. A child cannot consent to taking a bath or going to sleep when its bed-time either. So the question is not if the child can consent or not, the question is if its good for the child or not.
Pederasty is something necessary for a good upbringing of a child. It is something natural and was universal before the Church and the State repressed it. So why should we keep repressing the act of pederasty and prosecute pedophiles ? Why should we keep outlawing something beneficial to today’s society? It is time that we wake up and fight for a society without sexual taboos and with sexual freedom. For all !
