Never letting them grow up

[mrlolicon93]

If it was possible to prevent kids from growing up into adults would you prevent them from growing up?

[lightseeker]

My body, my choice. Their body, their choice. Who am I to decide for someone else? If our choices go in a similar direction, be it so.

What would give me that right?

If they don't want to grow up, I might help them achieve that aim. If it was someone I was romantically involved with, it would definitely be appealing to me.

But if they want to grow up, then that's their choice and their right.

My feelings exactly, it would make some things easier, but would not want to force it on a kid.

This is a tough one. I think it should be their choice. But I should also say that while I was a young teen, I was so ready to grow up and be an adult. Before reaching my teens, I never thought about it. But now, as an adult, I really miss being a kid. It is pretty complicated I would have to say.

... while I was a young teen, I was so ready to grow up and be an adult. Before reaching my teens, I never thought about it.

I never perceived myself as older than 15 and I would like to stay 15 years old.

Nero castrated little Sporus to prevent him from becoming a man:

He castrated a boy named Sporus and tried to transform him into a woman. He married him with all the usual formalities, took him to his house attended by a great crowd, and treated him as his wife. It was even said that he called him by the name of his former wife, and that he used to kiss him in public.

— Suetonius

Nero missed Poppaea so greatly after her death that when he learned of a woman who resembled her, he first sent for her and kept her; but later he found a boy, Sporus by name, who also resembled her.

He castrated him and tried to make him a woman. He used him in every way like a wife, and, taking him to Greece and then back to Rome, he went through a kind of marriage with him. He gave him a dowry in due form and had a bridal veil put upon him.

The marriage was celebrated publicly, and the people of Rome looked on at the spectacle. Nero called Sporus by Poppaea’s name, and it was said that he never ceased to lament Poppaea, though he had himself killed her.
