If consent was based on memory, people with dementia would not be capable of consent either. I regard that particular issue as irrelevant.PorcelainLark wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2026 11:57 pmAh, I was thinking of the stuff about memory.DANAT4T wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2026 11:42 pm The 7th option references bathroom etiquette which is a social construct.
What I meant is that I don't know if there is anything risky about an infant/toddler having an orgasm, even though they occasionally happen. I know that orgasms are normal long before puberty, but I do not know if they are unsafe before a certain (5? 2?) age, as I do not recall seeing positive/neutral experiences of orgasm that young (an alternative explanation is that they would forget).PorcelainLark wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2026 11:30 pm I can only base it on my experience, but I would expect the ability to have an orgasm isn't contingent on whether you've reached puberty.
I had firsthand experience with self-induced orgasms when I was 5 that were positive, repeated relatively frequently when I had the chance and felt like it, and didn't seem to cause any harm. I could have been 4 or 3 and have memories of those, I don't really remember a time when I didn't, but time gets blurry that far back and the most time-specific memory I have is of worrying about being caught at school.Learning to undeny wrote: Tue Mar 10, 2026 12:44 amWhat I meant is that I don't know if there is anything risky about an infant/toddler having an orgasm, even though they occasionally happen.

Fair enough, but the changes in the brain between 2 and 3 regarding memory wouldn't be a social construct from my perspective. I think I've argued before that it's the most significant change; from 4 onwards the changes in the brain are mostly incrimental/gradual, the major jump is between 2 and 3.DANAT4T wrote: Tue Mar 10, 2026 12:25 am If consent was based on memory, people with dementia would not be capable of consent either.

Makes sense. I used to think of it like spice receptors and children: since flavors are stronger, they might be more overwhelming to children.Learning to undeny wrote: Tue Mar 10, 2026 12:44 am What I meant is that I don't know if there is anything risky about an infant/toddler having an orgasm, even though they occasionally happen.

I was thinking similar to you except I placed it much higherTheHamilplexOfficial wrote: Tue Mar 10, 2026 11:24 am 0-2 for learning consent but 3-5 for contact
consent should be one of the first things that someone learns, either thru their parents or at school (with good sex education as well because that is important and they should know what they're consenting to at age 3-4 because thats when they can make memories and remember stuff)
as long as they understand what'll happen, how to say "I want to stop doing this" and "I want to do this" then contact is fine

Have you forgot the risk of pregnancy STDs and learning about consent itself? Like I said if I'm pushed I can lower it from 13 to 11.5 but most children below 9-10 don't have a proper libido.They'll won't find anything strongly attractive but will still find anything potentially attractive because they lack hormones that put them in erotic mental states. This can lead to people taking of them.DANAT4T wrote: Wed Mar 11, 2026 1:23 pmThere is only one type of sex education that I approve of.TheHamilplexOfficial wrote: Tue Mar 10, 2026 11:24 am 0-2 for learning consent but 3-5 for contact

Compulsory education is an immoral practice endorsed by the corporate elite. I mean actually lecturing children about sex, give me a break, boring. It all keeps the failed system of representative democracy in place.zarkle wrote: Wed Mar 11, 2026 3:28 pmHave you forgot the risk of pregnancy STDs and learning about consent itself?

When tanner stage 4 is puberty is done averaging 12-14, that is when one can say they are a biological adult with a strong libido capable with all mature behaviors like regular instead instead of ocassional periods. The best way to think of puberty is a bunch of components developing independently and 12-13 for girls and 13-14 for boys is when all systems are up and going.
So why not 13 AoC on both genders? That's already off the charts radical in most of the world today, but at least it has solid biological arguments unlike 18 AoC which is clearly the standard due to the public school systems average graduation deparature date.
I consider myself an anarchist too and want to rid the world from any coercion that goes against a person's will.DANAT4T wrote: Wed Mar 11, 2026 5:14 pmCompulsory education is an immoral practice endorsed by the corporate elite.

If someone knows how to engage in sex, then they know the consequences of pregnancy and STDs.
You say children don't have full sex drive before 9, complete bulls**t.
Trust me, trying to appease the educated elites, is nonsense. Lucky that I have a lower than average sex drive. It must be torture for MAPs having to wait to their 13, if they have high sex drive.
Next you be telling me that climate change is real.
But hey, what do I know, I am only anarchist scum.
