Why are adults expected to desexualize kids?

It should go without saying that virtually nobody would actually believe such an absurdity if they really thought about it, and that the insanely broad brush has been procured to protect companies against legal and social censure. But I do think there are a lot of people who believe preteens are entirely asexual. They could hardly be more wrong.
