Why does nobody ever consider the possibility that the reason children feel traumatized by having sex with adults is because of society's negative reaction towards it?
For example, lets say a 60 year old man dates a 12 year old girl. They both like each other and have sex together. Eventually her parents or someone else finds out about their relationship. The man either goes to prison or gets beaten and tortured to death by a group of people (this happens a lot in third world countries).
Even though the girl agreed to having sex with him, she eventually notices that he is being severely punished for having sex with her. She begins to feel like she was a victim of sexual abuse and becomes distressed and laters view the relationship negatively.
Why does nobody ever think that this is the reason why children are traumatized by having sex with adults? Most people think that the adult is more mature and experienced than the child so this causes the child to become traumatized, but this doesnt really make sense.
