Again, you’re making a false equivancy. We do lots of things that feel good. They feel good because they are, within moderation, good for us.

Eating feels good. Should we not nourish ourselves? Breastfeeding feels good. Should I not feed my child? Hobbies feel good. Should we not create? Singing and dancing feel good. Should we not enjoy music and dance? Movement feels good. Should we not exercise, work, and walk our dogs? Water feels good. Should we not bathe? Watching things grow feels good. Should we not invest in the future?

We are designed to pursue things that feel good. Your position assumes that things that feel good to you are inherently at the expense of someone else and therefore girls enjoying their sexual sexual selves is dangerous. It is not. We have sex because it feels good, but there are other benefits beyond procreation. It is a key factor to our survival as a species. In binds us together as a cooperative species.

It’s not “leading boys on”. Males enjoy sex too. They benefit from it as well; it’s not some psychological punishment inflicted upon them. Consent and context matter.

Further, males don’t actually have to be present for girls to enjoy their sexual selves. Females don’t have to be present for boys to enjoy their sexual selves. One does not even have to be actively having sex to enjoy your sexual self.

It’s nothing to fear and nothing to hate so long as you keep it healthy and within the bounds of consent.

This article was focused on one point in time, the first conversation of many, to a small child on the road to maturity, including sexual maturity. Believe me, there will be other discussions, including appropriateness, moderation, and safety. That’s over this kid’s head right now, he/she is too young to understand. Talk things out your way, too much too soon, and the kid will end up hating himself/herself and his/her body. How is that good for anyone?
