I agree that your grandparents were perfectly normal and decent, Don.
It’s amazing that throughout most of human history, people began having sex shortly after beginning puberty (with individual variation, others starting each year after that)…
… that our foundational religions: Judaism and Christianity sex was practiced at or around that time, and that even Mary alleged mother of Jeus would have married between 13 and 15…
… and people still begin having sex at that age to this age…
… however, they are disuaded from marrying because we need more education now than we used to…
… and somehow now it is a great evil if a person begins having sex sometime around puberty.
I didn’t. I was almost 19. I’ve also known people who had sex at 12 and they’re fine. I know someone who was raped at 11 and she was destroyed. It really depends on the situation.
Why, I ask Christians, is God so incredibly incompetent he made puberty at a young age if we’re not to have sex for 5-10 years after it? Is that reasonable?
Why I ask secularists if every mammal on the planet has sex shortly after puberty, is it immoral for us to do so?
Was Don’s grandfather really a pervert? Was his grandmother a brazen hot-to-trot little hussy?
Or… were they normal and our modern society — with massive premarital sex and STDs and abortions and 50-60% divorce rate — the one which has forgotten what life is about?
Which is, incidentally, largely love, sexual attraction, marriage, and the desire to have and raise children?
And that desire doesn’t necessarily begin at age 25.
I don’t expect any kind of logical or intellectually honest answer most people. I’m just posing it rhetorically.
