[edit] Sexualization or Desexualization?
Do kids naturally stop being sexual as they grow up before becoming sexual again during puberty or is it society that repress those types of behaviors on kids until eventually they can't be influenced as much anymore and just return to their natural state? In other words, has it been identified why kids on early age do sexual things, then stop, and then start again? And when people say kids are getting sexualized, do we know if kids are being pushed towards that more strongly or just being pulled away more weakly? --TiagoTiago (talk) 05:01, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
- Freud noted in his psychosexual development theory that there is what he termed a 'latency' period from the age of 6 (roughly) to the onset of puberty. While people have mixed feelings about Freud's theory and many outright reject it, the behavior itself is still plainly observable, and it is a largely biological process from my understanding. As to the second issue, I am not clear what you mean. Are you talking about the changes in culture in this day and age vs. previous ones? Or the general subject of "premature sexualization" (such by exposure to sexual material or abuse)?Legitimus (talk) 15:04, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
