Why is sexual abuse so harmful to children?

I'm not some kind of pedo-apologists, reality proves that it is infact harmful. I just don't understand it. Given it's only sex and no violence, why is that harmful? How does it work?

The kids are traumatized by it.

Scientist studied the brain of sexual abuse children. There's the brain part that has to do with fear that goes and persists even long after sexual abuse. This would be the equivalent of being scared throughout the day at random times. Sounds really annoying. Also getting verbally bullied or physical is the equivalent of being sexually abuse as a child. I speculate the reason the fear persists is to keep humans for doing anything that would be perceived disadvantageous to their survival so the fear takes extra caution of keeping the danger away.

>>6915203
That is exactly my question

>>6915209
I do realize that. Let me ask in reverse:
If sex is so traumatizing, why don't adults get traumatized?

Fantasy rape is not the same as being held down and actually raped, especially when your rapist is much bigger than you.

>> No.6915227

It's because we wear clothes all the time
The rapist knows it's wrong and that passes onto their victims too
It's all psychological, which implies it's avoidable, but we don't like to talk about nonconsentual sex with minors that doesn't harm them

>> No.6915230

>>6915227
I mean, we really don't want to scientifically predict a method to have unconsentual sex with minors that doesn't harm them. That's not the kind of solution we're looking for: We want to remove the sex part, not the pain part.

>> No.6915232

>>6915217
That's interesting, one step closer at least.
Doesn't really help my understanding of the why though. Do we just no know?

>>6915220
I don't think you can just put violent rape and child sex on the same level. They seem very different to me.

>>6915227
That's an interesting theory. Is there any data to back that up? Or at least something else psychological that works the same way?

>> No.6915242

>>6915232
It seems like most people's idea of harm is when that child expresses affinity and interest towards sexual gratification. Which is like saying "we can tell that child-sex is a problem because it causes child-sex, we have the studies to back this up"

Children dont normally have sexual drive because they are FUCKING CHILDREN so if you have sex with them its not because THEY want to, the only way a child would want sex would be that they ask for it, and even then Im not sure they would understand what they are doing. Touch a dogs balls and see their reaction (specially puppies). Normally they would give you a sad look, just try.

I fantasized about having sex since the age of fucking 6 or 7 and started masturbating furiously at the age of 9. It's either I'm a special snowflake or children do have sexual drive. I've heard similar stories, so I'll assume a minority do have sexual drive.

>>6915277
What if the child wants to have sex? Why punish a 14, 15, 16 or even a 17 year old when he has sex with an older individual that is, let's say, somewhere between 20 and 30.

I'm not implying shit and I do like this idea (Up until the age of 16) because children cannot make rational decisions when it comes to sex.

>Touch a dogs balls and see their reaction
This may be true for dogs, but it is not an accurate analogy for how a child will react at all.
Children can and do experience pleasure, and will even seek it out.

>>6915242
I get that and it does make logical sense in a theoretical fashion. I do however need some real life evidence to support that, otherwise I can't believe it.

>>6915261
I get that, but I don't find that explanation satisfactory. Kids have to do a lot of things they either don't want to do or don't understand why they have to do them. Usually no trauma.

>>6915277
Sexual abuse doesn't have to be violent to qualify as sexual abuse.

>>6915281
I don't either, that's why I asked.

Use common sense dude. If someone put their penis in you without your consent it would be harmful psychologically.

Exactly, despite your age if you dont want to be touched it would be harmfull

ohhh so you're saying it has nothing to do with them being children and it's all to do with how the child/person is approached by the proposition of sex. Maybe they should update the laws to reflect this then.

>> No.6915350

>>6915343
Children are always treated more specially. If an adult felt the same amount of pain as a child, the child will be overreacted towards and taken care of more by the rest of society. It's pretty much the mere fact that they're children that makes it special, alongside the fact they're children, of course.
