What contact stance are you?

🌸

It’s more complicated than a stance. Ideally pro-c because kids are smart capable humans that can understand things if you let them and pro-c is part of respecting them as people. But the societal conditions makes kids very vulnerable and even artificially stunted. So it’s currently pretty dangerous and irresponsible to risk harm caused by the world. I think there are some cases contact can be relatively safe

Something else to add is the stigma of being a pedophile is so great that I think the adult really should be very accepting of their sexuality and who they are and well versed in youthlib and ideally within a community that supports those relationships, if they were to engage with a child. While the imposed shame and common misinformed beliefs exist, they run the risk of simply fetishizing the child. But really all of this should be a decision between the adult and child and when it does happen in the real world that is going to be my attitude about it
