Does this touch on allowing sex play between pre-pubescent kids? I don't mean adults or post-pubescent teens, I mean like 6 & 7 year olds for instance playing "house" or "Dr."
I've read conflicting stories about studies on those behaviors with some saying they're perfectly normal aping of adult behavior and help shape healthy sexuality among kids and others saying it's dangerous and abusive and has to be stopped.
Some of the first have contradicted the second by saying putting a harsh "full stop" to it (and even more so on normal exploration like kids touching themselves) leads to more unhealthy sexuality as adults.
Like I said, not asking for anything to do with adults and kids, just wondering about boundaries for kids themselves.
