Re: Child = prepubescent.

"The best age of consent is 16+ a true child-lover knows and understands that."

LOL.

Clearly you've never had a newly minted 14 year old trying to tell you otherwise.

Both Beatrice and I knew that we'd have to wait for Man's laws. But we both understood that this wasn't the case well before you believe we should've.

( When we first declared our love after months of flirting, we worked up our nerve to ask the other's age. We'd both assumed that the other might be 18 [ asian girls can be hard to estimate. ] We were both off by 4 years in either direction.

It was almost a year later that I found she'd been 14 for less than a month when she told me. )
