We have recently seen an effort to change the way pedophiles are perceived: to show that they are not all bad people; that in fact many "ethical pedophiles" exist, who feel sexual attraction for children but do not act on it.
We've also seen efforts made to alter the perception of pedophilia, attempting to reclassify it from a perversion to a kind of sexual orientation. (Much like homosexuality.)
Eventually, someone is bound to explore the other side of this coin — namely: Are sexual relationships between children and adults necessarily always harmful? Might there be evidence that such relationships can in fact be beneficial?
Some researcher/expert will manage to find people who say they had sexual experiences with adults when they were kids, and have not only not experienced any trauma or other negative repercussions as a result, but they found their experiences to enjoyable and enriching, contributing positively overall to their lives.
We will see the attempt to draw a line between sexual abuse — where a child is subjected unwillingly to sexual activity, often accompanied by terror, threats, and other kinds of physical harm — and a loving, gentle sexual relationship, where children can safely engage in sex play with trusted grownups.
It is the former, we will be told, which is destructive and hurtful to children.
Then some forward-thinking genius will postulate: If pedophiles were provided with a safe, supervised outlet for their desires, it could do a lot to reduce or even eliminate so-called "child molestation" and child sex abuse. It would have a beneficent impact not only on the lives of individual pedos and kids, but for society as a whole.
Happily, I don't think things will progress too far beyond that point. Articles will be written, efforts will be made, and certain individuals will devote a great deal of time and energy toward the cause, but I don't think we will ever see widespread acceptance of pedophilia and adult-child sex — for the simple reason that any society that were to accept this as normal, or even as remotely acceptable, would be a society so far gone morally and intellectually, it would be virtually (if not literally) collapsing in ruins.
