The age of consent/marriage: Why the age of consent needs to be raised

Many parents believe that the age of consent is already 18. This is the case in some states, but not others. Here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the age of majority is 16, which is embarrassingly low. I myself am a pedophile, and I don't want a child, even at age 16, and if I do, my self-entitlement in the manner makes me unable to have an informed opinion on the topic. But, I sure do have an opinion, and believe as a Christian that the age of consent should be raised to 18, with no same-in-age exemptions.

The Greek root word denoting fornication and sexual immorality is πορνεία (Latin: porneia) and refers to anything outside of proper channels, as understood then. The age of consent/marriage in biblical times sat at the age of majority. Those ages are quite low, and that is why God did not include that context in the text of the Bible. It would have worked then, but not now, due to the complexities of life.

Part of proper channels is that a marriage should be between two adults in the same place of life. In the biblical context, this was applied as the man being required, in most cases by the Law, to marry someone precisely his age or older. I myself apply the Law precisely like that, and if a woman is younger than me, I turn her down immediately. 

I myself am single and celibate. That means that I am not allowed sexual relations with anyone. Even if a woman is bare naked in front of me, I must wait until later, when I can masturbate the attraction off. In my case, it would be a young girl that wears a swimsuit to the beach, in which case I'd love to get with her, but God wouldn't be too proud of me for doing that. Sexual relations outside of marriage is an act of self-defilement, meaning it is uncleanness. The only way to purify myself is to have a change of heart, and turn away from sexual sin.

I support pedophiles, to be clear, but only because most of them are non-offending. Most pedophiles offend out of ignorance, meaning they don't know how to relate to a child any other way. They need to have drilled into them why they can't have what they want, and if they do, in fact, do the deed with the child, they should be held legally accountable. Currently, the secular authorities excuse mentally disabled abusers, even though many of their survivors are very angry at individuals with autism. Most pedophiles with autism don't go around harassing young girls. I actually did approach young girls for sexual or flirtatious reasons, in the most obvious of ways, and nobody cared because I held the title of "autistic", which is the new excuse for everything.

I support, as an alternative to sexual relations with children, a concept known as righteous masturbation. The Greek root word denoting lust and inordinate passions is έπιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, but to sexual entitlement. Sexual entitlement is defined as, officially speaking, sexual want, to the point of sexually motivated approach. This word refers ultimately to a craving that compels the adult to approach a child for sexual or flirtatious reasons. In the Early Church, righteous masturbation was how adults stopped themselves from sexually abusing children. Adults would follow the sexual desire to the end using masturbatory fantasy. Most fathers today don't indulge in fantasies pertaining to their parent attraction, and then it comes out sideways because they repressed their sexual fantasies. The only way out is out - righteous masturbation is a normal way to purge yourself of unrequited parent or adult attraction to children. Child sexual abusers are not helpless beings who simply made a mistake. There were things long before their offense that they could have done to prevent themselves from sexually abusing a child. If you refuse to masturbate to any sexual thought, you refuse to acknowledge it, thus repressing the sexual desires towards children. Once your sexual thoughts are repressed on the sleep/wake cycle, you are officially a rapist. There is really something an adult can do to avoid raping or sexually assaulting children. 

Adults have an individual responsibility to keep their risk towards children in check, and that includes facing any intrusive sexual thoughts about children head on. The only way to face the thoughts head on is to acknowledge them through masturbatory fantasy. Most adults have some attraction to children under the age of 18. Even with a woman, they can easily become attracted to an older adolescent child, usually for traumatic reasons, meaning children are less threatening than adult men. Both men and women have risk in relation to children. All adults, without exception, are capable of the worst forms of child abuse under the right/wrong condition. We all, as adults, should pitch in by admitting that we too are capable of the worst, by gauging when we would abuse a child, and avoiding those conditions. Parents are the most capable of child sexual abuse, with over 80% of sexual abusers being parents.

There is no need to decriminalize the sexual abuse of children. Yet, a naive group of people known as "defend the criminals" want to defend me as a pedophile, and lump me in with their criminal agenda. Most pedophiles are the last people to abuse a child. Most sexual abusers aren't pedophiles, but instead are sexually entitled adults acting on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Decriminalizing child sexual abuse only harms pedophiles, since many pedophiles have experienced child sexual abuse just for being pedophiles. I support locking adults up for the abuse of pedophiles, and I support extending the police for the defense of pedophilic children especially. Children can be pedophiles, and can be formally diagnosed by the age of 16. Don't children deserve protection from abuse, even if that abuse is directed towards the child's pedophilic condition? Defending the criminals who happen to be pedophiles makes it that much harder for pedophilic children in particular to be understood and included in broader society. I myself am instead in the camp "no medical excuse" in pro-pedophile stance, meaning that pedophiles can be open about their condition in any way other than a medical excuse for abuse or crime.

Most pedophiles do not support "defend the criminals", which aims to lower the age of consent to zero, on behalf of an unpopular yet vocal group of pedophiles. The argument is that "they can't help it". The "defend the criminals" crew tells a sob story on behalf of pedophiles, promising us pedophiles help we don't need or want. The age of consent is going nowhere, but pedophiles are going nowhere either. Pedophilia is not a class of criminal. A pedophile is an individual suffering from a mental health disorder. I may have done things myself that could be considered sexual harassment, but I don't want to be defended because of it. "Defend the criminals" is a self-entitlement group, and I don't support my own self-entitlement even, meaning I don't really want what I want. 

The depraved and decadent, defiled adults who rape or sexually assault children will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them descend into torrents of Hell-fire prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Repent!
