Talk:Child sexuality

I have reverted the parts of the article which were vandalized by another user, and I have included references when appropriate to Wikipedia articles as instructed to by Etenne. I would appreciate if articles I create would no longer be vandalized by that user. User4 (talk) 23:35, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Where it says, "research has demonstrated" this requires a source. --Etenne (talk) 09:40, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

"A child's sexuality primarily surfaces during and after puberty, though some elements of it may appear before"

This is a very poorly written sentence. From a child development POV, children are born "sexual" which is what allows them to bond with the parent. Babies need close physical contact with their primary care giver or it could lead to attachment disorders later in life. Sex play with other children (which is also now labeled as abuse) is also a normal and natural part of childhood development.http://www.ncsby.org/content/overview-and-definitions What most people fail to understand is that when talking about childhood sexuality is that it doesn't necessarily equate to what adults consider as sex. Or in other words, the sex that they have is age appropriate. The studies and literature of the pre-sexual hysteria era esp. of the late 1960s and 70s is more insightful and less biased then the current studies that must adhere to today's standards or face significant sanctions --Etenne 22:12, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
