How low is one parent who would be okay with allowing their 10-year-old to touch another child, regardless of age, regardless of mutual attraction and pre-teenage pubescent development? Masturbation is one thing, but exploring it with another child is another. I'm not saying parents should "freak out" if they happen to "catch" their child with another, but it should be known that _it is not okay._ Children that have recently reach puberty are quite capable of creating other children, but are they ready for the responsibility and physical strain of growing and raising one child?

STDs, pregnancy, rejection, the want to seek happiness through sex are the results of finding out too much too young. Those that I've known who "fooled around" at too young an age who thought that if they felt physically good, then that was true happiness and couldn't understand why their partner left when the orgasm was over, and the condom in the trash can.

"This is an opportunity for women to have one theatre experience together, and it's therefore fun," she said. ... |
