	===On models of sexual development===		===On models of sexual development===

	We can also pick up on differing models of childhood sexual development. Western, liberal democratic nations tend to double down on a '''“restrictive, pseudo-subjective”''' (our definition) model, where a denial of knowledge and free choice is presented as being in the best interests of the child. In other words, this is the “freedom” to say “no”, juxtaposed against the complete denial of a right to initiative, or affirmative consent. In the Islamic world, a '''“restrictive, objective”''' model is practiced, particularly on girls. Girls are protected and viewed as property, only becoming viable after menarche and marriage. Boys might occasionally engage in prostitution, or be masturbated by parents in early childhood, but this varies. In non-western cultures, we see primarily liberative philosophies, on a scale from '''“liberative, subjective”''' emancipatory ideals of child-child and inter-generational sex play, thru '''“liberative, adaptive”''' models that emphasize inter-generational sex behaviors congruent with a child’s level of development. In other non western cultures, children may be assigned roles, or initiated in part by the force of an adult – and we describe these as '''“part-objective”''' models of development – again, our own terminology. In many cultures there are taboos, however – tellingly, what those exact taboos are deviates wildly from culture to culture.		We can also pick up on differing models of childhood sexual development.

	<span style="background:#ffd9e5">:"Karsch-Haack, (1901) stated that according to Richard Neuhauss, Hawai’ian “girls of 12 to 14 years are generally virgins no more and acts of impurity of father with daughter are no rarity [...] For infant females in Hawai’i, “milk was squirted into her vagina, and the labia were pressed together (Diamond, 1990). The mons [veneris] was rubbed with kukui (candlenut) oil and pressed with the palm of the hand to flatten it and make it less prominent. The molding continued until the labia did not separate. This chore usually was done by the mother or by an “aunt” [...]”. The buttocks of infants, males more than females, were molded so that they became “rounded and not flat”, also clearly evolving from an aesthetic motive. A “blower” is designated for each male infant, ostensibly to prepare him for subincision of the foreskin: “the penis was blown into daily starting from birth. The blowing was said to loosen and balloon the foreskin [and] continued daily [...] until the young male was 6 or 7”, when penile subincision takes place. Diamond reports: “Individuals of both sexes were expected to initiate and participate in coitus at puberty, although sexual activity, play, instruction, and so forth occurred much earlier. For instance, as part of exploratory play, the young investigated each other’s genitals, and young males and females might masturbate each other heterosexually or homosexually. This activity occurred without adult disapproval, and it was considered to be an introduction to adulthood. Casual intercourse before adolescence was not an uncommon experience for males (Handy and Pukui, 1958) and females (Pukui, Haertig and Lee, 1972)”.</span>		<span style="background:#ffd9e5">:"Karsch-Haack, (1901) stated that according to Richard Neuhauss, Hawai’ian “girls of 12 to 14 years are generally virgins no more and acts of impurity of father with daughter are no rarity<ref>Karsch-Haack, F.
