Whether through personal experience, ideals or a combination of the two, we firstly assume that anyone reading this guide has passionately held beliefs about the issues contained therein. When applied to intergenerational sex, this passion is easily dulled by fear of personal attacks and a lack of confidence. This guide aims to instil confidence and zeal in its readers’ point of view by endowing them with the arguments, certainties, sources and tips that would be available to a proponent of more popular minority point of view - Homosexual or Secular for example. Debate Guide is therefore intended to be a text for liberation, in a movement that sorely needs it.

When reading, it is important to note that this guide is not 100% a means to an end, in debating this issue. Ideally, readers should change the words and arguments to suit their own opinions and understandings, using their initiative where they feel that it will benefit them. One must adequately 'culture' their argument, making sure that it represents coherent, joined up thinking that all readers (including oneself) can understand. To espouse an argument that one cannot defend is nothing but folly. Readers should also remember, that although the guide is streamed into sections, valid material for many topics and debates can be found in any section, and elsewhere on the wiki.

As for finding an “audience”, our message is simple. The debater will not get anywhere by “arguing” with people who are unreasonable and set in their way. Those hours of typing will only be worthwhile if the writer is covering the complex, yet enlightening issues listed on our site, and getting maximum “viewing figures”. Don't just be right; be heard and be effective. Given this multiplier effect, a job well done is all the more important. Therefore…

An introduction

Welcome to Debate Guide - the comprehensive guide for online debates on sexual attractions and relations between minors and adults.

Over 20 years ago now, this guide was first published by Daniel, a debater on secular-rationalist fora, to document the many distortions and logical fallacies common to arguments about Minor Attracted People. It was the first of its kind, and perhaps unsurprisingly, few have attempted to imitate it!

Our aim is to give you the confidence to speak out and be heard.

In other words, if you see an argument on social media or online forums that looks uncanny, you will probably find the appropriate response here, accompanied by sources.

However, please note, this guide is not 100% a means to an end. As someone who uses the guide, you need to be an active reader. Active readers will modify our advice to suit their own style, using initiative where they feel it will benefit them. We will try to link to relevant research and encyclopedic content where appropriate.

Lastly, it should be noted that since this guide has been designed to help people of many persuasions, you might find yourself agreeing with some of its content, and disagreeing with other parts. So see it as a toolkit, and not a manifesto.

Happy Reading!
