These pages present a collection of scientific research and other demonstrative references on matters relevant to minor sexuality.
Key Social Concepts
- Secondary Harm: Does social interpretation of adult-minor sex create or compound the harm attributed to it?
- Sexual Repression: Can sexual neglect and desexualization cause harm?
- Family Environment: Do family factors associated with 'CSA' inflate the negative effects reported in most studies of it?
In Relation to the Child
- Childhood Sexual Innocence: Is the cultural hypothesis of innate sexual "innocence" supported by the literature?
- Cognitive Ability: At what age do young people develop certain abilities, qualities, and is there a "peak"?
In Relation to the Child's Older Partner
- Abused-Abuser: Is the idea that "abused" children go on to perpetrate empirically sound?
- Immaturity: Are the adult partners retarded or lacking in intelligence?
Anthropology and Zoology
- Intergenerational Sexual Behaviors in Animals: Does sex between juveniles and adults occur in other species?
- Intergenerational Relationships in History: Is adult-child sex culturally and historically ubiquitous?
- Nonwestern Intergenerational Relationships: How do nonrepressive tribal societies conceptualise their relationships?
In Relation to Minor-Attraction
- Cognitive Distortion: Is the evidence for a significant degree of distortion in the beliefs of pedophiles sound?
- Child Pornography: What is the nature of child pornography, and the effect of its use?
- Psychopathy and abnormal Psychology: Are the prevailing assertions about minor-attracted persons supported in the population?
