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!
