Template:Debate Guide:Arguments about adult-minor relationships
- Problems with the Age of Consent
- Nonhuman relatives - Other species' adult-juvenile sexuality.
- Historical Nonadult-Adult sex
- All child molesters are pedophiles
- Against: Power disparity - Differences in power are not automatically inductive to abuse.
- Against: Intrinsic harm - The belief that harm is intrinsic to adult-minor sexuality is demonstrably false.
- Against: It's wrong because it's illegal - Homosexuality was once illegal.
- Against: Sexual inexperience - Experience is not a necessity. We all start inexperienced.
- Against: Profound and lifelong scarring - These characteristics are atypical, often a result of culture and nonconsensual sex.
- Against: "Stranger danger" or "It could be anyone" - These two conflicting "expert" opinions are both unfounded and abused to incite fear.
- Against: If we could only save one child - Negative utilitarianism is discredited and nonsensical meta-ethics.
