| | Childhood, Sexuality & Bodyliness |
 | | The fairy tale agrees with the child’s latent sense that its sexuality resides in a forbidden locked chamber (Bluebeard) or in a dormant glass coffin (Sleeping Beauty) or in a golden ball at the bottom of a well (The Frog King). | | | To give troublesome sexuality poetic expression is to sing it and dance it and paint it and sculpt it and act it dramatically. | | | It is thought that the child’s sex education is conducted at a very young age by turning sexual taboo and social repression into an imaginal monster so that the child’s worries become tolerable by being safely projected onto the creature. |

| | Sexual abuse of children denies the safety a child should be able to expect from a trusted adult and replaces honesty and consent with coercion and deceit. | | | Sexual behaviour is the result of the choices we make as human persons who are decision-makers. | | | Sexual intercourse, for example, is an outward and visible expression of love and respect that provides a sense of mutual acceptance and support in the various experiences of life. |

| | THE TRUTH AND MEANING OF HUMAN SEXUALITY |
| | Human love hence embraces the body, and the body also expresses spiritual love.[1] Therefore, sexuality is not something purely biological, rather it concerns the intimate nucleus of the person. | | | "Sexuality is a fundamental component of personality, one of its modes of being, of manifestation, of communicating with others, of feeling, of expressing and of living human love."[15] This capacity for love as self-giving is thus incarnated in the nuptial meaning of the body, which bears the imprint of the person's masculinity and femininity. | | | Through its very nature, the primary generation of a human life in the procreative act must be followed by the secondary generation, whereby parents help their child to develop his or her own personality. |

| | Volume VII: A Case of Hysteria, Three Essays on Sexuality, and Other Works (1901 - 1905) |
| | The germs of sexual impulses are already present in the newborn child and these continue to develop for a time, but are then overtaken by a progressive process of suppression; this in turn is itself interrupted by periodical advances in sexual development or may be held up by individual peculiarities. | | | It is concluded that the whole of the sexual currents have become directed towards a single person in relation to whom they seek to achieve their aims, this then being the closest approximation possible in childhood to the final form taken by sexual life after puberty. | | | The theory of psychical hermaphroditism presupposes that the sexual object of an invert is the opposite of that of a normal person. |

| | Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality, he put forward sexual theories, including his thoughts on the origins and meanings of homosexuality. | | | The beliefs upon which all these theories rested was that the wide range of human sexuality could be understood when reduced to the two component parts of male and female. | | | Since the original theory upon which Freud had based his belief in bisexuality had been disproven, Rado claimed heterosexuality as the only nonpathological outcome of human sexual development. |

| | So, whether your child is mentally retarded, physically disabled, or learning disabled, he or she will one day have a genuine need to learn about sexuality. | | | You may not know how to address your child’s sexual development, and may even feel that since your child is disabled, sexuality education is not something you need to focus on. | | | Teaching your child the correct name of his or her body parts (in a matter-of-fact approach) is important, as it sends the message that sexual organs are not considered taboo. |

| | The Danger of Child Sexuality - an interview with Michel Foucault |
| | This sexuality of the child is a territory with its own geography that the adult must not enter. | | | It could be that the child, with his own sexuality, may have desired that adult, he may even have consented, he may even have made the first moves. | | | In this catagory, of course, are children, who may find themselves at the mercy of an adult sexuality that is alien to them and may well be harmful to them. |

| | Consider a child who has learned to accept his or her sexual feelings and sexual explorations, who feels good about the sexual parts of the body, and who understands that there may be times when an adult may wish to misuse his or her sexuality for adult gains. | | | Consequently, I view child sexual abuse as the misuse of the child's sexuality for adult sexual gratification. | | | The psychologist informed me that he hadn't really discussed any of the child's sexual behaviors (even though the foster parents had observed the compulsive masturbation at home and were also concerned with it), because he saw them as secondary to issues of anger and feelings of violation of trust which need to be resolved first. |

| | Child sexuality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Child sexuality is a complex topic that raises much controversy and a pragmatic way of viewing it in any society is to refer to the legal situation as being a consensus view of public attitudes. | | | In other western countries, child sexuality is frequently a controversial subject, and sexual acts among children and/or juveniles are sometimes seen as wrongful, and responded to with therapy or detention. | | | Sigmund Freud suggested that this was a time of sexual latency, when the healthy child ceased all sexual interest and was vulnerable to trauma if he or she experienced sexuality. |

| | The obvious nature of child sexuality and the attempts by society to deny any expression of that sexuality has led to the emergence of a number of small and unpopular social movements which have advocated the lifting of legal and social taboos surrounding children’s sexuality. | | | While the developmental significance of these experiences is not yet fully known, no anthropologist suggests that societies which not engage in the sexual stimulation of their children suffer adverse cons equences. | | | Public opinion has been shocked by society spokespersons advocating child-to-child and child-to-adult intimacy, even to the point of sexual intercourse if contraceptives are used. |

| | Background Paper: The Matter of Children |
| | The degree to which children accept their parent's crossdressing depends on several factors: the age of the child, their relationship to their parents, the crossdresser's motive for the revelation, and the manner in which the child learns of the behavior. | | | The problem here is that while the child could have a thorough understanding of crossdressing, he or she may not understand the issue of privacy and the need to keep the crossdressing from others who may not understand, e.g. | | | If the parents have decided, for example, that the crossdressing must be a private activity, it would be unwise for the parent to attempt to change that understanding by enlisting the aid of the child. |

| | The Paedophile Impulse |
| | Paedophiles emphasize again and again that sexuality is not the constituent factor in their relationships with children, but rather only one-important, to be sure-among numerous other and not less important ones. | | | The fact is worth noting that paedophile child-adult contacts correspond to parental introductions to sexuality in that they tend to end with the puberty of the child and, in addition, that the paedophile can have equally strong emotional relationships with several children during the same period of time. | | | Paedophile relationships also constitute no inevitable power relationship of the adult over the child: they establish on the contrary a seldom seen camaraderie between the personality of the child and that of the adult, within whose system of reference each takes the other seriously. |

| | Child Abuse Trauma |
| | A child who is the victim of prolonged sexual abuse usually develops low self-esteem, a feeling of worthlessness and an abnormal perspective on sexuality. | | | Child sexual abuse has been reported up to 80,000 times a year, but the number of unreported instances is far greater, because the children are afraid to tell anyone what has happened, and the legal procedure for validating an episode is difficult. | | | The child of five or older who knows and cares for the abuser becomes trapped between affection or loyalty for the person, and the sense that the sexual activities are terribly wrong. |

| | Masculinities, Sexualities and Child Sexual Abuse |
| | Because child sexual abuse is not confined to particular races, classes or ethnicities, this analysis of child sex offending enables an understanding of the sexual behaviour of different types of offenders, from the socially empowered, white, middle-class father to the comparatively less socially powerful homosexual offender, black offender or working-class offender. | | | The recognition of the sexed specificity of child sexual abuse means that it is necessary to ask whether offenders seek to constitute themselves as men through their sexual practices, and whether the lived experience of a sexed male body is important to understanding their sexual behaviour. | | | Arguably, different men will practise different sexualities as a result of their relationships with both socially dominant men and men of their own social backgrounds which means that sexuality can be a site for the reproduction of power for both socially enfranchised and disenfranchised men. |

| | This subordinate power position relationship, between the male berdache partaking in the passive role and, as a result, being the subordinate in hierarchical social relationships lends a legitimizing position for the feminist and queer theorist perspective on the dominant/dominated role in sexuality being mapped directly onto the societies' reaffirmation of their hierarchical status. | | | Those who enter into the life of the berdache upon reaching the age of puberty were also chosen to become so by their parents and, with the support of the community, the child's status was transferred quite easily into this alternate gender. | | | In some cases, the parents of the given child declared their son or in a few instances daughter, a berdache and immediately they began dressed their child in the appropriate entire and instructed her or him to act in the appropriate manner. |

| | Male Sexual Abuse and Homophobia by Kali Munro |
| | To the child, getting an erection or climaxing may feel like one more indication that he "let it happen," or "proof" that he enjoyed it, engulfing him in even more shame, confusion, conflict about his sexuality, and anger toward himself and his body. | | | Because the child respects the abuser, or the abuser is an authority figure (for example, an older brother, father or coach), the child tells himself that the abuse must be okayperhaps even normal. | | | Male-to-male child sexual abuse is equated with gay sex when there is nothing gay about it. |
