Oh because I'm well informed enough to know that when talks about sexual normalization come up there's always going to be at least a few people that think that means normalizing it for very young children. It may seem obvious to you and I, it's not to everyone.

Take for example, this guy:

Normalizing sex is something that needs at least some nuanced discussion about what that means.

Ironically, you're fighting against ideas that were not presented by the OP or in the comments;and, in doing so you brought up the topic that you complain about seeing.

I agree with your position, but the OP was talking about in general society.

Obviously there are edge cases (developmentally challenged people are another example) but, in general, treating sexuality as a taboo subject causes a lot of harms that are not necessary.

I'm getting ahead of the argument and laying out what I think is the reasonable position. I'm not really complaining, just want to make sure everyone is on the same page when it comes being sexually open.

Some well meaning people have damaged kids because they try and push sexuality too young from mistaken notions of what it means to remove the taboos of sexuality.
