This meta-analysis: Worldwide Secular Trends in Age at Pubertal Onset Assessed by Breast Development Among Girls. A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/article-abstract/2760573 found three studies with US-girls who were measured after the year 2000. Those girls entered puberty typically with 9 years: Susman et al. (2010): 9.9 years „White“ – 9.1 years „Black“ Biro et al. (2013): 9.6 years „White“ – 8.8 years „Black“ – 9.2 years „Hispanic“ – 9.9 years „Asian“ Cabreara et al. (2014): 9.8 years „white“ – 9.4 years „Black“ – 9.6 years „Hispanic“ After that publication I guess it is impossible that the next „DSM“-„pedophilia“-definition (if there will be such a defintion) will once again define prepubertal children as „generally age 13 years or younger“. They really have a problem now. Good! There will be very interesting discussions in sexual "science" in the next years about the mental construct with the name "pedophilia". |
