There are no parallels

Drinking, smoking, and marijuana involve providing boys with toxins that they don't naturally have access to. For sex play, they were born with exactly what they require. Driving, voting, contracts, and medical consent, require knowledge or skills. Sexual contact, on the other hand, is instinctive, and follows a purely hedonistic pleasure principle. There is absolutely no knowledge or skill required. If something is pleasurable, then it is continued. If it is not pleasurable, then it is stopped. Past pleasure leads to seeking further pleasure, and inventing new ways to achieve pleasure. Where do they get the money to gamble with? I guess we played marbles for keepsies and pitched pennies. What's the problem with that? It provides experience involving risk and rewards. I always knew that Santa was just a game that we played along with--just a fantasy character like Superman and Batman. It took me a few more years to realize it was the same about Jesus. But anyway the question should be expanded to involve lying to kids about Jesus, as well as Santa and adoption. Peer passenger laws are rather ironic in comparison to policing sexual behavior. Peer passenger laws recognize that there is more danger when an activity involves equally inexperienced peers. Policing of sexual behavior assumes that there is more danger when someone more experienced is paired with someone less experienced. How does that make sense?
