It is indeed better not to jump from a high roof; not today and not tomorrow. That is a reality that will not change. But that has nothing to do with our view on sex, which has already changed many times in different periods and (sub)cultures.

The opinion that sex is only - under certain conditions - good for couples has been a western reality because we have determined it so culturally.
In the 1960s a new reality emerged in the western culture because we realized that gay sex is allright. But sex with children remained a taboo. There are several reasons for that. One of the main reasons is that people still believe sex is bad for children. That has a lot to do with our ideas about what sex is and what it is for.

Homosexuality became acceptable because we came to realize that it is harmless and even the church reluctantly accepted it. There were demonstrable reasons why we came to think that there is nothing wrong with sex between men. Even the AIDS epidemic could do little to change that. It became the new reality. Pedosex was not included. So that became our new reality. It can change again if we realize that pedosexuality is not bad at all.

The question remains why did adult gay sex become acceptable, but pedosex not. The answer lies in the prevailing belief that sex with a child is bad for the child's development. This belief has to do with an outdated view of the meaning of sex and sexuality. Only when we can erase this misconception a new reality can emerge in which the taboo on free sex can disappear.
