What are not our goals

Our goals do not include legalization of sexual activities with children, lowering the age of consent, establishing registered partnerships or marriages with children or excusing sexual offenses against children.

We don't want legalization of sex with children

We are aware of the negative consequences sexual contacts with children can have. We definitely don't want to harm children. We acknowledge differences in maturity between adults and children and we agree children need special protection. Though most of us feel the desire for sexual contact with children, we believe we need to respect the best interests of everyone concerned. The desires we have don't give us the right to have sexual contact with children. In summary, we don't want to have sex with children nor do we call for its legalization or lowering the age of consent.

We don't want child marriages

We definitely don't call for the legalization of child marriages. It is clear to us that children aren't mature enough to make such an important decision as getting married is. We are aware of the great risk of abuse of such marriages. We acknowledge that children don't feel erotic attraction and affection in the way adults do. Young adolescents don't have enough experience with relationships and cannot judge whether a potential partner is a person they would like to live with in the long term. We condemn the practice of child marriage which still exists in some countries. We find such a practice completely unacceptable.
