Regarding this academic paper (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0005789405800395): To me the OP study is common sense, but has become perhaps politically incorrect or taboo to acknowledge. Once children hit puberty, their bodies start to become able to reproduce and thus start to become attractive for reproduction. Presumably then the study is conflating postpubescent adolescents with prepubescent children and calling all of these “children” which it is “wrong” for adults to feel attracted to, except that basically our biology hasn’t changed while societal norms have shifted to tell people to wait to older ages to reproduce. Regarding attraction of prepubescent children in “normal” men, either this could be because the children are made to look like adults or thought to be like adults. This one I can’t wrap my head around as much and would need more information to be able to respond to the study. At least in my experience, I felt pretty “adult” at a young age once I hit puberty and was attracted to those my age and older who were in probably in their 20s and 30s of the opposite gender. Mostly the issue here is about having teens wait a bit to be able to become mature enough to sustain a family. I suspect “age of consent” discussions are a bit of a distraction, or a necessity for legal considerations, but I felt able to “consent” to certain actions at a young age but wouldn’t have been mature enough to take care of a family. Thus there is a gap between base biology and the skill of the intellect. Also society is literally degenerate and unable to bring up young people to be skilled and productive at young ages which complicates the discussion. There are some exceptional students graduating college as teens or preteens for example, which to me attests to the actual capabilities of teens or preteens. But society sometimes “infantilizes” adolescents in to adulthood, perhaps underestimating their capabilities, and this is spilling over in to thinking of teens up to age 18 as “innocent children”. At least when I was a teenager, I was pretty aware of a lot of bad things I could do. But lots of people mature at different rates, so we try to take averages to accommodate some people maturing at younger and older rates. Anyway, the OP study is a bit ambiguous on what they consider “children” to be and what they did to establish that “normal” people were attracted to “children”.
