My friend, I recently heard of a stir caused by a debate on whether giving a 12 year old a dildo is a crime or not? I was taken aback since I would never imagine such thing existing in our lives. It was something that I simply couldn’t wrap my head around. After a while, I started to really think about it. Was it really a crime?
Well, after doing some research on it and talking to some people, I had a better understanding of the issue. As per the legal standpoint, the answer would basically depend on the context. If it was supplied out of experience, teaching sex dolls education etc. then it is not a crime, but if it’s given out of pure malice and ill intent then definitely it would be a crime.
However, I feel that it’s a highly subjective topic and there are other aspects to this too. Giving a young kid a dildo could be a result of either misguided effort, lack of accurate information or because the adult is violating the basic laws of society. In this case it’s not a crime but rather a desperate effort of the adult to breach a taboo.
From the side of the parents, I can feel their frustration. If they’re even in the situation where they have to discuss such an taboo topic with their children, it would make it terribly daunting for them. But one thing is sure, if parents really don’t provide the right kind of education, there’s risk that the kid will learn it from the wrong sources.
At the end, I feel it’s the need of the hour that parents have more open dialogues with their kids about such taboo topics. It could be uncomfortable but if done in the right way, it can be truly beneficial; as it will lead to an improved understanding of the topic and better decision making. Plus, such awkward conversations with kids are essential for a healthy relationship.
The debate about giving a 12 year old a dildo is a very complex one. That’s why it’s also important to consider the kind of society we’re living in and the physical, mental and emotional maturity of the 12 year old. Keeping those factors in mind would surely help to make the right decision.
Apart from that, one should also keep in mind that kids can get access to almost anything these days; and if they get exposed to such taboo topics without enough knowledge and awareness, it can have disastrous consequences. Thus, in order to prevent that, parents should take a proactive approach and start such conversations with their kids at an early age.
Therefore, I think it’s really important to have the right dialogue with the kid and provide the right kind of awareness while making sure that the decision is also moral and legal. And dildos in the end, both the parties should come up with a solution that can provide peace of mind to the parents and also the security and safety of the kid.
