:::Yeah, but what can I do. It's in my nature to defend liberty by posting commentary about my ideas, and to put those ideas into practice when I can and when there's even the slightest chance of getting away with it. I refuse to allow such an opportunity to pass by, merely because I was afraid of persecution being inflicted on me or others.

:::Oberon writes, with regard to [http://theshatteredpan.org/wiki/Essay:I_don%27t_think_I_was_molested_or_raped_at_nine my wife's comments], "Let me say it takes courage to say what Augustine said about her sexual encounter at nine. I have told Nate that at twelve I went looking for an older sexual partner and found one. I was the initiator of our sexual encounter and do not see myself as abused or damaged goods in any way. I wish someone would have taken me by the hand at ten or younger. I would not have wanted to be forced but if they had my concern in mind and wished to show me pleasure, I do not think I would have had a problem with discovering sex a few years earlier with someone more knowledgeable. Good for you, Augustine. I have always said 'Rape is rape' and 'Rape is wrong' but not all sex is rape. Sex is one of those things that everyone overreacts to. They get the idea that it is dirty or wrong when it is not, so it is easy to go alone with finger pointing and blaming when there should be no need to. Things will not change, I believe, until more people stand up and say 'I was not abused; all I had was sex and it was not wrong or dirty, no matter if I was nine, ten, twelve, or whatever age, as long as I wanted to do it.' I hope you gave someone else the courage to say the same. There should be a 'I was not abused' website for people to post their positive or at least non-negative sexual encounters with older people." | :::Oberon writes, with regard to [http://theshatteredpan.org/wiki/Essay:I_don%27t_think_I_was_molested_or_raped_at_nine my wife's comments], "Let me say it takes courage to say what Augustine said about her sexual encounter at nine.

:::In order for people to speak out in the way he describes, there has to be an older person introducing them to these experiences. Who am I refrain from making that happen, with the consent of the persons involved? Far be it from me to get in the way of progress, or to be a bystander when I had the opportunity to intervene in a positive way.
