Are we not just fighting nature here? Surely, if so, we are bound to lose?
'Civilisation' has extended childhood, indeed we are still doing it, keeping children longer and longer in school, perhaps in most cases it is for the better, most people would agree that a young girl reaching puberty should not become the prey of sick older men.
Puberty itself however brings with it the complication that the urges are very strong and without much effort almost any young girl and boys of similar age are willing to experiment, not because they have necessarily had a bad upbringing but because that is the way our basic instincts are. If everyone looked back and then was honest, what a traumatic time that was and in actual fact it doesn't take much for the thin veneer of civilised behaviour to be swept to one side and beggar the consequences.
Sterilisation? What happens about the poor girl that is temporarily sterilised and perhaps would have resisted her basic instincts but when she reaches our version of maturity then finds that for her this form of contraception has left her completely sterile
for ever?
