Kids sexualizing kids is not good. Statutory rape laws exist for a reason.

Isn't statutory rape about a minor and nonminor, not two minors?

Just for clarity I'm not advocating for letting kids having sex with each other. I'm saying that it's normal for kids have crushes and feel attracted by other kids, feeling "butterflies" in their stomach when the girl or boy they have a crush notices then or whatever. That's perfectly normal and is part of what it means to grow up. It is fueled by hormones and that's all natural.

A hypersexualized society is one that short-circuits all this development and make it happen too fast and that's not good. A hyper-prude society is one that actively suppresses that and makes kids feel bad about what they feel and that can't be good either
