Sex is not harmful to children. It is a vehicle to self-knowledge, love, healing, creativity, adventure, and intense feelings of aliveness. . . . Our moral obligation to the next generation is to make a world in which every child can partake safely, a world in which the needs and desires of every child . . . can be marvelously fulfilled (p. 225).
One can not raise a fulfilled child when a chunk of their humanity is ruthlessly denied them, when their dignity is unrecognized by the depraved and the dried up. One can not call a starving child full. One can not call a child whose asexuality has been forced on them, fulfilled.
