The majority of adult-child sex is consensual and is reported as a positive experience by the younger participant according to representative surveys.

>a child's body is not designed for sex
Yes they are. Even fetuses have been observed masturbating and experiencing orgasm in utero. Kinsey found that even in a sexually repressive Western context, the majority of people had their first sexual experience, and first experienced orgasm, before puberty. All of the great apes engage in sexual activities before puberty, including humans. As far as penetrative activities go, in some cultures, coitus with pre-pubescent girls is so normalized, it is actually believed that it is a necessary requirement for attaining puberty. A child's body is perfectly capable of engaging in sexual activities; their bodies, much like adult bodies, are designed for sex. Humans are sexual beings from birth.

>Just look at any victim of child sexual assault, who are more likely to be sexual degens, drug addicts, etc, and ask whether it was truly that harmful and corrupting for them..
This is pseudoscientific nonsense, sex is not harmful or corruptive. There is no association between consensual adult-child sex and maladjustment. Secondly, even coerced and non-consenting sexual activities are not strongly associated with maladjustment; studies which use representative samples and control for confounders find that the association between "child sexual abuse" and harm is weak. Sexual activities are not a major cause of harm; this is a medicalization of anti-sexual prejudice.

The majority of adult-child sexual relations are engaged in for mutual pleasure, and there are plenty of societies in which adult-child sex has been permissible, including the West before the late 19th century.

>Have you ever considered that most children also do not desire sex?
A significant proportion of pre-pubescent children desire sex, and virtually all post-pubescent individuals (most people consider those in the early stages of puberty to be children) do. These excerpts in the OP provide countless examples of pre-pubescent children desiring and engaging in sexual activity.

The majority of Kinsey's interviewees report first experiencing orgasm before puberty. Regarding homosexual activity in specific, roughly half of his both adult and child interviewees report having at least one homosexual experience in childhood.
>About half of the older males (48%), and nearer two-third (60%) of the boys who were pre-adolescent at the time they contributed their histories, recall homosexual activity in their pre-adolescent years. The mean age of the first homosexual contact is about nine years, two and a half months (9.21 years)

>You even conceded this earlier in the thread
Not my post, and he isn't even making the claim you say he is.

>Given their decreased capacity to identify and reject manipulation through things like gift-giving they often find themselves coerced into sex
This is more applicable to women than to boys.

The rest of your post is just conjecture without evidence, which I reject.

Including victims of rape and abuse in the same samples as consenting participants in sexual relationships biases the samples.

Regardless, the majority of participants in studies which recruit from clinical and psychiatric settings self-identify as victims of abuse. When actual representative samples are used, the same results are not present.

Study on victims of child abuse, which makes no statements regarding brain function.
