RM> Something that surprised me is my niece, who has kids and is a teacher
RM> so sees a lot of kids, says that they are maturing more slowly today
RM> than in the past.

AA>Slowly physically? ..or mentally?

Mentally, just not interested in sex as young as they used to be.

AA>I heard/read that kids are reaching puberty much more early in life.

Yes, I've heard that too and you'd think that would have the opposite
affect on their 'mentality'..

RM> With so much online stuff available I'd have thought the opposite
RM> but she insists it's true.

AA>Yes.. that stuff could ill-prepare kids mentally.

I'd expect that porn available at a younger age would make kids
want to explore earlier as well. But.. my father used to leave
his Playboy magazines in a living room magazine rack with all
the other types of magazines, and they didn't say too much if I
were looking through them. I think my father figured you wouldn't
do anything stupid if you knew what all the fuss was about..

RM> That came up when I mentioned I was
RM> trying to get ahold of Nudie magazines back when I was 12..

AA>That topic entered my purview commencing grade 6/7.

Yes, same here.

RM> By 14 I was trying to get ahold of Nudie girls..   B)

AA>It's our bodies tellings us to "reproduce, reproduce!"

Originally the human lifespan was only about 17 years so nature
had to get you going pretty early.. No one has thought to reset
that these days though when we live a little longer than that.. B)
