The fact that many parents ''have been'' socialized into believing that young people are (or ''should be'') "asexual" often causes the parents to react negatively to overt sexual activity engaged in by very young children. The adults may either--verbally or nonverbally--demonstrate strong disapproval, or they may actually ''punish'' their child when he or she is caught engaging in masturbation, or in so-called "sex play" with another child. This itself is a terrible form of ''child sexual abuse'', as it instills feelings of guilt and shame into the child about engaging in behavior which is actually quite normative.

	It is claimed that prepubescent children do not understand the views on sexual morality held by society, but this is a fallacy. First, "society" is not monolithic, but instead, a heterogeneous collection of subcultures, each with their own "morality". Second, even within an otherwise relatively homogenous group (or "subculture") individuals may hold quite different views of what is considered to be "moral" and what is "immoral".

'''Adult sexuality vs. childrens' sexuality''' is an artificial dichotomy created by antisexuals and sexophobes to (falsely) support their claim that adults and younger people should not engage in sexual activity with each other, even if the activity does not otherwise seem to cause any harm to the young people.

==Adult vs. child sexual activity==
Adult sexual activity is considered to be "goal oriented," while child sexual activity is considered to be only "play" or "exploration". In fact, when adults engage in sexual activity for pleasure, this is no different from sexual activity engaged in by ''young people'' for pleasure.

Sexual activity (particularly that which produces orgasms) is an very effective stress-reliever, and sexual activity, in general, is an excellent way to establish closeness, trust, and intimacy between two people. It has played those roles throughout all of human history.

Kinsey found that the physiological reactions of prepubescent boys when orgasming are ''identical'' to the physiological reactions of adults (with only one small exception: prepubescent boys do not ejaculate semen, though a drop or two of clear seminal fluid may be produced).
