成人與兒童的性接觸:
定義
1
|
|
成人與兒童的性接觸這個議題就像其複雜性一樣，充滿著各種各樣的爭論。所引起的爭論問題起於根子上，即“性接觸”、“成人”和“兒童”的定義問題。許多人在不同的背景下以不同的含義在使用這些術語，而且有一些人傾向于廣義的定義： |
|
|
|
另一些觀點則認為這是武斷的、不切實際的、不實用的和矛盾的，並因而使用狹義的定義： |
-
“性接觸”是指為性刺激目的與至少參與者之一的性器官發生身體或視覺上的接觸。
-
“成人”是指至少達到投票年齡（18周歲和更年長）的個人。
-
“兒童”是指青春期之前的女性和男性。（這個定義用於精神病診斷手冊和大多數國家的刑法條款。）

Adult Sexual Contact with Children: Definitions
1
|
|
The issue of sexual contact between adults and children is as controversial as it is complex.
The problems already begin with the definitions of “sexual contact”, “adults”, and “children”. Many people use these terms with different meanings in different contexts and some tend to define them very broadly:
|
|
- “Sexual contact” is any affectionate physical contact “out of the ordinary”.
-
“Adults” are all sexually mature persons noticeably older than the “child”, and
-
“Children” are all persons under the age of 18. (This definition is used by the United
Nations and the European Union)
|
|
|
Others consider this arbitrary, unrealistic, impractical, and inconsistent and therefore use narrower definitions:
|
|
- “Sexual contact” is physical or visual contact with the sex organs of at least one of
the participants for the purpose of sexual stimulation.
-
“Adults” are persons of at least voting age (18 and older), and
-
“Children” are females and males before puberty. (This definition is used in
psychiatric handbooks and in most national criminal codes.)
