To be able to create a theory of how sexual development is occurring now in modern times, we need to be able to put it in the context of what we actually know based on grounded research.

I don't think I need to put into scientific context what I was talking about in my blog. It is not a scientific article. I am stating facts which are, without a doubt, observable.
That nowadays kids are hardly able to witness sexual and sexual related activities (intercourse, birth giving moms, adults courting each other). That - hopefully - implied that one factor missing might not be problematic but all of them missing or in danger of vanishing, is.

If I were to wait for there to be theories about how teenage sexual development can be scientifically analysed under the current circumstances, they would already be too late for me.
My son doesn't read scientific papers and when I do, it just shows me that any study of human behaviour and habits is only ever state of the art. For example, anthropological studies of primitive peoples can lead us modern people to erroneous conclusions, despite scientific diligence, because we are always accompanied by the prejudices of our own existence. The older works in this field, for example, have continuously to be corrected; modern scientists are more likely to falsify than confirm, as this is the nature of science.

I am not a scientist and therefore do not need to adhere to the conditions of scientific work. I express my personal view of what I observe and see fit to criticise. If science were a discipline that alone was allowed to determine how people live their lives, it would not be a science, but at best an ideology, at worst a propaganda tool.

My criticism related precisely to too much theory and too little practice in the lives of our little ones.
Teenagers have zero interest in science texts and I wouldn't expect them to read them.
I opt for more conservative and traditional lifestyles when it comes to the lives of children and teens.

For me, broadly speaking, I think that technology is now playing a key role in our sexual development. How exactly?

  • Births outside the home
  • Working outside the home
  • Death outside the home
  • Birth control pill
  • Artificial abortion
  • Artificial insemination
  • Hormone treatments (blocking puberty, blocking menopausal symptoms)
  • Sex surgery

The "exact" outcomes of it are hard to express commonly - though statistical wise you can safely say that modern peoples get less kids and get divorced more.

What I did was to express them for me personally. My goal is to re-establish more traditional forms of living together and to revive family-life as something to be proud of, to aim for and to feel pleasure about.
