Conclusion
Do sex acts with adults harm a child, emotionally, even if she is physically capable of adult sex acts? It depends on the society and the cultural background. In some African and Asian countries this kind of sex is very common and shrugged at as of little importance. Their children absorb this attitude and are not disturbed.
In this country our puritan heritage creates, still, an anti-sexual atmosphere, especially concerning the children, upon whom old-fashioned adults project their own hysterical sexual fears and attitudes. American children absorb this and are often emotionally damaged by adult sex contacts.
But such contacts continue to happen. This is a tragedy that will probably continue for many decades.
