The majority of people would say that it is unacceptable for 10 year olds to play sex games. It is a controversial issue but there are many reasons why this would not be a desirable situation.
Sex games are activities that couples use for sexual exploration and 10 year olds are far too young to understand the safety and meaning of such activities. In addition, children at this age will not have developed properly with regards to puberty and they will not be knowledgeable enough about sexual activities.
In today’s culture, especially within the celebrity and entertainment industry, people could argue that young children are being exposed to sexualized culture far too early. It is well known in the entertainment industry that ‘sex sells’ so it is difficult for people to avoid the sexuality that is flaunted in magazines, TV shows and films on a regular basis.
Children’s clothes may also be an issue. For example, recently in the UK there was an outrage over a clothing store that provided padded bras for children. Moreover, young girls especially see what their favorite celebrities wear and want to look like them which could encourage them to wear sexy clothes far too advanced for their age.
Due to this exposure, young children may be more prone to wanting to learn more about sex which could be too early for their age. In addition, it is easy for children to access adult culture over the internet and some have argued that there is a lack of comprehensive sex education in schools which may encourage children to learn for themselves.
It is important to understand that it is normal for children to get to a certain point where they become curious about their bodies and the bodies of others. Playing ‘doctor’ is a classic children’s game that identifies a child’s curiosity to learn about people’s bodies. However, this is quite natural behavior and shouldn’t be a cause for concern because it is rare for the children to see the game as anything sexual.
