How young is too young?

From my viewpoint I think it may not be possible for a 10 year old boy to understand his own reactions being natural or even if those reactions are natural or if there exists the possibility of a natural reaction

Think about being 10 again
Life was basically school, baseball and friends

You may have gotten an inkling of a possible sexual feeling/gratification but it doesn't really extend into physical involvement in most cases

i remember life at 10 being about school, baseball & friends ... definately

i went to school and played with as many boys as i could (i touched a boys pee pee in the middle of class when i was 6!), i played baseball (& watched) so i could try to get a glimpse of a pee pee, & my friends were all either boys or other girls who liked pee pee's ... when i was about 8 or 9, my female cousin & I played with each others bits in bed one night ... when i was 12, the 'gang' of friends i had at school were all desperate to lose our virginity - it was like a curse. we all pretended we had sex at various stages throughout the year, but all went off to high school virgins.

if i had've had an opportunity to have sex at the age of 12 i would have, without question, and i'm SO glad i didn't. Between 12 & 14 lots of kissing & fondling happened in between, and i WAS ready to have sex when i did.

maybe age 10 is about baseball & school for some kids, but there's always the group gathering behind the sports shed for a kiss & a grope who don't give a shit about baseball.

everything is more simple when we are kids, because we don't understand all the details ... we let kids play baseball even though they don't all understand the rules ...

with all of that said however, the hypothetical situation we are discussing is wrong, but the only person doing anything wrong is the 21 year old, not the 10 year old boy.
