%SEXUAL IMMATURITY 780105
Sexual immaturity is occasioned by social conditions
which tend to inhibit sexual maturation---the development
of the sexual potentials and capabilities of young people.
Repression of information about and opportunities for
sexual communication inhibit sexual maturation and so
occasion sexual immaturity. Sexual maturity is not
achieved through exclusively intellectual activities.
Sexual maturity develops through participation in sexual
relationships of increasing degrees of openness and
intimacy. Failure to participate in sexual relationships
inevitably occasions sexual immaturity---just as failure
to participate in intellectual endeavors occasions
intellectual immaturity.
Sexual immaturity occasions unloving expressions of
pent-up needs and so the violation of the rights of the
victims of those unloving expressions. To attempt to
repress such expressions of pent-up emotions is futile---
only the manner of expression will be changed. Sexual
immaturity is one with emotional immaturity, because
sexuality is such a central aspect of all human
relationships. The repressions commonly used as means to
cope with sexually nonconformist behavior thus tend to
inhibit sexual maturation and emotional maturation---and
occasion many emotionally and sexually handicapped members
of the community. Such handicapped persons cannot hope to
fulfill their potentials or be productive members of
society unless they are granted rights which facilitate
their sexual and emotional growth. Such handicapped
persons' rights must be structured with due respect for
the rights of sexually and emotionally mature persons---
else immaturity will be promoted by granting greater
advantage to the immature than to the mature.
The rights of immaturity should not extend to letting
the sexually immature dictate what kinds of emotional and
sexual relationships are "proper" and what kinds are
"improper". Granting the immature such rights will
clearly promote immaturity and undermine the long-term
welfare of the community as a whole. The wise solution to
a problem does not compound the problem! The rights of
sexually mature people to engage in mature sexual
relationships should not be abridged by seeking to grant
the sexually immature the right to mature sexually.
