Milord while it’s true that an surgeon may not have studies on that specific injury to go on, there are still studies showing that A procedure gives the best results with injuries to X and Y body parts. Say a crush injury to the knee, they’ll use this procedure because it’s been shown to have the best outcome.
Even though I was young that was the explanation the doctors gave me for why they fixed me up the way they did, and it makes sense.
In this context, saying interference with sexual freedom and development has negative effects, because while it may hold true for an individual, say a juvenile presenting with behavioral problems who has been forced into chastity. It’s possible, not likely, but possible this may not hold true for the group. Or that whatever negative effects it has are vastly outweighed by the positive.
That’s why studies are so important, looks at a larger group, can be replicated and peer reviewed. Obviously this specific subject would not be widely studied outside of instances of parents abusing their children and the negative outcomes, due to ethical and moral concerns. Which is in a way problematic in this discussion, since all we have to look at are negatively impacted individuals, there’s no opportunity to look at individuals where chastity was introduced and the subject being cared for adequately otherwise. If such a study could be considered ethically, it’s likely that the conclusion would be overall negative showing no positive gains whatsoever, could go the other way though, showing individuals excelling in various other areas with just the discomfort of the hardware.
Not doubting or disagreeing with your point, just wanted to put these thoughts out there for purposes of discussion. And yes, forcing this is still wrong and abusive of course
