International outrage is growing over booklets distributed by a subsidiary of the German government that encourage parents to sexually massage children as young as one year and to allow “unlimited masturbation.”
The European Union Times (EUT) is reporting that two booklets entitled “Love, Body and Playing Doctor” are being promoted by the German Federal Health Education Center (Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung – BZgA). Aimed at parents, the first booklet addresses toddlers age one to three and the other is for children ages 4-6 years of age.
Although some of the content is too graphic to reprint, the booklets instruct fathers to caress their daughter’s sexual organs. “ . . .Their caresses too seldom pertain to these regions, while this is the only way the girls can develop a sense of pride in their sex,” reads the booklet regarding 1-3 year olds. The authors rationalize, “The child touches all parts of their father’s body, sometimes arousing him. The father should do the same.”
The pamphlets also advise parents to permit young children “unlimited masturbation” except where physical injury becomes apparent. It advises: “Children should learn that there is no such thing as shameful parts of the body. The body is a home, which you should be proud of.”
The booklet aimed at four to six year-olds also recommends teaching children the movements of sexual intercourse.
According to the Polish daily newspaper Rzeczpospolita, the BZgA booklet is an obligatory read in nine German regions. “It is used for training nursery, kindergarten and elementary school teachers. Ironically it is recommended by many organizations officially fighting pedophilia, such as the German Kunderschutzbund. BZgA sends out millions of copies of the booklet every year.”
Catholic author Michael O’Brien, who has written extensively about the crisis of culture in the West, told LifeSiteNews the booklets are “state-encouraged incest, which in most civilized societies is a crime.”
“The wiser and deeper position of most civilizations recognizes that children need a period of innocence,” O’Brien said. “Now the state, the German state, is encouraging destruction of this state of innocence,” he added. “This is consistent with the materialist philosophy that sees all moral norms and all truths about human nature as repressive. Pleasure and their distorted concept of freedom are their only guiding principles.”
In his opinion, the development is a natural outcome of the rejection of the Judeo-Christian moral order.
“The imposed social revolution that has swept the western world is moving to a new stage as it works out the logical consequences of its view of man’s value,” O’Brien said. “It is merely obeying its strictly materialist philosophy of man. If man is no more than a creature created for pleasure or power. If he is no more than a cell in the social organism, then no moral standards, no psychological truths, no spiritual truths can refute the ‘will to power’ and the ‘will to pleasure’.”
He warned: “It has happened before in Germany. It has happened in other nations. Different causes but the same dynamic, the rejection of the moral order of the created universe results in radical evil. The German state intervention in family life is a new level of auto-destruction.”
