Paedophilia

Relativist, I think.

When I was in college I took a course in Cultural Anthropology. In it, the prof described a culture in which it was customary for a man to have sex with his pubescent daughter. This was considered a very loving and nurturing way of introducing the girl to sex, rather than leaving it up to her future husband, who may not be very gentle with her.

I don’t remember whether the prof was describing an actual culture, or whether it was just a hypothetical example to facilitate discussion. Has anyone heard of this? And if so, was there a similar custom involving women and their sons?

In the book, Humbert Humbert used the same line on Lolita.
