The worst part of child sexual abuse is the shame that goes along with it, that's why it's so destructive. If you are abused, the abuse is fairly normal to you, it doesn't really set in until later in life. You have love, first sexual pleasure and often fear and pain all mixed in. Something that isn't talked about is the child victim will sometimes idolize the perpetrator which leads to more guilt later in life, any pleasure that was felt is a source of shame years later and wires the victim's brain to associate things the wrong way. I agree that sex is powerful and it's a complicated exchange that children are not even close to being able to process until much later in life.
