Germany Pulls Booklet Encouraging
Parent-Child Sexual Massage, but not Child Song Book Encouraging Masturbation

BERLIN, July 31, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - After severe criticism from German
and Polish parents, medical and psychological experts the German government's
Ministry for Family Affairs has pulled two booklets aimed at parents of
toddlers and young children which advocated parent-child sexual massage.
In addition to encouraging fathers to massage their infant daughter's private
parts, the documents encourage unlimited masturbation. (see LifeSiteNews.com

Reported on by LifeSiteNews.com yesterday, the content of the booklets were
first brought to light in Germany by sociologist Gabriele Kuby. Kuby told
LifeSiteNews.com today that she actually raised the horrific content of the
booklets two and a half years ago in her book entitled, "Ausbruch zur
Liebe".
On June 29 of this year the newspaper "Die Junge Freiheit" published
an article by Kuby exposing the booklets again with an accompanying page-one
editorial by editor Dieter Stein. The news made it to other major German
papers and was also picked up on July 9 by the Polish daily
Rzeczpospolita.
Anna Przymont, a child psychologist, is quoted in Rzeczpospolita describing the
contents of the booklet as "vulgar and verging on pedophilia."
"There is no doubt that children at that age do masturbate," Przymon
explained. "But if we allow them to do that, they will keep on
masturbating until they get addicted. This often results in emotional
disorders."
Major media in Germany picked up the story and television media are now airing
the story nationally. When the facts were presented to the Minister of Family
Affairs Ursula von der Leyen by the mainstream media, she removed the booklets
from circulation.
Marc Kinert, a spokesman for von der Leyen a Minister in the ruling Christian
Democrat Party told the press that the booklets were "inherited from the
previous government" and that the Minister was unfamiliar with the
contents.
While the Government has now pulled the booklets encouraging parent-toddler
sexual massage, they have not yet pulled the children's song book which
advocates masturbation for children as young as 4-years of age.
Kuby informed LifeSiteNews.com that tomorrow another story will be published on
the song-book and she is hoping for a similar result.
In her original article on the subject Kuby noted that beyond the shocking
booklets and song-book, the German Federal Health Education Center
(Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung - BZgA) has in almost all their
publications promoted the sexualisation of children as young as one year of
age. BZgA has she said, been undermining parental authority, equating
homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality with normal sexual relations and
also promoting abortion.
She wondered why the majority of Christians in the nation and the religious
leadership had remained virtually silent about the atrocities. "It
is time to wake up!" she warned.
Kuby told LifeSiteNews.com that she hoped the raising of the awareness on the
issues would stir a national debate on the dangers of the sexualisation of
children and youth.
Micheal O'Brien, author on crisis of culture in West, says this
"German state intervention in family life is a new level of auto-destruction"
By John-Henry Westen
BERLIN, July 30, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Booklets from a subsidiary of the
German government's Ministry for Family Affairs encourage parents to sexually
massage their children as young as 1 to 3 years of age. Two 40-page
booklets entitled "Love, Body and Playing Doctor" by the German
Federal Health Education Center (Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung
- BZgA) are aimed at parents - the first addressing children from 1-3 and the
other children from 4-6 years of age.
"Fathers do not devote enough attention to the clitoris and vagina of
their daughters. 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."
Canadian author and public speaker Michael O'Brien who has written and spoken
extensively about the crisis of culture in the West spoke to LifeSiteNews.com
about the shocking and extremely disturbing phenomenon. It is, he said,
"State-encouraged incest, which in most civilized societies is a
crime." The development is, he suggests, 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," said O'Brien. "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'."
The pamphlet advises 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." For
ages 4-6, the booklet recommends teaching children the movements of copulation.
Another product of the BZgA is a song book aimed at children of four and
slightly older which includes several songs espousing masturbation. The
song-book entitled "Nose, belly and bum" includes one song with the
following lyrics: "When I touch my body, I discover what I have. I have a
vagina, because I am a girl. Vagina is not only for peeing. When I touch it, I
feel a pleasant tingle."
"The wiser and deeper position of most civilizations recognized that
children need a period of innocence," commented O'Brien. "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."
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.
"A society such as Germany's which is already in steep decline, indeed
into degeneration, will only inherit the whirlwind of violence and further
levels of degradation of their own people," warned O'Brien.
"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," said O'Brien.
Rzeczpospolita reports that the Eckhardt Scheffer of BZgA claimed that before
releasing the manual the organization consulted parents, educators and child
psychologists. 93% of whom gave a positive evaluation.
Even for a Western nation, Germany's billboards and television ads push the
limits of public pornography. Last year LifeSiteNews.com reported that a
very popular teen magazine in Germany publishes nude photos of teens in sexual
positions which would be in almost any other nation illegal child
pornography.
With a licentiousness as the new morality of the secular materialist
establishment and homeschool a forbidden practice, parents in Germany may well
wonder what will transpire in public education.
"Will those children who are not liberated by their parents have special
classes in their schools where they're introduced to these practices,"
asked O'Brien rhetorically. "If the state intervenes in this way,
what won't it intervene in?"
O'Brien concluded his comments quoting G.K. Chesterton: "When men cease to
believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become
capable of believing anything."
