That may be so biologically, but it does not necessarily make it
right and that's simply where a lot of opposition to fan service comes in: morals. Not to mention different cultures. Some places, 12 year olds are legal adults and they can act like it, other places, it's 21, the difference is usually people of these age brackets had a different upbringing and usually therefore, different attitudes and behaviours toward sex and nudity. Our biology
does not have to dictate our behaviours; if it did, then what's the problem with killing and raping?

Doubt it, VERY much. I was on a completely different level of cognitive and emotional stability when I was 8, 12,15 and 20 for example. Periods had me terrified and upset when I was 12, hardly what I call someone capable of dealing with sex, maybe some 12 year olds can deal, but not all or most, that's why consent laws exist and why a lot of people get angry when others feel that they can deviate those laws to satisfy themselves. Not to mention, anytime I read the accounts of child sex abuse victims, they thought about things in a VERY different way than what an adult would do. It took them many years of growing and maturation to realise what certain behaviours were and what they meant. If that isn't a clear difference between a child and an adult, I don't know what is.
