I've yet to see any newborn babies engaging in any kind of sexual behavior.

Oh don't worry, Kinsey already ascertained that they were sexual beings...

Well sure they are sexual beings in a fundamental sense, just as they are rational beings. But their sexuality, as with their rationality, is currently in potentia.

why did I know you'd say this? 

The distinction between sexual and sexualized, perhaps.

Father had a homily a week or two ago on pain vs. suffering, and how animals are non-rational while infants are pre-rational. ;)

I think we agree then. I personally do not use the word sexualized unless we are talking about the intentional (and IMO exploitive) revealing of a person's sexual nature. So, some fashion photography, obviously pornography of any sort. Something ridiculous like Miley Cyrus' descent into vulgarity. When I talk about sexuality per se I refer to that aspect of our nature as humans, as social creatures, with sexuality being chaste by nature, and a gift from God ordered towards the ultimate good of the human person. Which is also why in general I have no issue with fine art which happens to depict nudity, as long as we are truly talking about fine art and tasteful, non-exploitive imagery. Bouguereau, Raphael, Michelangelo, Bernini. Jock Sturges and Sally Mann, if we were talking about fine art photography.

So yeah, I agree. :)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we agree.  I really don't want my flippant comment on this topic to fall into a debate surrounding young children and sex.  

And I'm only slightly less jealous about the homily, because the priest's here was pretty good (and not purely vague philosophy).

Yeah, I read one of the lengthy writes-up surrounding his work, and it's disgusting.  :x
