René Guyon Society

The René Guyon Society is a American group that is said to have advocated sexual relationships with children. It was named after René Guyon, a former judge who served on the Supreme Court of France for 30 years and who, apart from traditional judicial work, wrote on sexual ethics in his work The Ethics of Sexual Acts.[1]

The entity's motto is "sex before eight, or else it's too late,"[2] During the 1970's it was based in Beverly Hills, California, and members included professionals. One member, a college professor, presented a paper on the Guyon Society at the annual meeting of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex. [3]

The René Guyon Society has been identified (along with the North American Man/Boy Love Association) as an organization "challenging the assertion that sexual abuse is bad because of its effects on children." [4]
