I don't really know what to say about the Satan issue, so I'll just let that go for now. I've never really thought about how the person of Satan is different from the abstract concept of evil. But you're right that hell still will exist even after the destruction of Satan. Anyhoo, most of the gay men I know, even those in their 30s and 40s, still refer to themselves as "boys". I think this is more of a colloquialism of gay culture, than anything else. Of course, literally, I am not a boy, (I am 25), but since all of my friends call themselves boys, so do I. I don't like to get caught up in semantics. Call yourself whatever you wish. Of course, I realize that literally I am a man, but I don't "feel" any older now than I did 5 years ago (in fact, I feel younger!) My life is even more fun now than it was then. I am not trying to tread on the definitions of the boylove community though; I realize that being the age that I am, and having the feelings that I have (for guys anywhere from 14-60 years old), kind of puts me in a gray area. Honestly, I don't know what it means exactly to be in one's 20s. I know a lot of guys my age who are pretty immature. As for 'us boys', I said that because many of my friends ARE boys (under 18). |
