I only have a few minutes, but I wanted to respond to this before I left. Something about the post bothers me, as if there is a "boylove" movement that we all fall under or can be defined by. I know this is not the case with me, and is probably not the case with most of us. The term "boylover" does not define me -- it is only a part of me. I live my life as normal heterosexual male, have a normal job, normal life, etc. Perhaps it's the same with the so-called homosexual movement. I'm sure there's a lot of people that have homosexual feelings who don't associate themselves with such a movement. Myself, I don't plan to be a part of any political movement that would make boylove more acceptable in society. Yes, I'd like people to be more understanding of me and my feelings in this area, but I don't think "boylove" in general (as it is defined by most non-boylovers) should or could ever be accepted by society. My own feelings toward boys are a bit more passionate than my feelings for women and that makes me weak toward any tendency to go beyond "acceptable" behavior with a boy. I hope that never happens, and as long as this "beyond acceptable" behavior is seen as unnacceptable by society, I will most likely not ever go beyond those boundaries. God forbid that society as a whole ever sees a sexual relationship between a man and a young boy as acceptable; and as a so-called boylover, I will not allow myself to be connected to such a movement that does want to make such things more acceptable in the eyes of others. If you want to talk to me about my personal struggles as a boylover and how it applies to my also being a Christian, then we can talk. But I just can't relate to the question of my part in the historical or cultural aspects of boylove. (I know there are many different views of what it means to be a boylover and what the word "boylove" actually means. I can respect that people have different views. The above paragraph is only an *explanation* of *my* view. I know it's not the same for everyone. Peace). ~Splash* |
