It appears America's new president was intensley loved by his father. However, millions of boys across the U. S. (and perhaps billions worldwide) have not been loved by a man in an intimate way. Some, who have NOT had an intimate relationship with a man during their childhood, hide this hurt by drinking, doing drugs, ect. Then, there are others, who choose to get involved in boys lives, to give a boy the intimacy he craves from a man, and in turn, the boy gives these "wounded" men something genuine in return. It is called love. That is, the love between a boy and man who, as you put it, both "ache for genuine male intamcy" heals the wounds you describe in your post. Unfortunately, much of society is scared of a man who has a desire to be intimate with a boy, a boy who so deperately needs the love from a man. So instead of the healing power of love, many men do not get involved, and the boy grows up without the love you describe, and the cycle continues! When the boy becomes a man, he can choose alcohol, drugs, and other negative things, or the boy can grow into a "spiritual" man and love a boy that can heal the failures of other men who turned their back on their boys because of a society who looks at men loving boys with skeptical eyes! Love heals hurts, Let us love! ~Once a Boy |
