Even if at times (though rare they may be), when a man might possibly have a healthy sexual relationship with a boy... what's going to happen in the boy's mind when he's grown up in a society that keeps telling him how perverted that relationship really must've been -- "He didn't love you... he only used you. He was sick, and there's something wrong with you if you think it was good." Even in a healthy sexual relationship between a boy and a man, the boy will most likely still have to face problems because of it... eventually causing his thinking to be twisted in such a way that he begins to hate the man he once loved and start making up stories that he was sexually abused by this same man. I've read stories of successful sexual relationships between boys and men... but I can't help but think of all the obstacles that have to be overcome for such a relationship to still be called "successful" long after it was started. Not in today's world anyway. And I'm not sure it's a fight worth fighting for since I really don't see how the good that may come out of a sexual relationship with a boy outweighs the good that may come out of a nonsexual relationship with a boy. I guess it depends on what you both want to accomplish through the relationship. ~Splash* |
