Nate, Your testimony and argument is certainly interesting and valid, but I don't think it's common. Setting society aside, I believe that there is SO MUCH bad that can come out of having a sexual relationship with a boy -- so much so that it outweighs ANY good. It's just not worth the risk. And I don't mean just a societal risk. I truly believe that there are many other factors that would mess up a boy involved in a sexual relationship with an adult. It's an argument we've discussed here many times. I stand with Dakota on this issue (I've read much of what he's said before). But if you (or anyone) have any opposing info, research, references, or links to offer -- I'd be willing to take a look and re-examine my views. And yes, I've already done some research in this area, but I'm still open. Splash |
