I know the above post is a bit overwhelming, but I felt I needed to post it all to show why I so strongly believe the way I do. However, I know that you have experienced something different which you have found wonderful. It worked for you. I just don't know how possible this is anymore. And if it is still possible, is it something we as a society should encourage. My feeling is that the dangers of such a relationship far outweigh any good that could come of it. Do we want to take that risk? Your own relationship with 1of4 seems to support what I believe. Do you think certain boys may require different "treatment" in making them feel loved and accepted? How so? Where does the sexual element fit into this? Do you see any dangers from this (besides scorn from society, jail-time, and sexual disease)? I'm always willing to have my views challenged, and I'm open to others' views. Splash |
