"1) Does a boylover consider himself a pedophile? If not, what do they consider themself, and what do they consider the term 'pedophilia' to be?" I consider boylover and pedophile to mean the same thing. Some refuse to accept the label of pedophile because of how the media and general public has used the word pedophile as if it meant the same thing as molester. It doesn't. "2) What does a boylover consider his boy to be? a lover? a little friend? How does a boylover see the behavior of prefering a boy's company and sometimes being sexually intimate? How does a Christian boylover see the practice?" *His boy*? I don't consider any boy to belong to anyone. *Lover*? Most Christian boylovers don't become intimate with boys. *Little friend*? That sounds kind of demeaning to the boy. How about just using the word *friend*? Most Christians, boylover and non-boylover alike, see sexual intimacy outside marriage as sin. "3) What does a boylover think about the outside world and their negative opinion of boylove?" Depends on what you mean by boylove. If you are refering to sexual contact with minors, I agree with the public that it's wrong and usually hurtful to the child. If you mean the sexual attraction to minors, I think the public has a distorted view of what pedophiles are like, mostly because of how the media sensationalizes every instance of molestation to whip the public into a frenzy and sell their papers or boost their ratings. I have the same view of molesters as the public does, with the exception that I don't think they should be shot on sight. The public, however, doesn't realize that only a small minority of pedophiles molest. If they ever knew how many pedophiles were around them every day, but go unnoticed becasue they don't molest, they would probably run screaming to the hills to get away from all us "vile perverts."
