as a boylover, and so far not a single problem has arisen. A few times my hand was forced in the matter, but 90% of the time it was my decision (I told my yf entirely of my own free will, and for example when I told my father he simply asked, "Are you attracted to little boys?" and I answered "Yes."). Some of them were and still are religious, some of them were not (and still are not) religious; it had made no difference. The only time I've had anything approaching a problem was when I came out to my best friend in high school, but his hang-up was that I was in love with him. That was what he couldn't handle, not my pedophilia. I moved on in terms of wanting him, and he and I are still good friends. On a little side note, his parents (as well as the parents of my first yf) also know that I am a bl, and they are both *very* religious, and they have been totally accepting of me. As wonderful and understanding as people could have been, they have been just that. So I have been very lucky in that regard, because I have certainly heard some terribler horror stories from some bl friends of mine. It makes me very very happy and blessed to have such wonderful people around me. And yes, I know it is because of God. Though my relationship with him has been somewhat rocky at times, I know he is the source of all happiness in my life, and I live my life solely in order to make him happy. I hope that, when my time comes to leave this wonderful, accursed place, I can say that I have done just that. :o) ((())) to you. Ringo |
