Hi Scott, how old are most people out there? I'm your age (not saying exactly) how long have you known you were a boylover? Not sure, the urges have manifested themselves in different ways as I grew up. For as long as I can remember I have had some kind of curiousity to physicality, or sexuality. I didn't have a name to give this orientation until a year ago when I discovered Boylinks what is the most dramatic change you have seen in your lifetime in society's view of boylove? Boylove is almost an unknown to much of society. From what I've read and learned, in my lifetime, which began in the '70s, BL was once viewed with some sense of normality--it wasn't considered perverted--one could admire the art of BL without being labeled a pedophile. Books were published with naked boys and it wasn't called porn. Now, with the paranoia, society assumes you can't control your sex drive if you are anything other than heterosexual. We are at a paradox since, on the one hand, society says we need better father role models for children, but on the other hand some of those who would be best qualified would be labeled outcasts by society. My best estimate as to society's view of BL in my lifetime and since the beginning of histoty is that they can't make up thier mind. for how many years of your boylove have you been a christian? I was a BL before I became a Christain, so I guess all five years of my Christain life I've dealt with the issue of BL in some respect or another. how has christianity changed your boylove? Before I knew what to call BL, I always thought of my ability to relate to kids as a gift from God. Now it is a daily reaffirmation that I have to give over to God for the lust I sometimes feel. There are ways that I can use BL in my ministry, as I always have, but, I would not call lust for boys a "gift". I do my best daily to reinforce the "love" I have for children in an unconditional manner, modeled after Christ's love for us. In this way I am better able to appeciate and understand God's love. That in it self is the biggest way Christianity has changed my BL. God's peace, Oliver |
