like Chris, i also am an alcoholic and a boylover. unlike Chris, i am not recovered (yet...). about your question, mark, my (very humble) opinion is that alcoholism is about your body needing a physical substance to feel right. boylove is about just that, love. it is the desire to love and hold and care for and touch and love another human being. now, i do not put molesters in the same category as us-they act out of other impulses (well, most do, i am sure some of them are boylovers...), whatever it is that causes them to rape another. i hold no distinction between them and rapists, or between them and people who beat their child. they act not out of love, but out of a desire to satiate themselves. in my opinion, that is the fundamental distinction.
