Hi Ben, Waiting for your email... "It is highly unlikely that a boy would even think to pursue a sexual relationship....especially with a man." I'm not sure if I'm taking you out of context here. First, sexual relations in my experience don't typically come out of thinking, but feeling. Man-boy relations of the nurturant type just happen, sometimes (and perhaps very often) without thinking at all. I think just the opposite of "highly unlikely". I think that would be more rare to have a boy who would not eroticize a physically intimate and loving relationship--but that's my hunch. "I do not believe, however, that every sexual whim of a child (or adult) needs to be fulfilled." Fair enough, but will a boy intent on things you will not do cause you to split from him entirely? For boys who are sexually interested in men, if they're after sex then they can find that from any attractive 18+ they like. But if a boy (sexual attractions aside) has you as the only friend he may ever have the chance to be that close with, then what? Regards, Adam |
