Adam - I guess before I became a Christian I would have been open to such a relationship if I really felt it were something that a boy wanted. Now, I'm not 100% sure. It is very difficult for us to really reach an absolute conclusion for the simple fact that you WERE a boy who desired to be with a man and I was a boy who would NOT have wanted to be with a man. It's easy for me to conclude that most boys either don't really want that or that they don't NEED it if they want it because that is the perspective that I can relate to. I do believe that one's own conclusions are often based on the bias that their own personal feelings and experiences allow them to have. It is interesting to me that the bible clearly speaks against men lying with other men, yet it is virtually silent on men with boys and it IS silent on things like masterbation. Anyway, we can chat in person. I'm looking forward to catching up! Ben |
