I definatly can attest to the fact that boylove and homosexuality have very little in common. Why not expand on what you mean here? Do you mean that boylove as you experience it is a kind of innocent and spontaneous "hey let's jack-off together" sort of thing (at least in thought), whereas homosexuality is more of a mature and considered establishing of relationships? For me boylove and homosexuality is in essence one and the same thing - establishing a relationship with someone. That's what I meant with my comment about my young friend's age being incidental. The age difference is only important insofar as it puts upon me the responsibility to see that the boy is growing up into a mature and healthy young man (which responsibility, I suppose, would continue even after he has passed 18. The only difference, I think, would be that as he becomes a man, he starts taking on the same responsibility to look after me, and the relationship becomes one of equals). You're a lucky guy to have that photo of your bf at 11! I've only got a photo of mine from 12 years of age. True, I'm standing there right next to him... ;) Fod |
