I am pre-disposed to love people in general. I look for the things which, in human terms, are "lovable" about the people that I meet. I also pray for the grace to love those who are unlovable (in human terms). I love boys. At church, I give the littler ones piggy-back rides while all the grown-ups are standing around drinking coffee and talking. I try to establish some level of trust with the teens, so that if they decide they need a mentor, they can turn to me. They know who I am, and a few of them know about some of the mistakes I made when I was their age. I look at one or two of the guys and think, "Oh man, that's me!" I love women. I have fallen in love more than once, and really only fallen out of it with one woman. My deepest emotional commitments have always been with women. There are a few guys who I love like brothers, but the bond of love is not that of life-mate. The difference between me and most of the boylovers I've met here is that in addition to mentoring love, the romantic and sexual feelings I have towards women are oriented towards boys. This certainly generates "intensity" in the mentoring relationship that I could never hope to match. I'm sorta just babbling here -- not sure what my point is. Maybe it's to point to the difference between loving boys and being a boylover. Not everyone who loves boys is a boylover, I guess. Which also means that boylovers aren't the only ones who love boys. Time to shut up now! Dirk P.S. I also love boylovers -- that's you-all!! |
