But you know that eating too much is going to cause you problems later on down the line. "Do you go into a ‘recovery' group for people addicted to chocolate ice cream or simply practice a little more moderation in your desire?" Ah, but what is moderate boylove sex? Let me try a third time. Thanks to everyone for the replies on why you find recovery groups destructive. But (says the devil's advocate who lives in my study) if you're really serious about being celibate, why hang around a bunch of people who are going to give you lots of reasons not to be celibate? Myself, I see this as being like an interfaith forum. But there are people who would see it more like a forum in which members of the Christians for Nonviolence Committee chat with members of the Ku Klux Klan (sorry to all the pro-sex boylovers for the horrible analogy). I have seen cases where celibate boylovers changed their views on man-boy sex as a result of being around pro-sex boylovers. (I've also seen the opposite, but my devil's advocate wants me to keep to the point.) So once again I ask, is it dangerous for boylovers who are committed to celibacy to be around boylovers who are explaining all the time why man-boy sex can be a morally glorious act? (Realizing, of course, that the two categories overlap. My devil's advocate says I'm really getting off the subject.) Heather |
