To enable the acceptance of sexual relationships of men with boys as moral we have a number of barriers to climb. Any one of these represents a complete block - to me all of them are insurmountable - we can't get there, although others will no doubt disagree. The barriers can be defined as 1) Christian Theology has always argued that sex should be an expression of permanent relationship and a) a BL will inevitably lose his love for his YF when he passes beyond the BL's Age of Attraction b) A child / teen is inherently unable to make a commitment to a permanent relationship 2) The imbalance of power between a boy and a man means that the relationship is inherently flawed 3) Boys are not fixed in their orientation - to enter a gay relationship is likely to fix their orientation 'unnaturally'. 4) Gay sex is illegitimate in itself (I had to throw that one in for completeness :=) |
