Thanks for the excellent description of one of the issues BLers face. I don't pretend to be an expert, since I have yet to develop a close relationship with a boy. However I do know that a more important concern than that of a hurt, confused, or lost BLer, is that of a hurt, confused, or lost boy. Another note: it's far from clear that the number of celibate BLers is smaller than the number of those who develop sexual relationships. Mark |
