I thought I'd put my two cents in. My age of attraction is around 7-13. I'm in college, so I don't get many opportunities to be around boys in my AOA. About the only relationships with boys I've had recently is with my choir director's sons who sometimes play instruments in my church choir. But seeing them occasionally once a week is not sufficent for a good relationship to develop. Because of my separation from boys, I have experienced a lot of the same things that others here have expressed. I found that their absence aroused lustful sexual feelings in me that I never had when I was around boys more. I think it is good to develop friendships with boys in your AOA, but always tempered with restraint, control, and wisdom. I don't have this experience, but I can see how exposure to boys you are attracted to may put you in situations where some difficult choices have to be made. ChoirBoy |
