Hi Mr. Smith, I'm glad to see you still around. I think your view of boylove is probably mostly informed by media reports of organizations such as NAMBLA, and the local child molester. Posters on CBF reacted strongly to your assumption that everyone must act on their sexual attraction. This assumption is natural in a heterosexual context, but even many homosexual Christians are not sure whether God wants them to experience sexual relations. In this context, most posters on this board feel that God does not want them to have sexual contact with a child. You wrote: When I think of an orginization (or whatever) called "Boylove" I think of homosexuality and child molestation. You are accurate in so far as boylovers have a homosexual attraction-- to minors -- but that does not mean that they act on their attraction. Often, boylovers who approve of adult/child sexual contact would say that child molestation occurs when the child does not consent to the activity. This is a moot point in this particular instance, because those replies that have confused you talk about not having sex with boys because the posters believe that it is not God's will. You wrote: I hope you guys understand how SERIOUS child molestation is on a child. Serious effects. I do. I know of people who have suffered trauma due to sexual contact as minors. I know that sex has a big effect on people's lives. I don't think that I have many illusions. On the other hand, can you *ever* conceive of an instance where the child might benefit from such a relationship? I assure you that I have heard authentic stories along these lines as well. A question: why do you lump homosexuality and boylove together with child molestation. Myself, I would put child molestation and rape together. Peace of Christ, Bach |
