"How many more stories like this will there have to be for there to be an actual evident impact on society... the world?

Stories like these would never change the Christian world view. Even if you proved that certain types of man/boy sexual relating were HEALTHY for the boy they'd still have none of it.

"But, anytime I read articles like this one, I can't help but think I shouldn't read them at all. Since my christian beliefs include the belief that sex outside of marriage is sinful (yes, I do realize that everyone here doesn't believe that), I feel that reading things that help me further believe that healthy man/boy sex is possible only discourages me."

I guess it's discouraging to think that you have a life of celibacy ahead of you. However, apart from that I don't see how knowing the truth about man/boy relating is a bad thing. You choose not to have sex outside of marriage with boys, men, women whoever because you beleive it would be unholy.... it has nothing to do with if it would be fun, or safe, or healthy or whatever.

" And... At least among the people I know, giving them factual evidence of positive sexual relationships between men and boys is not going to help the BL case. Some people will just have none of it.. refuse to even listen once intergenerational sex is mentioned.... To them, it is very black and white. Children shouldn't have sex. Period."

I suspect these kinds of "eveidence" would perhaps influence the "secular" view. And maybe more so if it wasn't the pedophiles saying... 'it never did the boys I sexed any harm'. I mean, of course THEY are going to say that. Like I mentioned above... a non-liberal Christian world view is never going to buy it.
