Hello, unkn,
First of all, please don't put words into my posts. I did not say I thought
adult/minor relationships were inherently bad, immoral or anything else. I
only said that I choose not to become sexually involved, choosing fantasy
and masturbation over contact and the risk of prison.
That being said, I personally know several men (formerly boys, but aren't
we all) that, as boys, had intergenerational relationships lasting, in two
cases, several years. These men are well adjusted; only one leads a "gay"
lifestyle. Another of the men considered it a "phase" (his word, not mine)
and today is married with children of his own. Yet another of the men has
become a mentor (coaches his son's ball team), but is not sexually
attracted to boys. About all these guys have in common is their pasts and
the fact that they all know me.
Although they are acquainted, none of the men know anything about the
other's past, and I don't have any reason to divulge anything that has been
said to me.
Getting to the issue of harm, my personal opinion is that much more "harm"
is done by society's reaction if the relationship is dicscovered than
anything the adult would do. Note, I am speaking about a man who loves boys
and has no desire to hurt a boy.
Remembering that, when the time comes that the boy wants to stop, it is the
adult's responsibility to STOP! The hardest part of the relationship, then,
would be ending the sexual part. Nothing says that the adult has to stop
seeing the boy, or especially being a friend to said boy. God knows, most
boys have so little positive adult influence in their lives today anyway.
I admire the men who coach and mentor boys. I would love to do that, but I
have doubts about my resistance.
Therefore, I choose not to put myself in a position that could even
possibly lead to anything more than passing contact. You see, it is a self-
preservation thing, as well as a concern for boys. I am all too aware of
the signs of a boy that could use a friend.
I'm not sure I could be just a friend, and if I couldn't keep a "safe"
distance, and someone found out, then what did I do to that boy? Even if
the boy starts things, it is up to me to watch out for the boy's well-
being. I don't think it is the relationship itself that is harmful, it's
the stigma that would follow the boy, and that's a risk I am not willing to
take, for me or for any boy. Recently there was a story in the news about a
boy (18, I think) that jumped from a cruise ship while on vacation because
he had been beaten then raped by his peers. His suicide note said it was
that everybody knew what had happened. How much worse would it have been
for him had he been a willing participant?
So. no, it's not fair for anyone. Not for the BL, not for the boy. But that
is the way things are, and signs are things will get much worse before they
get better. Today, you'll get a longer sentence if you sleep with a 16-
year-old than if you shoot and kill him. Where is the sanity?
So, I sit here at the computer, and write these silly long-winded
explanations about why I'm sitting here writing these silly long-winded
explanations...
I'll get up in the morning, go out, and maybe go to the mall and check out
the eye candy, then come home and fantasize about things. But no, I won't
be picking up any boys tomorrow, unless I see one that has fallen and needs
a hand getting back on his feet...
Maybe this is a 'cowardly' way to deal with reality. But it is the way I
deal with reality.
I'm not sorry that this makes you want to "throw up". This has been a
sucessful way of self-preservation for a long time, and hopefully it will
continue to be sucessful for some time to come.
I do, however, wish you luck in changing the world.
Take care.
