You seem to be missing the point. In your attempt to push your own agenda, you’re completely ignoring the very real psychiatric and psychological issues raised by the original poster. He said, “I realized that my attraction is fueled by my emotions of anxiety, depression, etc.” Without more details, we can’t know exactly what that means, but instead of engaging with it, you just keep linking to the same website in every discussion like it’s a magic answer to everything. Almost makes me wonder if you're a paid advertiser for Edmund L0L. And honestly, how is Norman Douglas supposed to represent the average BL? The man reportedly had sex with thousands of children. Even among heterosexuals, that’s wildly atypical. If he were straight, we’d call him a Romeo or a Casanova. What’s interesting about people like Casanova is that they’re statistical rarities -- maybe one percent of the population, maybe less. But with over 8 billion people in the world, there are bound to be thousands, even millions, of people like that scattered through history. It’s an interesting footnote, but it proves absolutely nothing because those kinds of people are outliers. You call it “real boylove” but how is a man who had sex with thousands of both boys and girls like Norman Douglas did (I'm referencing the Wikipedia page here) representative of a typical boylover? He's no more representative of us than a Casanova is representative of straight men. Would you advise a lonely straight guy to read about the exploits of Casanova as inspiration to demonstrate what “real womanlove” is? Anyway, the point is that we’re not all the same. Each of us has our own individual psychological and, to coin a word, sexological makeup. We’re not all Norman Douglas, and we’re not all weird, basement-dwelling neckbeards either. To bring the conversation full circle, if you actually want to engage with people where they are, you have to meet them there -- not drag them over to your own agenda, your favorite website, or your personal, insular view of what real boylove is.  |
