Rossman, over a period of 10 years, became acquainted with and interviewed over 1,000 Boy-Lovers and 300 of their "young friends".

This was a time before widespread pedo-hysteria and before the term "pedophile" became common in American society.

"Pedophiles" as a class of men were virtually unknown, but "pederasts" (also mistakenly referred to as "child molesters" by the "antis") were, to a certain extent, stigmatized in society and pursued by legal authorities. But this depended on the local authorities--in some places Boy Lovers could be quite open. Boys, of course, did know about Boy Lovers, and many boys actively sought out the companionship of Boy Lovers.

Rossman was sympathetic to Boy Lovers (he, himself, was a Boy Lover--but a "self-loathing" Boy Lover--who had been convicted of having sex with a 16-year-old youth), but he still seemed to somewhat disapprove of the relationships (he had followed in his father's footsteps by becoming a Disciples of Christ [Protestant] Minister, as well as an American Yale Divinity School Professor), which one can sense in his works. But he was usually quite fair in his approach.

He divides Boy Lovers into five categories, from those (few) who truly abused boys to those (the majority) who establish caring--sometimes short-term, sometimes long-term--sexual and nonsexual relationships with boys.

One must keep in mind, though, that the "pederasts" he describes are American pederasts; in most other cultures pederasty was perfectly legal, and it was acceptable (when practiced discretely, and one "didn't do it in the street, and frighten the horses" to paraphrase Mrs. Patrick Campbell).

The Rossman article is interesting and informative, and well worth a Boy Lovers attention.

What he addresses in the article

His article is divided into the following sections:

• On Studying The Sexual Underground
• What Is A Pederast?
• Five Types of Pederasty
• Responsible Pederasts(This is where his bias shows most strongly--he would today be a supporter of Virpeds)
• Pederast Morality
• The Consenting Boys
• Erotic Attraction (Here he,unfortunately, repeats the unfounded and now proven false theory of "seduction into homosexuality"--that gay men make boys gay.)

NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
"Why do boys engage in sex with men?"
"[...] mostly, however much they may hide behind other reasons, boys indulge in sexual activity with men because they greatly enjoy being fellated. They are highly aroused by a sexually stimulating culture, and they want sex education and sexual kicks."
NOTE ALSO:
"[T]he Atlanta Gazette quoted a 31-year-old resident of the area as saying that sex with Hardy [who had been convicted and sentenced to a draconian prison term] was a tradition among boys.
“I’ve lived here most of my life and I did it, my brother did it, and my dad did it. Everybody we knew did it. The men who pay young guys whatever amount for a little play are usually well-known by not only the boys involved but by their families—who are generally grateful for the extra financial help and the opportunity to get their kids out of their hair for a time.”
