You may or may not be conscious of how you are "framing" the situation. You claim you know the responses of people unknown to you, involved in complex relationships. You know "what will invariably happen very often". You know that boys will be "broken-hearted" because they will be "cast away" "because they just wanted a friend and not sex with someone the same age as their own fathers". And what is meant by "cast away," by "ditch," by "have sex," by "put out," etc.? And why are only those extremes possible? Instead of "cast away" a boy may just "be given less attention". Which the boy may not be thrilled about, but is unlikely to break his heart. Hey, people come and go in each other's lives all the time! Boys who don't learn to handle loss are going to have a much harder time in their adult lives. You frame BoyLovers as being heartless, uncaring, totally selfish monsters. Is that how you behave with boys? If so, I'd like to suggest that your behaviour is not typical. I'd add more, but I'm very busy preparing a long post where I'll be reproducing a study done with 58 boys by Savine-Williams dealing with the boys' pre-pubescent and adolescent real-life sexual experiences with other boys, including boys of the same age, as well as with boys younger, and older. See, Savin-Williams researches topics before he writes about them... Me? I usually do, too. How about you? M. |
