It attempts to place some kind of moral (rather than legal) age of consent at "puberty" (whatever that is ... it's not as if it arrives suddenly overnight or gets delivered in a van). Firstly, note how similar this is to what the mainstream gay movement has done: "men good, boys bad" is simply changed to "older boys good, younger boys bad". I know the issues are complex, but just beware of pointing the finger and saying "I may be bad, but those people are worse! Go after them instead!". And hey, I knew *exactly* what I wanted, *years* before puberty (and I got some of it too, with other boys my own age). http://ethamm.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13 I agree with pretty much everything here, but just one note of caution about the original article.

While we were not "done" with puberty, we sure did find out what works for each other LOL. Call it pheones or hormones or a combination thereof, we certainly did learn the art of copulation. Recently, we celebrated our 40th anniversary together and are just as much in love now as we were then, maybe even moreso because of life's events and our survival and growth through them. Children and adolescents in particular, should be left to their own devices to find their mate. Some old fuck like me or my partner should not be prowling onto their budding sexuality for my/our gratifications though we have thought about just that, though not acted upon it, nor will we. We have examined it closely and decided that those children, those adolescents should find their own mate, just as we did. So much time, energy, resources and yes, money, has been spent on deciding what is acceptable for children and what is not. Children and adolescents do fuck, not so much as their natural desires lead them that way, actually it is in defiance and deference to the "system" telling them they cannot do something. We have found this theory to be true as we are both in helping professions where we come into contact with children and adolescents on a regular basis. When we have a child come in, we tell them it is ok for them to fuck their brains away if that is what they choose to do, more importantly though, we tell them that their attraction is normal. We pull things out of the Kinsey study, and other studies as well. As parents, the important thing to relay to kids is that exploration and falling in love (or lust) is ok. That is to give them the how and what but not the when or where (variable) ... and certainly not the DO part. My rant is done. I really like your board Josh - keep it up and keep it going.
