>I really wish you had privately asked me for comment before blasting this out publicly since the (false) pedo claim can be so damaging. It's entirely false and you have leapt to incorrect conclusions. Allow me to explain. >He then says that minors secretly want to have sex with older men, and that the reason why almost all young boys like Superman, Batman, and Iron Man is that they want to be fucked by them, so the age of consent exists to make young boys feel guilty about this and thus stop them from having sex with older men. >No, I do not believe that young boys want to be fucked by Batman! (I can't believe I have to write that.) I don't see how you got there from what you quoted from me. >Most (non-effeminate) boys have NON-SEXUAL interest in masculine coded activities or people (older brothers, soldiers, superheroes). For example, most boys would rather go on a camping trip with their dads than paint their nails with mom or whatever. (The concept in social sciences in "homosociality.") >This is very often flipped for gay men. As children, they often report more stereotypically girly interests including having a lot more female friends (not homosocial). The "bizarre theory" that gays then make up a third gender of effeminate men was actually put forth by Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, the first man we could describe as openly gay (1860s) based on his personal experiences*. >The more modern term "pre-homosexual boys" tells us that researchers noticed the strong correlation between boyhood effeminacy and adult sexuality. That's how strong the overlap is. Most boys are homosocial and turn out heterosexual once puberty hits, so goes the mainstream theory. It's reversed for gays: effeminate interests in childhood predict same-sex attraction in adulthood. But what about "normal" masculine boys who end up being sexually attracted not just to females but also to masculine men? There's no space for that, actually. That's why I wrote the book. >I was a young boy with typically male interests, unlike many gays. All my friends were other boys and we did stereotypically male things. Once puberty hit, I had an attraction to females like most… but also to other guys. To me, it's natural and obvious that if I liked masculine things and people as a child (again, non-sexually), then that attraction could be sexual once puberty hit. >TLDR; Boyhood NON-SEXUAL, homosocial interest in the masculine becomes sexual during puberty. Boys like masculine figures NON-SEXUALLY, so once puberty hits it becomes sexual. "Society" or whatever cultural forces suppress much of this out of most men. That last sentence is debatable but definitely not pedo. >I will address the rest of the quotes especially age of consent next. I do not want to gloss over that. More comprehensive reply later today or tomorrow but I hope that clears things up a bit for now. >* Karl Heinrich Ulrichs also came up with concept of homosexual and heterosexual (urnings and dionings, though a pen pal of his used those terms.)
