I've been prevaricating about this post for a good couple of hours, but it was what originally came to mind, and if I leave this kind of thing out of my blog, because of how others might react, I don't believe I'm being true to myself.
I've mentioned before that I spend a certain amount of time reading erotic fiction, mostly on a rather well-known internet purveyor of the genre. I wouldn't say I'm obsessive about it, but I do find it to be a way of dealing with the corporeal effects of my attractions without involving any real-life complications. And yesterday, I read part of a story that has to be amongst the most head-spinningly sexy things I've ever experienced, always bearing in mind, of course, that it was fictional, the product of a writer's imagination. It was a chapter describing two pre-teen boys making love - and I use that phrase advisedly, it seemed to me that there was far more to it than just sex - describing it in a way that engaged me totally, in both a physical and emotional way. If the passage had been written about two adults, it could easily have been lionised as 'great literature', but because of the age of the protagonists, the vast majority of people would dismiss it, no doubt, as mere child pornography. Well, without apology, I'm prepared to say that I loved it, and if that makes me a pervert, mea culpa.
Love & best wishes to all

I think we've "evolved" to the point that we can't believe that anyone under the age of 18 1) can have sexual thoughts that make sense, or 2) know what love is, and how it can be shared physically. Instead of encouraging healthy sexual learning and physicality, we push it into the realm of "bad", "ugly" and "coercion" thus teaching children that it's all bad, no matter what, and that is what they take with them into adulthood. So sad.

Hello Jay
ReplyDeleteThank you for being the one brave enough to comment on a 'controversial' post. My take on the 'evolution' is that 'children' - insert your definition here, but seemingly anyone under about 25, the way things are heading - are expected to be as pure as the driven snow until they reach the arbitrary age of consent, at which point they're supposed to know everything about sex, presumably by magic. The whole thing is hypocritical and nonsensical, in my opinion, but I would say that, wouldn't I?
Love & best wishes
