I know for a fact that it is possible for boys who have been in sexual relationships with adults to grow up to be normal, healthy, happy individuals who do not regret such relationships. I know this because I have met such, now grown, boys.

I also know it is possible to grow up to regret that experience because I have heard and read enough accounts from people who consider themselves to have been molested to know that such is possible.

So, the only real question is, what are the odds of each of these scenarios coming to be, and how much risk of the latter scenario developing are you willing to tolerate?
