I'm afraid I can't equate being sexual with a boy to taking him for a ride in a car. Yes, there is risk in anything you do, but it's way too much a stretch to compare the two. If indeed there were as many kids hurt in cars in relation to the number of times they ride in cars as there are kids hurt by sexual interaction with an adult, there would indeed be laws against taking kids for rides till the safety issue could be addressed. That's why there are laws against being sexual with a minor. Too many times it results in the kids getting hurt. Also, broken bones can heal a lot easier than a broken spirit.

I may have come off a bit flippant when I was refering to showing love in a sexual manner. I do believe that boylovers are often being loving when it does cross over into sex. But it is just too risky. You don't seem to think the risk is very high. I do. I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree on that one. If I remember correctly, I think you said in a post a long time ago that you knew a guy who had a loving sexual relationship with his YF and that it didn't seem harmful. That may be why you are more accepting of it. I, however, have seen the opposite, which is why I tend to get a bit passionate about it.

I'll let the insults towards the end of your post slide. I've gotten a bit overly aggressive in making some of my points too. I don't think we will ever see eye to eye on this issue. I believe it's way too risky, and you believe (if I understand you correctly) that it should be handled on a case by case basis, at least with non-Christians. I'm glad that you personally just do what the Bible says. Thanks for investing the time to engage in this discussion.
