Like most 10 year old boys, he shows no sign of wanting to have sex . . . Are you then extrapolating from this one isolated situation that no (or very few) 10 year old boys are interested in their innate sexuality? I, of course, would not argue that "most" boys would initiate sexual exploration with a trusted older male - even if they secretly wanted to; or that older males should suggest mutual exploration. But researchers such as Gebhard, Gagnon, et al,; Sandfort; Wilson; and others have provided empirical data to show that "some" boys do just that. Neither "most" nor "some" can be quantified for either side of this question, but it would seem that you are pushing a perhaps religion-based "anti-sex" agenda rather than reporting demonstrable facts.
