Reading (thanks to Randy!) this rather lengthy article only reinforces my conviction that any efforts to "rehabilitate," defend, or be an apologist for "pedophilia" are at best a waste of time and effort, and at worst offensive to society's "worldview" and resulting in a "backfire," as noted on the article. The only socially feasible path to the eventual understanding and acceptance of consensual sexually expressed boy/older male relationships is in emphasizing the pragmatic needs of real boys (as opposed to the enigmatic and omniscient Nature Boy occasionally imagined here) for such associations (to a greater or lesser extent), and the benefits to the boy of mutually loving, respectful, and mentoring interactions.
