No kid should ever have to consent to sex...

... they should joyfully engage into it, like anyone else :) Consent is a word forged by oppressors, to justify their actions. "Well, she doesn't really like me, and in normal times she would never had done it with me, but she consented, right? So I have nothing to be blamed for." That's typical heterosexual reasoning in capitalist societies (just to be clear, I don't say this line of thought is limited to capitalism, but I mention it because that's the current framework of our social lives). The whole talk about consent exists in the first place because the world we live in has been partly built by, and for, psychopaths. Like life is just a matter of contractual relationships where everyone negotiates their best interest, without genuine care for anyone else. But for normal people, especially BLs, love and sex have nothing to do with consent, and all with kindness. In fact, getting a boy to consent is an abhorrent idea to many of us. Love is not a trade, where boys would offer their butt or mouth in exchange of some other advantage. Of course in a BL relationship, boys and men will usually get different kinds of pleasures and advantages from it. But this should not be a trade, rather a symbiotic win-win relationship where each partner gives and gets the best out of it, without any cold calculation behind it. Love is natural at any age, and sex is a natural development from a loving affection. There is nothing particularly difficult about it to understand, even the youngest kids get it, if given the chance. That consideration should be the basis for judging any sexual contact between boys and men. Now, it doesn't erase all the constraints, difficulties, and potential harmful consequences that could result from a sexual relationship. The older partner certainly holds most, if not all, the responsibility regarding all that. He should restrain from engaging into a behavior which would be too risky for the kid. That is, I'm afraid, most of the time, regarding any sexual matters involving kids in our current societies. Don't hit the wall of reality, it will not break and let you go free. That being said, there is no reason to feel ashamed about lustful feelings about boys. In some circumstances, it may even be safe enough to confess them to the boys who like and love us. Boys need honesty from the adults around them, and benefit from it. The gift of honesty about sensitive topics may in fact be one of the greatest gifts a BL can ever offer a boy. The world can be so confusing to children, especially when adults make their best effort to hide the reality from them. If BLs can alleviate a bit that difficulty the younger ones meet, it's likely to make our world a better place, eventually. I'm sure most of us understand that (though there certainly may be disagreements about some aspects), and it may look a bit silly to preach to the choir like that. But sometimes it may be necessary to state the obvious, especially when it gets constantly silenced by the dominant narratives of our times. Lots of happy boys to you, FF mi lon. mute mije lili kin li lon. o sina kute e mi, mi ala wile, pilin pona mi li anpa e pilin ante.
