... To me the most crucial point is the punishment, drama, humiliation and very real destructive intervention deemed as expert, and "professional"... therapist, special unit police, child-aid investigators/workers, the entire apparatus of courts, corrections, and life long debilitating titles and shame to be inflicted by law. No male youth "consents" to have the government, and all her agencies hired by literally the thousands to make their livelihoods on investigating if they may have enjoyed a sexual encounter. It's not just the sex that needs to be considered in consent, but rather the entire social structure, and the culture of prosecution. Sex like it was suggested is not a "consensual" act, it's done in a spirit of (or at least would be in a healthy society) kindness, adoring arousal, with desires of maintaining friendship... Seriously, who consents to that? Especially when erotic passion is a natural desire, that feels good, and is sought-out by many, many boys. It's like sex, and the act of being naked and fulfilling a most fundamental sensation is tantamount to some kind of torture, and spirit killing ritual... and a healthy community should never consent to this way... That's not to say that law enforcement does not have it's very important place, but when layers upon layers of investigative redundancy leads to an abuse of power, and in fact damages lives, in fact destroys lives... it's time to go to war with such ignorance.
