The three relationship dynamics of boylove: father/son, partners, peer. I suppose mentorship would be much like father/son as described. The whole 'daddy' thing has become a plague when it comes to adult gay culture for sure. I've experienced this role on both sides of the relationship: boy and man. I've never had a partner unfortunately(?) Most often, they were all peers. All of my active participation was when I was fairly youthful myself. No later than mid-20s. So being seen more as a peer probably was fairly easy as compared to how it'd be now. Though, I don't know if I consider myself a boylover in the traditional sense anymore. I treasure public and innocent interactions with them. I do adore how their bodies morph and change. But I don't seek any young friends and haven't in a long, long time. Maybe it's a phase? Maybe not. Thank you for the link! |
