Re: Theo Sandfort - Study, 25 boys/sex with men [link]

'No one asked you to do this work' That is true, although I'm happy he did. It was a reaction on a question in response to what I had written about 25 boys from Amsterdam, who had been interviewed about their sexual contact with men. Excellent, our librarian immediately jumped on the ladder. An occasional thank you does a person good. Apparently, our librarian also needs that from time to time. So from the bottom of my heart Manny, thanks!. No one can do that faster than you. Perhaps the book "Male intergerational intimacy" by Theo Sandfort, Edward Brongersma, A. X. van Naerssen is also interesting. 'This groundbreaking book presents new historical, legal, sociological, psychological, and cross-disciplinary research on male intergenerational intimacy. Experts thoroughly document and further the discussion about this area of research through historical and ethnological examples from different times and places, and aim to clarify how controversies about the subject have evolved in modern Western society. The editors of Male Intergenerational Intimacy have solicited original research and literature reviews which do not digress into emotional arguments for or against intergenerational intimacy but instead aim to establish the basics for a research-based scholarship.' The contributors address the implications of intergenerational intimacy on a variety of levels--from friendship and companionship through sexual dimensions--and further analyse personal accounts to illustrate how individuals involved in intergenerational intimacy understand themselves and how they construct their concepts of intimacy and sexual identity. Contributors also deal with intergenerational intimacy behaviours that require counseling, treatment, and psychotherapeutic interventions from a positive approach. Finally, separate chapters deal with criminology issues and penal codes as they relate to the subject area. Manny probably knows how to download this work online. (thanks in advance)
