Guys in their 20s may think that their next sexual experience with a woman that's all that matters. As they grow in age and wisdom they understand that the other parts of those encounters matter even more. That doesn't mean sex drive plays no role. Nor should this be taken as justification for locking people in cages for sharing intimacy with a boy. It just means that sex should not be the most important part of your relationship. One of the things that hurts most about my situation facing criminal charges is that I lost all the non-sexual parts of my relationships and all the things I loved most about those boys. And what did I get in return? Two orgasms (neither of them mine). I still strongly support legal reform. Mutually agreed and enjoyed sexual intimacy shouldn't result in prison, especially not the decades' long sentences it results in now. But people who put sex before relationships are making a mistake. They aren't focused on what is really important. |
