Few sources are available describing the process in ancient Greece of preparing the family and the boy for the "kidnap" ritual, and the subsequent capture and captivity of the boy under the mentorship of the man. This article, flawed as it is, has some details on that, so I linked to it. All the Dionysiac mysteries stuff is irrelevant crap. Most sources on man/boy relations are a mix of truth/interesting information liberally interwoven with bullshit. You have to sift through all the crap to glean some gems... Articles like this are useful for pulling good quotes out of, and ignoring the rest. Few people, given a quote, will bother to read the entire article... M. Strangely enough, the inclusion of extraneous crap is often also true of writings by BoyLovers themselves, as well as by BoyLove apologists! It's a shame that the translator of Brongersma's second volume of Loving Boys was so sloppy, and, for example, "lust" from the Dutch was not correctly translated into the various innocuous variations available in English (among other errors in the text). His first volume is available in a German translation, so one can check for English translation errors. Unfortunately, the second volume appears not to be available anywhere in the original Dutch, or in any translation other than English. The point being, you have to take the good with the bad, don't you? Loving Boys by Edward Brongersma: A German translation, with what Frans (of ipce.info) would call "pretty pictures" (nude boys, nothing sexual) at the end is available here: http://www.czyborra.com/pedofiles/brongersma/boekdelen.pdf An expurgated edition of the German translation (one without the "pretty pictures") is available here: https://www.ipce.info/booksreborn/loving_boys__das_padosexuelle_abenteuer-_deutsche_ausgabe_des_niederlandischenvol_1.pdf ... BUT ipce.info appears to be down at the moment, and I have no idea why... |
