Semantics: seeing I to I, or not?
Many people have differing opinions and regurgitated definitions of what certain words mean. I respect personal opinions whether I agree with them or not, but I make a *”so-so”/”really?”* looking face when somebody digs up a dictionary or DSM definition of word. Specifically, I am talking about the words pedophile, boylover, and child molester. New […]
UK: Criminalizing Child Erotica in Cartoons and Sketches. A Step Too Far?
Yesterday, the UK’s ‘Ministry of Justice’ (do they also have Ministries of Truth, Peace, Love and Plenty?) announced plans to implement new legislation, criminalizing possession of cartoons, drawings and sketches of child erotica. This announcement follows a ‘public consultation’ last June. The full Report, published yesterday, is available in .pdf format from: http://www.justice.gov.uk/publications/non-photographic-depictions.htm). In summary: […]
Too Young For Euphoria?
Round n round n round I spun at age nine, arms floating wide in the open air; almost as if being helicopter propellers. Sometimes, I’d even lift my feet off the ground testing if I could stay off the ground…I always crashed on the floor, of course… I remember back to days long before the […]
Byron confronts a pedophile on BBC television
On May 5, 2008, the BBC broadcast an edition of ‘Am I normal?’ on the subject of sex, presented by the media-friendly clinical psychologist Tanya Byron. It included an interview with a pedophile; an ‘out’ (but non-practising) girl-lover, who has been bravely campaigning for wider acceptance of child-love and for the abolition of age-of-consent laws […]
The Dangers of Sex Abuse Therapy
The standard ‘therapy’ for ‘sexually abused’ children and adolescents is not only pointless, but positively harmful when applied to those who have been involved in consensual relationships. Try to put yourself into the mind of a child or adolescent who has been willingly involved in sex acts with an adult. You may already have been […]
Finkelhor’s Flaws: Why David Finkelhor is misguided on child-adult sex
At http://www.ipce.info/library_3/files/fink_baus_91.htm David Finkelhor says this: Ultimately, I do continue to believe that the prohibition on adult-child sexual contact is primarily a moral issue. While empirical findings have some relevance they are not the final arbiter. The social judgment that slavery is reprehensible would not have been challenged by empirical findings that some slaves felt […]
Mind out for Mindspeak…
…Daniel Lièvre’s rebuttal of AMC’s March 13 article for Absolute Zero (an anti-pedophile organisation). The article concerned appears to be an attempt to use cherry-picked and unsupported medical literature to (illegitimately) justify the current trend of intense hatred directed towards minor attracted persons – a group, it appears, taxonomically confused with child sex offenders and […]
The Words They Are A-Changin’
Our ‘culture’ consists of the knowledge and values transmitted by our language. In the process of learning language, we learn the meanings that other people have ascribed to particular words and phrases. “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean – […]
To Be Of Service: Your Political “Duty”, as a Sexual Deviant…
So many of the problems surrounding our modern, “sex is abuse” approach, spring forward from our action of trying to box the entire issue up into a, “sex is this” and “sex is not that” kind of indoctrination. …Does someone, somewhere “own” the patent on the entire idea of sex?… …Apparently, some people have fooled […]
