Loving Boys, Vol. II

Short Reviews

The second volume takes up the difficult subject of the negative aspects of man/boy relations, real and imaginary. It contrasts the effects of sexual repression and sexual liberation. The final chapter is devoted to an extensive description of just what transpires during sexual contacts between men and boys --- how they are brought about, what precisely happens, and how different kinds of contact within different kinds of relationships are viewed by both of the involved participants.
