Investigated whether sexual relations with an adult can be a positive experience for a child. Subjects were 25 10-16 yr old boys who were then involved in pedophiliac relationships with adult males. Subjects were located through their adult partners, who in turn were approached through pedophile workgroups. Although Subjects were able to point to some negative aspects of their sexual contacts, most of them reported experiencing these contacts as predominantly positive. The sexual contacts had no negative influence on Subjects' sense of general well-being, nor did the Subjects perceive in these contacts a misuse of authority by the adult.
