BoyLovers and their travels around the world

There have always been BoyLovers, and their will always be BoyLovers. We have existed since time immemorial, forming relationships with boys wherever we are, and wherever we go. Just like (so-called) "normal" people do!

In ancient times, there were travelers -- seafarers, the men who went to sea to fish, to explore, or to conquer other lands. On board the ships there were often adolescent boys, boys who went to sea seeking adventure. As they were young, they were open to new ideas, and new experiences, as are most young people -- or at least, as young people should be -- today young people are cocooned in "bubble wrap" to "protect" them from "the evil which is everywhere". What a shame that is!

On the ships, there were men of all kinds: mostly good men, some fairly good man, a few not so good men, and rarely some very bad men. And, too, among the crew there were (a few) BoyLovers. The BoyLovers would often befriend the adolescent boys (as is natural for BoyLovers to do) and even engage in sexual relationships with the (all too willing!) boys. Both found physical and emotional satisfactions in their relationships.

But life is not perfect. Sometimes (rarely) an adolescent male would be raped by an unscrupulous man -- a heterosexual man, I may add. Yes, it happened. But it was not very common, and the other crew members would (usually) come to the defense of the boy. They themselves had been young, too, once upon a time. They knew how the boy felt!

Of course, no one thought anything at all about the relationships between the BoyLovers and the boys. After all, those relationships were obviously very positive, and to the advantage of the both of them!

Sometimes the BoyLovers would end up in ports-of-call where the cultures were sex positive -- many of the tropical island cultures thought nothing about being having lots of sex -- they were "sexually liberated". To them, sex was just a part of life, like eating and sleeping and all the other bodily needs.

To the BoyLover, it was nice, and all. But it wasn't all that different from the situation in his home country at that time -- there he had his "young friends," and the neighbors knew about it and they might smirk a little, but -- hey -- the boys were all happy, so what did it matter?

Then came the "age of air travel". The first travelers were businessmen, sent by their companies to transact company business. When one of them was a BoyLover coming from a sexually repressive culture, and he was sent to a "sexually liberated" culture, why -- he thought that he had died and gone to heaven! He would be in such demand by the young gays (for his white skin, his height, and his big nose!) And younger boys were eager to be his friends, too. It was an honor for them -- it gave them "face" -- to have a foreigner as a friend. And if the foreigner wanted to play around and have sex with the boys -- so what? Everybody else was doing it, too.

But please note - females did not always have the same freedoms sexually as the males did. But among males, having sex was something that -- if both wanted to do it -- was just fine. The women? Well, they may or may not have known about what the men and boys were up to, but it didn't matter to them at all. "Boys will be boys," after all...

Well, the age of air travel then became more mature. More tourists started traveling -- and some of them were BoyLovers, too. Almost none of them had any idea about the sexual freedoms of the boys and men in the countries they traveled to, but they soon learned! Most of the local boys, and many of the men, were available "at the drop of a hat". Hey, sex is fun, isn't it?

Some of the sex would be of a casual sort -- a man and a boy would meet, and there would be an attraction -- so, off to bed they went! The boys thought nothing of it. The BoyLovers, of course, liked the boys, and would give them gifts of money, clothes, and other things. It wasn't prostitution -- it was just the BoyLover wanting to make the boys happy, and make the boys' lives a little easier. In fact, there was very little -- if any at all -- male (or boy) prostitution. Why would there be, when most of the men and boys were all looking for friendship and fun, so everywhere you looked, there were boys who were willing to go with you -- for free, of course!

Then, in the late '70s, things began to change. In their Western home countries, BoyLovers began to sense that "the tide was turning" -- more and more BoyLovers were being arrested and imprisoned, where before they had just been ignored (maybe laughed at, a little) and -- as long as the boys were happy -- nobody had minded. But this began to change with the rise of the third-wave radical feminist movement (which painted all men with the very broad "rapist" brush). Then the feminists and the right-wing conservative Republicans joined forces "to combat sex deviants" -- which, by their definition, included homosexuals (think "Anita Bryant"). Ah, but the gays fought back! For the first time in modern history, the gays went public! They fought hard against the sexophobes and the antisexuals! And -- surprise, surprise -- they won the battle!

Well, these feminist groups and (repressed homosexual) right-wing conservative Republicans needed a new target. And who would that target be? Why, BoyLovers, of course! There weren't enough of the BoyLovers for them to effectively fight back, so it was easy to tell all kinds of lies about them! Which they did...

"Child pornography" became the buzzword. The feminists were not having much luck demonizing heterosexuals for their interest in (so-called) "pornography," so they focused their sights on an easy target -- "poor little helpless children are being taken advantage of by the big bad pedophiles, and forced to pose for -- oooh, dirty pictures!"

Well, the conservative right-wing U.S. congressmen saw an opportunity here -- they passed all kinds of insane laws about pictures, and sex, and everything. And they lied through their teeth about BoyLovers (maybe they didn't want to admit that they themselves were involved in "questionable relationships" with young girls, and wanted to divert attention from themselves).

It worked. The "pedophile monster" now became the number one enemy! The monster had to be, at all costs, vanquished!

Well, the BoyLovers were struck dumb by all this. How could all these people have suddenly gotten so up-in-arms about friendships that the boys were very happy with, and more than willing to engage in? Had these people gone mad?

Short answer -- yes. They had all lost their minds.

Anyway, BoyLovers more and more were traveling abroad, where they could just be themselves. Why, they could even walk down the street holding hands with their "young friends," and no one thought anything about it!

Ah, but then some of those crazy adults from the Western countries saw the foreign men with the local boys, and decided that "the pedophile monsters" were (somehow) "abusing" these "poor, innocent native boys".

How much farther from the truth could they get?

Well, then these madmen (actually, more "madwomen" than "madmen") started telling lies to the natives about how "wicked" and "evil" the foreign BoyLovers really were. Of course, most of the natives just laughed at these crazy foreigners, but some of them -- often the ones who had been sent to be "educated" in the Western countries when they were young (those who came from rich and influential families, of course) -- came back home to their own countries with some (now) very twisted ideas about sex and morality, and about "right" and "wrong".

These people joined together with the crazy foreigners and began campaigns to "fight the pedophile monsters". Again, the BoyLovers were absolutely astounded -- how could this be? Their young friends were happy, the parents of their young friends were happy, all the neighbors were happy, and then along come these "nutcases" with their crazy and bizarre ideas, spouting all kinds of lies!

Well, to cut a long story short, NGOs then jumped on the bandwagon (they could get lots of money from the Western governments "to fight this menace" [which they did - they got lots of money!]), and the locals who worked for the NGOs could make a lot more money fighting for this "cause" than they could in a regular job. So they were very enthusiastic about it all!

And the lies became bigger and bigger. The oppression grew stronger and stronger, and the very rare cases of real abuse (which, in fact, hardly ever happened) were trumpeted as "proof" about the "evil BoyLovers".

Then the women at the United Nations got involved -- it was, after all, these "evil male rapists" with their "paternalistic attitudes towards women" that were "raping the natives". The men in the U.N. had to go along, or they, too, would be viciously attacked by these crazies.

See, the vast majority of the tourists were heterosexual men, and, as is normal for heterosexual men, they preferred younger women - physically mature, but often below the (now increased) "age of consent" in their own countries. And a very small percentage of these men were "not nice people" -- they would just have quickie sex with the females, not caring at all how the girls felt about it. They would often pay money for sex (BoyLovers didn't have to pay money to have friends who wanted sex -- all the sex that they wanted was free!).

So laws were passed about "giving anything in return for sex" (which wasn't what was going on with BoyLovers -- it was just the nice BoyLovers taking good care of their young friends), and governments (led by the women, of course) started passing more and more new laws against so-called "sex tourism" (most of which was just heterosexual men having sex with younger women in the countries that they visited -- they didn't go for the sex -- they just found it when they got there!)

But these laws are not being used to "catch the heterosexuals" having sex with teenage girls. No. They are only being used against the BoyLovers!

BoyLover "sex tourism", if it exists at all, was actually created by these crazies themselves, (along with the beginnings of any prostitution and other real sexual abuse of local boys) by making the lives of the BoyLovers so miserable in their own countries in the first place!

And here we are today. All these crazy accusations about so-called "sex tourism," "rape" of the locals, etc. etc.

Yeah, yeah, yeah -- there are some "bad men" who use others and then throw them away. But, like on the ships of old, others around them (including the natives) would not approve, and would step in and stop most real abuses.

But the sexophobic crazies are finding monsters and demons everywhere they look, and treating anything to do with "sex" as being "evil". The witch hunt is on! The witches are everywhere! Find them! Stop them! Kill them! Burn them!

Meanwhile, all those boys who could have had a nice BoyLover friend now cannot. So the boys lose the friendships they would have had (which included, as I said, help with the boys' education, help to their families, better health care, and so on. You know, the things that nice normal people do to help the other people whom they know and like.)

Not to mention the sex, which, after all, the boys still would love to have with the foreigners!

But, with BoyLovers, it is not all about sex. It is all about friendship! The sex is just the frosting on the cake, so to speak. But try to convince those sexophobic crazies of that fact! Fat chance!

You can't convince them because the truth is, they are stark raving mad!

Something really should be done to stop them...
