Re: Oh my...

True, i have never been in a close relationship with a little girl. I have had a close, romantic (but non-sexual) relationship with a girl my own age -- we dated with the understanding that neither of us was actually sexually attracted to the other -- and i did find myself wanting to hurt her. I didn't, of course -- but the desire was still there.

I have no idea how i'd ever develop a close friendship with a little girl. Aside from those in my fantasy world, LG's are not a part of my everyday life.

And a few years ago i accidently told some of my thoughts to a "friend," who then told the administrators of my college about it, and i was required to go through a psychiatric evaluation. I was declared to be "not dangerous" -- which i'm not -- but i'm almost positive that if i were male, they would have locked me up. I'm sure you are very aware that there is a lot of sexism in the judgement of one's "dangerousness," especially when it comes to an attraction to children.

In any case, I was in a very bad mood last night, but have calmed down a lot since then. Thank you all for your thoughts.
