Thanks for your encouragement, Gimwinkle!

"I am considering passing this list on to my family who knows about me and my past."

I'd really be very pleased and flattered if you did. I started writing this when an old-time friend I'd recently 'come out of the toy cupboard' to was surprised and curious about the idea that there were philosophical, sociological, psychological and scientific justifications for child-adult sexual interactions.

We had an interesting exchange of emails, but he lost his nerve and said he'd be happier having the discussion face to face rather than in cyber-space. I said I'd work on something which would give him an overview of my/our position.

So I hope that it might be effective in making some people think a bit about the issues and ideas involved, and make them question the unthinking mantras and slogans which constitute the 'case' of the popular media and the hate-mobs.
