I can certainly relate :)

Hi, Guardian,

I am often quite depressed over our community's current state of affairs, i.e., that most of us are limited by the law as to what types of relationships we can form with the girls that we love in our respective AOA. Most often, when I want some romantic companionship, I am forced to seek out women close to my age group for this. Other times I'm lucky enough to meet a very special woman in her early 20's like Sweet, who I can see in person legally.

But in terms of the girls who form my primary physical, emotional, and spiritual desires (in my case, generally ages 12-15) I too have no choice but to admire from afar, be it an adolescent actress whom I really admire and adore on TV or at the movies, a pic of a teen model, or vicariously through a GM we often find in the community here (as well as sharing some of my own). I also realize that many of us pro-choicers seem to be praying for the proverbial salvation without doing much to achieve our joint goals of MAA and youth emancipation. As such, I will take every little pleasure that I can get right now, including GM's; hence, I will not cease making or reading them. However...never will I simply be content to settle for them and never do anything within legal bounds to change our situation. I will always do everything I possibly can as an activist, MAA scribe, and YList to effect a change in our situation.

It's also quite true, of coarse, that the matter of money prevents many of us from moving to a nation that is more relaxed with its AOC laws. In fact, I plan on one day moving to Canada, whose AOC is 14; as a hebe, I would be able to legally date girls offline who are more in tune with my primary AOA. This will give me a break, of course, but NEVER will I simply sit down and not oppose the constant attacks on us and our rights by the Western world, with the U.S. and the U.K. at the forefront of the hysteria. Such a change in location would simply assist me personally for the short run, but I will always keep my eye on our long range goals.

It's nice to see a fellow pro-choicer out there who is inclined to remind us where our main priorities need to lie :) Thanks a bunch, Guardian!!

Your friend,
