Re: The paradox of child love (GM).

As much as I find it hard to accept this to be true, I have eventually reached a point of conclusion that "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". When one observes how lustful, infatuated and fascinated most men "appear" to be by legel aged women (or other men for that matter), I am kind of guessing that what they are looking at in THEIR ideal partners gives them the same emotional reactions and desires as what WE as MAA's experience from OUR ideal partners. When I was younger, I used to view paedophilia as something that was of the highest most refined exquisite taste, almost of the "devine"- and therefore something that only great men of high castes-kings, princes, high priests, gods and connoisseurs alike were known for having a disposition towards...I had gradually built up this impression from what I had read in many books about the history of paedophilia, that it was the sport of Gods and Kings...thus, I had almost become "elitist" in my conclusion that surely only those of the most refined of breeding could appreciate the most refined of sexual desires. I used to think that only those of good noble breeding could appreciate paedophilia. Later though, I had to get down off my high horse and just accept that there are obviously many others out there of the many various sexual orientations that feel just the same towards their objects of desires as we do....unless of course, their attractions are simply ostensible and pretentious?
