Awww, ((hugs))

You're a sweetheart. The thing that shocked me the most was how STUPID I was for not realising this was about love and not just sex.

Stupid? I wouldn't say that, but you did, so that's fine with me. XD

Yes, we do not think of kids as sexual objects (personally I considered the hysterical public afraid of people like us see children as objects far more than we do)

For me, befriending children, and spending time with them, and developing relationships with them, just so we can have sex with them, is like flying on a commercial airliner so I could get the free salted peanuts. There's more to the relationship than that, and I doubt most people see their girlfriends, boyfriends or spouses in those simplistic terms.

I wish they could spend as much time as possible without knowing about [sex]!

Oh, don't worry, they think about anyway. Hey, don't think relationships are harder for them than they are for us--whether it be the parents spying on us constantly and not letting us have a single peaceful moment with our LGF, or the sad day when she grows up and passes our age of attraction. Painful. =(

And my niece is not a teen yet, that's gonna be horrible... *looks at future* *headdesks*

I think all of us hear would agree with that. XD

I'm not probably gonna stay active on the board but those men took their time to answer me and they deserve my gratitude." And you deserve it WAY more than I deserved your answers. Thank you once more.

Your Welcome. ;) But the best way to thank us--well, me anyway--is to tell these things you've learned to EVERYONE YOU CAN! I may not ever live in a paradise where both I and young girls can express themselves sexually with whomever they love, even if it's with (gasp) someone who happens to be older/younger, but I will settle for this: a world where I am not afraid that I might lose my job, or have my car vandalized, or lose any chance of having children of my own, or have my house burned down, or maybe even be murdered because some guy felt the need to post my name online for all ignorant pedophobes to see. The opinions of individuals just like you might change that someday, but I'll be an old man dying in my bed before that happens.
