as a 'noob'...

Well, I am one of the newbs here.
I find a lot of the discussion quite interesting and even useful in understanding our problems.
The links and other references to reading materials are very useful.
The gms are also useful in inferstanding that we are indeed not alone in feeling the way we do towards minors. From the simple smile from a lg, to more involved contacts. Others do enjoy them, the lgs can remain unharmed by our attentions.
It all goes together and makes this place what it is, a place we whose orientation would render our lives difficult, if not impossible, if too widely known in public.
It is a sanctuary of sorts, though we must of course remain aware that those who would make our lives difficult are here as well.
I am quite happy to have stumbled upon a link to this place. :)
