The Way Forward?
November 11th, 2010What exactly is the best way forward for the minor attracted movement in a world whose hostility seems as unrelenting as ever? In any radical movement there is a division between the ‘purists’ and the ‘pragmatists’. The purists seek the retention of simple undiluted principles and resist compromises aimed at short-time gain. NAMBLA is an […]
Byron confronts a pedophile on BBC television
May 9th, 2008On May 5, 2008, the BBC broadcast an edition of ‘Am I normal?’ on the subject of sex, presented by the media-friendly clinical psychologist Tanya Byron. It included an interview with a pedophile; an ‘out’ (but non-practising) girl-lover, who has been bravely campaigning for wider acceptance of child-love and for the abolition of age-of-consent laws […]
“Sex before eight, or else it’s too late.”
January 12th, 2008The infamous slogan of the title is said to be the motto of the René Guyon Society.

“Child” and “Sex”: Two false and conflicting constructs
September 4th, 2007Child Do “children” really have any grounding in nature? By a grounding in nature, I mean a correlate in human genetics.

August 16th, 2007Roger Moody, the British libertarian journalist and boylover, charged with indecent assault in 1977 (and acquitted in 1979), penned the following words in 1980: “The child-lover is no revolutionary yet. Pedophiles are trying to be acceptable, but will soon discover that they are unacceptable to everyone. Out of that will come change. The acceptance of […]
Demonstrative post: The rights of children
July 23rd, 2007In starting this blog, I’ve got to make absolutely clear what I intend it to be used for. This has been done in part, via private e.mails, but let’s now make a public demonstration of it. I will re-post one of my own pieces from my old website. It relates to the rights of children, […]
