It is a quandry really, when one writes stories, that you want to be as realistic as possible, yet are hamstrung by the reluctance of society to accept that sex is natural. And I mean any sex, really, not just gay sex. I am referring to the laws of what is, and what isn’t acceptible. I mean, this whole concept of protecting children from the evil pornographers, is just really, political & religious crapola.

Parents have the primary obligation of protecting children, and yet, we too, have some obligation, but do we have more than the actual parents? I personally don’t think so, and yet I find myself self censoring mywork, because of the possible ramifications from these zealots, who profess to have the interests of chidlren at heart.

Sex is not something that just happens when you turn Eighteen.

Yet society today, in most civilized nations, seem to think that kids younger than eighteen are not sexually curious, or active. I frankly don’t understand this ‘ostrich‘ attitude of society. Kids are friggin parents at 14 and 15, and yet it is thought to be a rarity. I don’t know, but it seems to me, that simple denial of the truth, isn’t going to make it happen less often.

You know, I wonder about people a lot, and about myself as well. I think at times that somehow the population has gotten dumber, or has simply turned their back on values and ethics. Yet perhaps, the fault lies with me, or my inability to change with the times. I don’t know which, because to me, being nice is easier than being a dick head, yet it seems more & more people are looking for fights, for arguments, instead of calm discussion.

Words like ‘boy’ become taboo in erotic writing, because some uptight zealot construes the meaning to be about underage children, or thinks it is some hidden code word for the evil Gay Agenda. ( By the way, I am still trying to find anyone who can enlightened me on just what is the Gay Agenda, and I have been out and proud for over 30 years now, & I still don’t know. ) Today it seems that nothing is judged on its context, but on the word itself.

Kids are taught to say ‘that is so gay’ in a derogatory way, ( meaning lame ) which makes me wonder, what is it about parents today? Oh hell, never mind parents how about leaders like George Bush, Stephen Harper, & Pope Benedict? What the hell did some gay do to them, that they revile homosexuals so much?

WORSE is that it makes writing more difficult. It creates a false impression of life, which it shouldn’t. Oh sure, some write simply to get people off, but many also try to use their writing abilities, to bridge gaps between the sides, between the factions of society. Maybe it is me, maybe I am imagining that having a bridge between those who oppose homosexuality and those who embrace it, is wrong. Yet something inside, says bridges have to be built, have to be constructed, if society itself is to survive.

Maybe it comes from wanting to just have our heads buried in the sand, but I don’t know, how many true to life 20 year old virgins do you know? When did you first experience sex, when you were eighteen or a darn site younger? See, that is what gets me, we say kids aren’t legal until eighteen, that certain things can’t be discussed, can’t be shown, but we forget, we knew it pretty well long before our eighteenth birthday.
