I expect simple behaviours here. Friendship, and love. Any advice should be from the perspective of the person asking, not the person giving! We have had to make new membership moderated to combat the huge number of spammers who register
and I might suggest allowing two to five minutes extra to think about sections of the story, if necessary. I have only seen, at most, four authors handle this topic or others in somewhart the same, very serious vein, somewhat well. This story is done very well by the author, and I appreciate it.

I appreciate those thoughts very much, thank you.
There is a background for the story, which I need to attempt without spoilers. A 65 year old friend was, in his teens, in such a relationship with his scoutmaster, and was grateful for it. Except in the eyes of the law he was not a victim and it was not abuse. While we have to trust his judgement on that it also is open to question.
I have tried to present that dilemma in the tale and think, from your comments, that I may have got much of it right. Thank you.
