I have noticed a slight trend in the posts where the author tells a little about themselves. It was noted somewhere below (I don't remember who) that more than a few of the posters here have special feeling for boys. What I have noticed is that most who have said so are now or have been happily married and have children of their own.



Is this a product of the era we grew up in? Was it internal or external pressure to conform to society's standards that every boy grows up and marrries and continues the family line?



For myself, because I did not communicate my feelings to my family (probably because I wouldn't admit them to myself) there was subtle pressure that I finally gave in to. Not saying that I did not love my wife when we married (and still love her very much to this day) but I now wonder if I married for all the 'right' reasons. Was it a subconscious need to suppress my love for boys? Or a desire to fill the nurturing need by having my own children? To clear the air, I love my three beyond words, but have never felt any sexual draw towards them like I have felt with others. And why is that? In my eyes, my children are beautiful and now that the oldest (16) has a steady I do feel jealosy that he is attracted to another (but that is a whole different question) so why do I not feel the same draw as I do to other boys? I realize they are sexual beings, and have had 'the talk' with both boys (the other is now 13) more than once, but the thought of incest (What an ugly word) has never crossed my mind.



Maybe this should be two different posts, one concerning the marriage line and the other dealing with incest, but I think that in a lot of ways, and particularly following this line of thought, they are relevant to each other.



In case you haven't noticed, I like stirring the pot, hehe.





Hugs to all, Charlie
