By Gerald Moonen, New Zealand 2006 "5. During late childhood and adolescence a male child has what is known as a “homosexual” period. During this period this young person seeks the confirmation of his sexuality from other males, which includes his peers and adults. It is in this period that in a normal and free society the adult would pass to the young some of his life’s experiences amongst which could be the art of loving. In the past he would also pass on his professional knowledge and qualities as in a master - apprentice situation."

"8. It has been proven by science that most people have an innate attraction to younger people. In most people this propensity has not developed any further than an embryonic stage. However I believe that there are a small proportion of people in whom this predisposition has naturally developed into an important part of their lives, and express themselves sexually accordingly. Others have been exposed to sexual repression as is practiced in our puritanical society and have developed an arrested sexual development and have sexually not developed beyond the age of a young person. They too will express themselves sexually accordingly to their appropriate sexual age of their development. This perfectly normal human behaviour has now been criminalised and replaced the target of what used to be the homosexuals."

"9. In paragraph No 5, I explain that many young people seek a sexual confirmation and guidance from older people. I believe that the people mentioned in paragraph 8 are naturally inclined to be responsive to these needs of young people. I do not see such relationships as criminal, but have to do with love, confirmation, education and the passing on of life’s experiences."

"16. The puritanical fascist repression of sexuality in our society has destroyed the beneficial aspects of the relationships between young and old and has created a chasm that is detrimental to the development of young people."

"This feeling of unease is translated in witch-hunts and scapegoating, as society does not want to see the positive value of change. The people who have suffered most from this are the prosecuted minorities, such as women, Jews, Negroes, the gypsies, homosexuals, communists in the McCarthy era, and presently the paedophiles."

"I had great difficulties with this anger during my adolescence, as the total of my sexual development was repressed through the "moral" teachings of the Catholic church. Looking at this now, I see what was done to me as a case of severe sexual abuse. I still see sexual repression, especially that of young people, as one of the biggest moral evils that we have in our society."

"Society is still brainwashing our young people with dubious restrictive and repressive sexual instructions, which can lead to arrested developments. I believe that sexual repression of young people is one of the biggest sins that our society is presently committing. The other one is the indoctrination of violence.

I have a grave suspicion that most violence could be caused by repressed sexuality and stifled intimacy in childhood. The authorities and the laws still don’t see the difference between abusive and loving relationships. The oppressive laws, which govern consensuality, age and sexuality, do not take in consideration the quality of the relationships. Therefore innocent people who have done nothing more than love, are thrown in jail with lengthy sentences that are similar as for murder!"

"We seem to have lost the knowledge of a basic human fact that:

CONSENTUAL SEX, LOVE AND INTIMACY CAN BE EXCHANGED WITHOUT HARM BETWEEN ANY TWO PEOPLE, regardless of gender, creed, color, age, race etc."
