30 LC stories  

Please note that in previous editions of this book, this section included the case of Allen Ginsberg. I've decided to delete it from this edition, because of strong rumors that Ginsberg was himself a 'pedophile'.

LC-05 Arno

“Catholic priests have given me some of the best blow jobs of my life.”

LC-07  Dan Savage - I initiated them and cherish their memory 
"It's absurd to think that what I did at fifteen would be considered “child sexual abuse”, or lumped together by lazy researchers with the incestuous rape of a five-year-old girl.” 

LC-08 Dave Douglas - 'If anything, we seduced her' 
"Now, of course, the law would jail the girls for rape. And this is the trouble: you can talk up a case of ‘abuse’ by altering the meaning of facts and terminology, making this whole thing complex and difficult when really it’s a perfectly natural process. The law today would say I had been a ‘victim’. Actually, I wasn’t, and no-one had done anything remotely wrong."

Noted gay novelist Edmund White talks about picking up men at Chicago beaches and public restrooms from the age of thirteen or fourteen.

LC-15 I found it fascinating
Clarissa shares an early sexual experience on an ocean voyage to Brazil with her family. She was probably around six or seven years old. ... "There was a steward who in exchange for comics lured me to a bathroom and got me to wank him off. I found this fascinating ... My mother made no fuss to me so I suffered no trauma ...

LC-17 Larry - I did give him a lot of power but he didn’t know that

I'm glad it happened. I learned stuff. And I don’t believe I was at all harmed. [...] If you want to say I was very lucky, I won't argue."

LC-25 Shortest shorts 
"The imitative always came from me. I used to wear my shortest and cutest shorts ... [...]
I am only sorry that I never had what I was really looking for: an older friend with whom I could enjoy not only sex but all kinds of things, someone who could teach me about everything."

LC-26 The pleasure was mutual, the fault, if any, mine - Tom Driberg
Here are a few fragments taken from passages excerpted from Driberg’s autobiography by Marshall Burns for Consenting Juveniles:
