>In part this is because we live in a completely psychotic, gynocratic and sexually-obsessed society irreversibly poisoned by identity politics and individualism, which considers every relationship and bonding interaction through the lens of shallow carnal desire, while at the same time collectively reaching insane levels of paranoid hysteria towards the slightest hints of pedophilia, problematic age gaps and imbalanced power dynamics between individuals.
Couldn't have said it better myself. To add on to what this anon
>>3979997 was saying; platonic love seems to be a forgotten expression. I'm absolutely certain that being an adult male and being in this thread would out me as a creep to almost all normies. The average person can't comprehend or understand why someone like me would want to return to his boyhood or why I'm so fixated on the goodness, beauty, and social problems facing boys today. "He must be some sort of pervert," they think. They can't comprehend what my childhood boy friends meant to me, and how those friends gave me my most intimate, vulnerable relationships I ever had both physically and emotionally.
AFAIK, Japan doesn't have the hypersensitivity to seeing social interactions as sexual like Westerners do, even though their culture is very sexual in other ways. It's why onsen culture can exist and be a place for boys to be themselves, enjoying each other's company and taking pleasure in their one body without fear or shame. That space is for friends and family much like the Finnish sauna. Pushing sex or sexuality onto a behavior or experience only puts barriers or limits to friendships; for boys that's "no homo," or sarcastically saying "that's gay." A boy can't just casually hug his best friend or even share a mutual, loving embrace for an extended period of time anymore without having a qualifier to emphasize that what they're doing isn't "gay."
