MAP Forum

In cases of truly consensual and reasonable relationships between adults and teenagers I think if they are caught, based on "victim statement," presenting a positive light of the relationship, it should be a very light sentence like community service or something like that rather than jail, and ...

I think the answers make it clear that this is a very complex question. There’s no straightforward answer. It all depends on many factors. The answer to “What’s the best country to be a MAP?” depends heavily on all sorts of variables:
-For being a non-offending MAP or for actually engaging in sex ...

I agree with most of you here: most of the damage is caused by society's attitudes. As in almost all similar cases. It's not just that there are cases where the relationship is not inherently harmful and all the damage comes from social attitudes... it's that the entire social and legal system is ...

The parallels between children and women in terms of “let's strip them of all their rights and freedoms for their own good” are very strong; it's impossible for everyone to ignore them. There have been many ...

I do sympathise with the OP but the only question is how to respond to an unjust, insane world that just wants to hurt you.

My philosophy has always been that if I'm surrounded by people who hate me and want to see me fail then the best response is to be happy and succeed because that p*sses them ...

I find it increasingly difficult to believe that "child welfare advocates" are genuinely concerned about the welfare of children. This woman seems to be fully aware that she is tearing teenagers from the arms of their lovers, against their will, and often returning them to homes where they are ...

I found a very interesting paper. It's from the University of Texas, but it's about Spanish cinema. The Queer Child in the Nuevo Cine Español, by Jorge Perez, published in 2017:
