The Spring 2024 issue of the B4U-ACT Quarterly Review was recently released here:
https://www.b4uact.org/b4qr_spring_2024_announcement/
For those that have read it I'm wondering if you found anything from the six studies interesting or worth sharing? I'll leave my own thoughts here later, too.

Re: B4QR Volume 4, Issue 2
I have alerted Thorn, who is the reviewer of the review, who will find bits to post about.

Re: B4QR Volume 4, Issue 2
I always love reading B4QR. There is something very amusing to me about watching the reviewers tongue lash academics for being disrespectful of MAPs, and then reading the contrite replies those academics write back apologising for being rude to pedophiles.
Didn't see that shit 20 years ago.

This is further proof that the world is slowly changing for us, and that is why it is so important to keep fighting for our rights.
We are people, not monsters. It’s not our fault that others persecute us for who we are

Re: B4QR Volume 4, Issue 2
Yes, and we can thank NOMAP for this. I don't agree with the anti-contact position, but I will continue to offer them support because they are doing some good work.
Re: B4QR Volume 4, Issue 2
For what it's worth, B4U-ACT is not anti-contact. I guess they are NOMAP, in the sense that they strongly encourage people to not break the law. But they take a stance of careful strategic ambiguity on what the law should be with regard to the contact issue.
VP was very much created as a dissent to B4U-ACT's careful silence on the contact topic. (At least, that's been my impression from talking to people at VP and B4U-ACT.)

Re: B4QR Volume 4, Issue 2
It's true that B4U-Act is contact-neutral, but their rise coincided with the rise of media focused on "pathological pedophiles". "I'm not a monster, I just need help" is the last decade's message, and it's been an important one. I think B4U-Act still has a strong role going forward in promoting that message. But I think something that next-gen anti-c MAPs agree with pro-cs on is that MAP sexuality isn't something to be suppressed or ashamed of. It is not a curse that has to be borne. It is a valid sexuality and should be embraced as far as possible within the bounds of the law.

The Autumn B4QR was just released. I haven't read it myself yet, but hope to over the next few days.

Re: B4QR New Volume
It's always useful to have more than one reviewing new material. At one point, it was only one person who published their observations on a site (Ipce). His age now makes it hard to see.
