The ridiculous ideas or feelings I meant is the internalised form of the attack on innocent spontaneous affection.
In the 50s Australia was positively neanderthal when it came to anything resembling homosexuality. And the very term homosexuality fills me with annoyance. I often wish humans would shut the f*ck up. Anyway kids (adolescents, can the paedophile question be far behind me here?) play, sometimes it leads to sex, which is cool by me. In fact, in a boarding school, before puberty around age 11, there was a kid of non-sexual sex (if I can so term it) which was a reasonable substitute for the absence of any parental affection coupled with the kind of awful treatment from the masters, a delightful term I will retain to give you the correct feel. This happy time ended at puberty when sex drive kicked in and the power of the (social) state (I almost feel) was marshaled to seek out and destroy some for the edification of others. You always need a few victims to keep people on their toes.
So the ideas are ridiculous because they are, but also because they are unkind, and because they are so ignorant and so middle class 50s respectable. Just ghastly.
So much more acceptable to cane a whole room full of boys in their pyjamas after lights out for talking. That is nice and clean. But God forbid any boy should love another. That is why I was quoting Jesus.
No there are no secrets. Well, not from me and my wife, but we tried being real to each other ages ago. But I don't want to talk about what we did in front of his new partner.
