A lot of gay men's "Coming Out" stories --- this is a substantial autobiographical genre --- are congruent with the stories of the gay men I personally know best: they were molested, seduced or raped by older men.
So it seems that either "a great many" gay men will hit on an adolescent when they have the opportunity, OR there are just a mere handful of pederasts out there, who are rather overworked: I mean they must have each violated dozens or scores of boys.
I don’t know how this could be quantified -— and I don’t want to engage in slander against homosexual men in general, surely.
It’s interesting that your experience is not the same as mine. Those gay men I know (my cousin being one of them) were not sexually abused by older men (as far as I know of course). Perhaps that is why I have a different take on this. I would love to see (reliable, non-biased) statistics if there are any out there.
Also, it seems as if you’re saying that most gay men become gay because they are molested, seduced or raped. Do you believe then that it is a choice vs being born as such? I thought the Church taught that they were born with the inclination.
