EXCLUSIVE: Pedophiles Debate “Benefits” of Puberty-Halting Drugs On “Boy Love” Forum

Men involved in one of the longest-running homosexual pro-pedophilia forums have recently been discussing the “benefits” of drugs to halt a child’s puberty. BoyChat, which has been in operation since 1995, was founded by a self-described “boy lover” and operates as a network for men to connect and discuss their pedophilic interest in boys as well as strategies for promoting the normalization of pedophilia.

On October 14, a man using the screen name “Pharmakonposted a statement to BoyChat asserting his belief that puberty should be voluntary, and that the view was only controversial due to transphobic sentiment.

“Puberty comes on average two years sooner than it did a generation ago. Puberty blockers have been used for most of that time to delay ‘precocious puberty,’ but it’s left up to doctors and parents — not kids — to decide what that means. Puberty blockers only became controversial due to trans hate,” he wrote. “Even where giving kids puberty blockers has been made illegal for trans affirmation, it remains legal for cis kids!”

The post concludes by stating, “Puberty blockers should be available on demand so kids who want to can choose when, or if, they will experience puberty.”

Responses to the suggestion were mixed, but prompted widespread discussion on the pedophile forum regarding halting children’s puberty.

“I like the idea of generations – children and parents and grandparents and great grandparents – I like the stages of human life that have been assigned to us by evolution,” another user added, continuing with the suggestion that he found puberty to be sexually arousing.

“I don’t see puberty as a disaster in terms of boyish beauty. Indeed, very much the contrary :). And it seems to me that the developing mind and body and emotions of the adolescent boy, which require adult masculine guidance, provides a vital raison d’etre for pederasty.”

Another user, “Cherubino,” argued that “puberty blockers are reversible” while puberty is not.

“I don’t think any medical facilities or personnel would be willing to perform the surgery on a minor,” he said, referring to genital surgeries that are euphemistically labeled “gender-affirming” care.

“Puberty itself is also not reversible, so delaying it should be an option, and without significant risk or harm compared to the potential benefits,” he added.

In a follow-up discussion of the supposed “benefits” of halting puberty, “Cherubinoremarked: “How about allowing a celebrated boy soprano to extend his career? In any case, it’s a private decision, not your decision nor mine. From a medical ethics POV, it is not the ethical quandary that a surgical intervention presents.”

This is not the first time the issue has been raised within the forum. Last year, “Cherubino” told of how he believes that “all cute boys should get puberty blockers.”

The comment was in response to a discussion on a September 2022 proposed bill, since passed, by California Senator Scott Wiener which established that the state would provide “refuge” for “trans kids” from other states where doctors are prohibited from administering puberty blockers to minors.

Men involved in the BoyChat community often exchange tips on how to avoid law enforcement and advocate for sexual offending against minors. The terms “pro-contact” and “no contact” or “anti-contact” are used to differentiate between those who believe sex with minors should be legalized and those who claim to avoid acting on their urge to abuse.

BoyChat has been running for nearly three decades, and offers a messaging platform for users to speak with each other. The founder of BoyChat, who used the alias “Kasper,” had initially set up the forum as part of a pedophile network called Free Spirits, which he launched in the fall of 1995.

Archived versions of the site show that from its beginning, the forum openly advocated for homosexual pedophilia, or pederasty. The page’s background depicted a pro-pedophilia symbol, a smaller blue triangle inside of a larger triangle, which is described as representing a boy with an adult man.

According to the Free Spirits site, boy love is “a phenomenon of attraction to boys that many males exhibit, in which there are erotic, aesthetic, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Many people call it an orientation just like any other.”

“There is an ethical consensus among the BoyChat community and the keepers of the sites that all forms of non-voluntary sexual contact are to be condemned. Some participants in BoyChat voice their opinions that men should not have sexual contacts with boys when the boys seek it, because they don’t want to risk the dangers of society’s reaction. Others, especially those who sought out relationships with men as boys, say that some boys are harmed when their repeated requests for love and intimacy are rejected, and that it is a natural right that boys be able to make their personal choice,” reads the site’s FAQ page.

The mission statement, adopted July 14, 1997, claims to be “dedicated to promoting open communication among boy lovers, the most underserved and misunderstood sexual minority remaining in today’s human society. Free Spirits sponsors various means through which the international boylove movement can hold ongoing discussions, provide mutual support, and educate the rest of society about this diverse and responsible community.”

The most recent version of the website offers a live chat session called LifeLine. The service is described as “a real-time support chat for people who are attracted to children. Whether you’re a boylover or a girllover, or someone who knows one, we’re here to listen.”

In 1997, one of the founding members of the pedophile network placed an advertisement in a Usenet forum that was aimed at “boy lovers.” Usenet, created in 1980, was one of the very first computer networks and an alternative to the United States military-controlled ARPANET system. It was developed in the US and initially used largely by academics and programmers. Usenet was also the site of some of the FBI’s first computer-related child pornography busts in the mid-90’s, after a ten year-old boy suddenly disappeared and investigators discovered a “larger ring of pedophiles.”

Former president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Ernest E. Allen, commented during a 1997 Senate subcomittee hearing on the proliferation of child pornography on the internet: “A 1995 Carnegie Mellon University study found that over a year and a half period, 83.5 percent of digitized pictures stored on Usenet groups were pornographic in nature. The study also asserted that pedophilic, hebephelic, and paraphiliac images accounted for approximately 3 million downloaded images from an adult online bulletin board.”

He continued: “Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Security and Terrorism in 1995, Postal Inspector Paul Hartman testified that he had previously been convinced that pedophiles were members of an underground subculture with no formal lines of communication — until he discovered the prolific use of computers to exchange information and discuss their sexual desires.”

“Dear Boylovers,” the Usenet post, dated September 27, 1997, began. “Do you ever get tired of looking through newsgroups trying to find information and resources that mean something to you? Are you lonely? Do you sometimes wish you could stop being who you are?”

There is a place on the Internet you can go to find caring support, glean valuable information and make real friends. Free Spirits was founded a few months ago to give you a place to be. It is an exciting, vibrant, growing community and we’d like to invite you to take a look at it. The heart and soul of Free Spirits is BoyChat.”

In January, Reduxx revealed that the general manager of a controversial “child protection organization” which campaigns against child pornography bans and campaigns state representatives demanding child-like sex dolls be kept legal had been posting in BoyChat about his pedophilic interest in young boys.

Prescott Bayern, the general manager of Prostasia, posted to BoyChat in 2022 that he was “the definition of a ‘dirty old man.’” He continued: “I can no longer go out to find the boys who need me, so, I have set traps just outside of the front yard fence. One day, I’ll catch one.”

Bayern has been active in a variety of online forums advocating for adult-child sexual relations. In one post, he announced that he was going to masturbate to the sight of children to emphasize that pedophilic fantasies and “thought crimes” could not be policed.

In June, Reduxx was the first to report that an academic at Canada’s McGill University had been soliciting members of the pro-pedophile forum for anonymous research, while promising to protect their identities regardless of any sexual offending against minors committed by survey participants.

The survey, created by psychology PhD researcher Julia Levitan, also inquired about various options related to gender identity, including “pansexual, sexually attracted to children in general, regardless of their gender,” and “queer, sexually attracted to children in a way that does not correspond to traditional/established ideas of gender sexual orientation.”
