David L. Riegel has done a great service to fair-minded people interested in understanding a very misunderstood topic. Here in one handy volume are found quotable, authoritative sources in support of what many consider to be an unsupportable point of view. Boylove is herein defended by psychologists, researchers, philosophers, and scholars as essentially good. Where else is found a collection like this?
Riegel has done all the work in locating books, periodicals and professional studies which he reduces to a two-page format. Each source is carefully identified. Riegel does not insert any commentary of his own except to clarify texts. This is the work of a scholar offering welcome resources for further study and discussion. The book demonstrates that a scientific foundation for the perennial phenomenon of boylove really does exist. With real data like this, meaningful discussion can begin. Riegel's book reminds us that no topic is undiscussable. Taboos need to be challenged. The American shadow of fear and repression must be countered by intelligence and truth.
My only reservation about this book is the title which doesn't match the objective treatment of the content.
