NOT A PEDOPHILE
Foley is not a pedophile.
There are no congressional pages who are pre-pubescent.
There is another name for what he is but I can't remember the technical name. In the gay community he would be called a 'chickenhawk'.
It is like a lot of the priests.
Usually the result of arrested sexual development, some men (and women) fixate on the age that they inhibited or closeted or repressed their sexuality for external reasons.
To some extent we all do a bit of this, gays, perhaps, more than others.
The other thing is that young men and women are especially attractive to all people. The hormones are running high. They are getting to their sexual peak.
In any other animal family, they would be having sex and getting married. We suppress that in our children for the sake of their education and our own hangups.
Lolita was a natural.
My grandmother was married when she was fifteen and was a mother soon after.
For gay men who continue to hold down their sexuality into their adult years, the condition becomes pathological. Foley is a good example.
Like arsonists who play with fire, the repressed homosexual will play with his own fire and try to get caught so he can end the pain of the repressed desires; get release.
Since his taste is for the young men he favored when he went out of business sexually, this is where he returns.
It is also very dangerous. Straight boys in a highly public, carefully chaperoned situation. He was sure to get caught.
He 'wanted' to be caught.
He also had his name all over legislation having to do with pedophilia. This is where some of the confusion comes in. Pedophilia is near to his serious problem but not it. This is all nickel and dime psychology and you might not swallow it but read the emails and they are very very adolescent.
Sad, yes. But not for an adolescent whose sex life centers on a lot of jerking off and talking about it.
Foley may be an alcoholic as well. Or, he may be taking the cure to work out a rationale for his behavior. Sad if the latter were so.
He needs to get his sexuality back on center. A few months of a gay therapy group might just set him in the right direction.
There is a rumor that he is a Scientologist or is having them 'cure' him. Poor bastard. The Thetans are hell on suppressed homos. Look at their star examples.
