As I read this, I immediately recalled two male contemporaries in which I detected anomalies a long time ago. I've known two guys, one now deceased, the other in his late '70s each of whose fathers died when they were beneath the age of ten. I spent enough time around each of these guys, such that I couldn't help but notice something that, even to a very young boy (me) about the widowed mother of each, WAS NOT RIGHT!

Although I did not know the word, "coquette" at the time, that properly described the mother of one. She fired suggestive facial expressions non stop. I didn't know what to make of the suggestive expressions, but I did sense that what she was doing was inappropriate. I did my best to pretend that there was nothing untoward going on, and I instinctively made sure to stay away from her, once I detected the impropriety.

The mother of the other was rawer, she was sexually suggestive towards young boys (me and my friend). She never "went hands on", but she made sure to walk, no to slither, around inside their apartment in a sheer nightie, and to talk in a husky voice. (and once again: "...but I did sense that what she was doing was inappropriate. I did my best to pretend that there was nothing untoward going on, and I instinctively made sure to stay away from her, once I detected the impropriety."

Both of my friends definitely grew up damaged and remained damaged (in their ability to form and participate in healthy reasonably happy relationships) their entire lives. Even from before our teen years, I could sense extreme awkwardness and discomfort, on the part of both, if a girl was around.

It was something other than any typical kind of shyness. they were UNCOMFORTABLE!!!

Neither of them was gay. I have always felt, based upon my observations and upon my instinctive reaction to those observations, that elements from within their relationships with their mothers had done something destructive to both of them.

The people "legitimizing" child rape are the same people who free murderers, rapists, violent felons. The same people who censor free speech, jail political dussudents, and call speech violence.
