What is boylove and what is BoyChat and the other boards?
Boylove is an attraction to boys, which may have erotic, emotional, and/or aesthetic aspects. BoyChat is the oldest and largest message board for boylovers; it is maintained by a group of volunteers called Free Spirits; its purpose is to act as a support and self-help group. It provides a means by which people who find themselves attracted to minors may help themselves come to terms with their attraction in a way that is ethical, informed, and supportive. It is not for discussions of how to break the law – illegal discussions are not permitted. Nor is it used for trading child pornography: we do not allow Free Spirits services to be used for trading, discussing, accessing, storing or distributing pornography of any kind. Free Spirits runs a similar board in the French language: La Garonnire; in the German language: Jungs; and in the Dutch language: Jongens. The same purposes and rules apply to these boards.
