shiny wrappers, but the kleptomaniac cannot resist taking them, even though he may be very wealthy and able to buy them for him it is compulsive to take immediately a shiny object he "falls in love with." b.-Where the normal person can stop drinking at will-except during periods of great grief or strain, to return to normal after the worst is over-the alcoholic is helpless the moment he takes a drink, and insanely takes another and another, utterly unable to stop.

Thus, compulsive homosexual love -and also exaggerated heterosexual love is normal love "gone overboard"-a compulsive need to get more and more, a helpless possession and obsession. And this is also true of the child seducer.

Just as there are respectable heterosexuals, with many undesirable elements among them who frequent brothels and pick up unknown and dirty women to have immediate intercourse with them among purposefully filthy surroundings and respectable homophiles-people who form deep and noble attachments for friendswith flagrant and compulsive elements among them as exemplified by men who frequent dives and disreputable districts and pick up strangers for immediate intercourse, we have many individuals with a great and beautiful love for children, for which they find an outlet in scouting, teaching, social work and the like, with among them undesirable elements who cannot control their insane compulsion to seduce and even to violently rape children.

Incidentally, the percentage of children who have been seduced by an older person of the same or opposite sex but have taken it in their stride is much higher than commonly supposed.

It is unfortunate that in the movements fighting for recognition of homophile love (or, more properly, the brotherly love taught by Jesus).

there should be members who typify lust at its worst, and who fight for complete license per se, thus making the campaign of their long-suffering brothers more difficult than necessary.

Another of the many similarities between compulsive homosexuals and heterosexuals enslaved by lust, alcoholics, dope addicts and child molesters, is that they are all in the grip of a vice resulting from a habit they have allowed to develop unchecked and even fostered, without a full realization of the insidious and infernal grip it could get on them to eventually wreck their lives and those of their loved ones. And, once in possession of any of these vices, their probabilities of permanent recovery are pitifully slim, and their withdrawal from the vice is accompanied by the most agonizing symptoms that any man can survive and which are strikingly similar for the different vices.

It is misinterpretation of these terrible withdrawal symptoms that has led modern scientists and other molders of public opinion to declare sexual gratification to be as indispensable as eating or drinking, whereas in actual fact sex may be better compared to walking or other human activities, the lack of which cause deep suffering and frustration but do not bring on death as does lack of food and water.

The very repugnance and condemnation that the average homosexual feels for the child seducer should give him a good idea of the extremely strong repugnance and horror that the average heterosexual feels regarding homosexuals. This is an insight that the homosexual must possess if he is to work effectively towards the solution of his problems, individually and collectively.
