>>>If boys are curios they will find places to satisfy what they are curios about, and explore with other boys in their peer group.

>>>It could be as easily accomplished as with a sleepover.

Hi Scamptoo,
Thank you for responding to my post. While I see your point, I am going to have to disagree with you. I would argue that the most vulnerable boys in this situation are the ones that come from families with very controlling parents. In these houses, sleepovers likely include random checks with parents popping into the kids bedroom unannounced or even demands that doors be kept open. This leaves little time/space for comfortable exploration. In these families, kids would likely also be only allowed to sleep over houses where the friends parents have similar policies and frames of thought. They may even be limited as to who they are allowed to associate with during the day.

I would argue these kids NEED exposure to public spaces where they can be nude with other boys away from the control of otherwise domineering parents. Despite a desperate desire they have been programmed in such a way that they will only engage in this behavior if they feel safe, out of reach of such controlling parental figures and are signaled to by other boys that such behavior is ok. In the past the public spaces allowed this to happen naturally for kids with even the worst type of controlling parents; However, I fear in the current society (At least in the USA) these kids will fall through the cracks.
