Yes, boys can be the victims of sexual neglect also and it's a terrible injustice.

Sexual deprivation can and does happen to boys. Many boys across the world have had their sexual advances rebuffed by men and women who have been afraid to give them the satisfaction they need and deserve.

Most of the offenders who neglect young boys are childlovers in denial. And, most adults who ignore boys are pretending that they are teleiophiles. A boy who is sexually neglected or ignored by an adult should not worry that he is unattractive or undesirable. He should understand that he is a victim of sexual repression and neglect.

What can you do?

Boys who are neglected or ignored can receive help by calling the Sexual Neglect and Age Based Discrimination hotline at 1-800-LTL-BOYZ. They may also want to contact the Tree House Republicans or apply to be Congressional Pages for potential partners and information about how to gain political acceptance. Spiritually-inclined boys might consider becoming altar boys, an occupation in which they can have both their spirits and their colons filled by the loving attentions of an indulgent parish priest.
