Being the authentic and salacious chronicles of Bruce Stirling, Professor of Architectural History, and his young son, Daniil, a catamite of the Eros Union.
Ever since Ancient Greece gave birth to western civilization, Eros has been ‘the driving force in all cultural creativity and in all mysticism’ (Paul Tillich). Nowadays, we think of Cupid as chubby child shooting arrows at Hallmark’ Valentine’s Day cards, idealized romance associated with hearts, fluffy kittens and red roses. In truth, Eros was the primordial god of love, both carnal (body) and ethereal (spiritual). More importantly, Eros was also the protector of homosexual love, and the heavenly patron of the love of boys.
Pederasty has long been the pleasure of kings, priests, and money lenders; however, it is especially associated with men of intellect. Throughout history, literati of repute: artists, architects, composers, writers, philosophers, and poets have oft succumbed to the infinite joys of little boys for inspiration. The Eros Union celebrates them, not the men who diddle scouts and choirboys.
The Eros Union is rated ‘R’, not for violence, gore, or bad language; the carnal thing with prepubertal boys. Beware of continuing if all you desire is a quick spurt, or if exacting descriptions of illicit acts upset you. If you are underage, or incapable of appreciating that boys are sexual before they start puberty, you might want read something less controversial. If reading this fictional story constitutes an illegal act where you live, either leave, or be very careful. Be careful even if reading it is legal. Do NOT read while driving.
No matter that pederasty thrived where western civilization began, today’s guardians of Judeo-Christian morality search constantly for their God’s ‘failures’--the dreaded pedophile--yet fail to find the fallacy. Men who love boys are under increasing attack—today’s media are full of stories about low-hanging fruit. Given the dearth of critical thinking about human sexuality, it will get worse before it gets better. Fortunately, the Age of Aquarius is dawning.
A great writer once observed,
“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.”
Fiction which embodies aspects of reality may appear as Truth, and can be most confusing. In that regard, people, places, and possessions contained herein, do in fact, exist. Whereas distinguishing such could lead to exposure, certain identities have been concealed. In cases of discernible identity, no pejorative purpose is intended, implicated, or insinuated.

This chronicle could not be told without
the insight and experience of Daniil’s godfather, Dr. Edwin
Browne (a pseudonym), an acclaimed professor, a member of the Eros
Union (EU), and a central character herein. To summarize his
contributions would fill several pages, the kind you turn, not bend
over. His constant harping has kept me cooped up in a dodgy hotel
room on the Amalfi Coast these last four six months,
struggling to attain his expectations. His stirring reminiscences of
earlier EU days convey stylistic discretions, demonstrate the
lubricity of olive oil, and to prove at least two points to this
author:
* Not every adult EU member has a son of the appropriate age and disposition, and
* A well-trained catamite is a predator.
Included among Dr. Browne’s many suggestions, were four appetizing anecdotes. He calls them ‘vignettes’, after a woman sent her ‘vignettes’ about Ganymede and her son to Nifty in 2003. You can find a few of Susan’s vignettes at:
