'They amused me far more than the average geography teacher'

[Introduction from consentingjuveniles.com:] Chris Brand is a British researcher in psychology and psychometry (measurement of psychological factors.). He has drawn a great deal of controversy for his remarks on race and intelligence. However, it was the comment published below that caused him to be fired by Edinburgh University.

As lead choirboy (Decani) and soloist, I met lots of paedophiles who would press florins and half-crowns (now worth c. stlg4) into my horrid little palm at age 13. For better or worse, I never 'fancied' any of them nor did anything but allow a little fondling: on my part it was not a sexual experience. But I was never feminazistically inclined to condemn them: these men were well above average in intelligence, well educated (two were writers), amused me far more than the average geography teacher, gave me useful tips (where to find the G spot etc...) and never frightened me in the least. Indeed the only problem with them was that they were so awfully old and sweaty and heavy-breathing and desperate-for-whatever-it-was-they-did {I tried not to look} that I much preferred their jokes to their 'visual aids.'
