Maurits Reijnen explains he used to be a sexually precocious boy and his environment generally responded very negatively to his sexual behavior. He didn't understand why sex was supposed to be dirty. He started doubting himself, became overactive and
aggressive and wetted his bed. A child neurologist simply prescribed him medication.
"I can't recall any moment from that period that I felt happy. Sometimes I wished I was dead. And I was only
six."
"In 1969, a little ray of sunshine shone through the dark clouds of my little existence. I got to know him, Richard, when he was 23. Shortly afterwards we made love for the first time. I will never forget that first
time."
"Finally I had someone who also enjoyed it [sex], finally there was someone I knew wouldn't tell his mother. It was such a wonderful feeling to be touched by someone else, by someone who wanted me.
A year later we did 'it' for the first time.
After I met Richard, everything changed. I got calm, didn't wet my bed anymore. He was also the one who discovered my musical talents and he taught me to listen to music of a kind I normally would have never encountered. He stimulated my learning, algebraic and reading skills and I became the best pupil of my class.
Since my relationship I frequently met older and adult boys. It simply was what I needed and I knew that I wasn't dirty or gross.
My 'engagement' with Richard lasted till I was twelve. We broke up because he got married, with a woman to be exact. I recall this wonderful time very
often."
