Gerontophilia and Pedophilia by Aspen 

All of a sudden, two years after the initial release of the film "Gerontophilia", a trailer for "Gerontophilia" has been added to the theatrical trailer page at IMDB.com, right next to trailers for children's films and all the rest.

The timing is clear and meaningful, but let's get to definitions first.

What is "gerontophilia"? It's a sexual fetish for the elderly.

Let me restate that: It's an OBSESSION, by persons already past puberty, with sexual contact with the physically soon moribund. It is one step removed from necrophilia.

"Gerontophilia" is a film about a young GAY man who is obsessed with sexual contact with a dying GAY elderly man. The trailer for the film features the line, spoken by said gay elder, "I was actually married once, if you can believe that".

What is the purpose of this film? Is it to promote happy sexual relationships between young and healthy gay men and old gay men who are on their deathbeds? Is this obsession a common thing?

According to Wikipedia: "The prevalence of gerontophilia is unknown. A study of pornographic search terms on a peer-to-peer network reported that 0.15% had gerontophilic themes."

.15% is a pretty small percentage, and even then we're going on those who are pornographically obsessed. So how did this small percentage of perverse obsession merit a feature film with a production budget of $2 million?

Let's look to the producer, "Bruce LaBruce". Here's what he has to say of himself (again, via Wikipedia):

"His filmmaking style is marked by a blend of explicitly pornographic depictions of sex with more conventional narrative and filmmaking techniques, as well as an interest in extreme topics which mainstream audiences might dismiss as shocking or disturbing taboos. For instance, his films have depicted scenes of sexual fetish and paraphilia, BDSM, gang rape, racially-motivated violence, amputee fetishism, male and female prostitution, and zombie and vampire sexuality."

This man, Bruce LaBruce, wrote and directed a film released in 2008 called "Up With Dead People". It's all a sham and a dressing, making sex the all, towards the ultimate goal of breaking down the barriers of sex between children and adults. If sex with the elderly is okay, why not sex with youth?

"Gerontophilia" might as well be called "Pedophilia". And it will be. It's just a matter of time.
