Anand Gholap claimed:
"(4) Boys asked him [Leadbeater] what to do about continuous sexual
thoughts in their minds. Leadbeater replied masturbation would relieve
from those thoughts for some time. Any doctor will tell you he is right.
>From that statement many stories were created by others about CWL."
Interesting revision of history, but, alas, simply false.
Leadbeater, by his own admission:
(i) claimed to be able to know clairvoyantly when boys where experiencing
sexual desire and initiated discussions about masturbation with them;
(ii) "taught" (his word) masturbation to boys [whatever "taught" might
mean];
(iii) included "indicative action" in his "teaching" of masturbation;
(iv) may have used "physical touch" in his "teaching" of masturbation;
(v) did such things to pre-pubescent boys.
This is a long way - morally and legally - from providing counselling to
boys who sought his advice. Any doctor (or psychologist or clergyman or
counsellor) who did what Leadbeater admitted doing would be de-registered
and sent to jail.
