We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Just to be clear - the author Gendun Chopel says absolutely nothing about feeding 12 year olds honey and sweets before ritual sexual intercourse. He is explicitly clear, in fact, that 12 year olds should not have intercourse of any kind. The Trimondis have literally fabricated this concept. I invite anyone interested to check Gendun Chopel's "Tibetan Arts of Love" if they are interested in following up on what is probably grounds for a libel suit. — Unsigned, by: 144.92.99.228 / talk / contribs

For a complete debunking of this "sex with children" myth, please see the following discussion on NewBuddhist:

Not once, anywhere, does Chöpel mention 12 year olds and sex. He is very clear: 12 year olds are not interested in, nor ready for, sex.

He mentions that 26 year old women should be given passion.

He does not say anything about extracting the female seed from 12 year olds, nor in this section, called "Stages," does he say anything about extracting female seed from anyone whosoever, nor about "ritual" sex whatsoever.

The Trimondis created a sentence on their own, and then attributed it to Chöpel, who did not say it. Many authors have been successfully sued for less. SauLan (talk) 14:47, 20 September 2012 (UTC)SauLan
