Please see the excellent point made in an earlier post:

The author, as many do, likes to distinguish between loving "pedosexuality," which he says is good, and molestation, which he considers bad, like rape.

The problem is that, while force is terrible and has its own repercussions, it lacks the element of self-guilt.

The whole nice, loving, "you love me, I love you, and I'm just making you feel good - doesn't it feel good?" approach does a horrendous mind job on the victim for whom it does feel good, as the guilt and confusion never goes away for so many.
This is where a book like this has the potential to be extremely damaging, not in inciting the act, but in further harming the victim.
