The World, The Flesh and Myself
- The World, The Flesh and Myself
"The World, The Flesh and Myself" is the 1962 autobiography of Michael Davidson. It is sub-titled "The Life Story of a Lover of Boys". It is the first of two volumes, the second, in 1970, being "Some Boys".
The book opens with Davidson declaring his desires, which he calls "paidophile", which is used in the sense it had before its modern connotation. Davidson sought out young boys and adolescents for sex around London, including public swimming baths and as a result eventually served a prison sentence in Wormwood Scrubs in 1936.
In adulthood, Davidson became a foreign correspondent, which enabled him to live more securely as a homosexual since he was less likely to be persecuted for his sexual inclinations abroad than in England. He reveals, for example, that when on assignment for the Indonesian government, he was provided with young male companions at official expense. He was able to combine his reporting with an active sex life.
