Views

In a 2003 article published in MARTIJN's OK magazine, Uittenbogaard linked his boyhood sexual feelings for older men to his current beliefs. He claims to regret not having had sex with an older man when he was younger, also asking why children should not be shown "all of what’s possible" via DVD, so that they can know what they want. Uittenbogaard goes on to mention that an "evolution" of sexual philosophy is preferable to a "revolution", since society can approach each emergent problem with greater sensitivity. His views have received strong criticism, with professor Ruud Bullens claiming they are "fairly thoughtless" and will lead to a "paedophile witch hunt"
