Pedophilia discussion thread. (20)

We do not choose to be attracted to children, and we cannot make that attraction go away. But we can resist the temptation to abuse children sexually, and many of us present no danger to children whatsoever. Yet we are despised for having a sexual attraction that we did not choose, cannot change, and successfully resist.

There are a lot of negative connotations associated with the word 'pedophile'. When people think of the word 'pedophile', they think of a creepy middle-aged man who assaults children sexually, while in reality it defines someone who has a preference to people who are in the age range of 9 to 13.

There have been so many cases of pedophiles sexually abusing children, that people overlook the pedophiles who wouldn't hurt a fly and love children in a way that surpasses sexual urges.

When I was 12 I was attracted to 12 year olds, and I still am today. Why should my preferences adapt to older women as I grow older myself?

I could see how this would be web related, as pedophelia ingrained in otaku culture, and net culture, thereby. But I can't help but feel as this might be more fitting on the politics board. At any rate, I guess this board is fine.

As far back as I can recall, any discussion with people who are openly pedophiles, I think, very rarely comes off as sane to me. I don't mean to distinguish myself from pedophiles, and I don't really condemn that state of mind, but people like that always strike me as perverse and wantonly. As >>2 demonstrates, there is a sense of self-awareness, but overall, people in that mindset seem quixotic.
As >>2 mentions, there's a negative connotation to pedophilia which is definitely unwarranted, in my opinion, as most pedophiles don't want to harm children. I noticed that pedophiles are quick to establish a sort of dichotomy between those who wish to harm children and don't. To some extent, I do agree that those who are often predators sometimes molest children not primarily because they are attracted to them but because of other reasons. And those individuals, I think, are not the same as pedophiles. Usually, from the dozen or so cases I've looked into, predators will molest children because transgressing the law is enjoyable, they'll use children as surrogates when a spouse denies sex, and they'll molest children to feel as though they're in a position of power.

It's interesting how taboo pedophelia is when it's a historically documented practice.

Peter Sotos, I think, says a lot about pedophelia and the media. It shouldn't be hard to find a digital download of his works. It would be cool to see some discussion about him.

There is probably a tendency for men to be attracted to children, but I find it odd that there are not many women in the media described as pedophiles.
On a somewhat related note, in 2005, in France, a trial opens for 66 men and women of a pedophile ring that raped dozens of children (including a six-month baby) between 1999 and 2002. It's a good example of USA-style violence in Europe.

Maybe people hate you because you want to have sex with children. It's too bad that you have something you didn't choose, but you still have it. You're not going to conquer your urges forever, eventually you're gonna start looking up porn.
Oh, and you pedos are also irritating. Just like furfags used to do you bring up your fucked up desires then get upset when people hate you for it. Or you'll just say "it's part of imageboard culture and keeps normies out" if on a chan.
If you're so harmless then great, stop bringing it up and shitting up websites that don't want you there and get on with your life.

That sounds like a slippery slope.
Oftentimes, the people who molest children aren't the ones who are naturally disposed to being attracted to children, which we would normally call pedophiles. It just happens that they get lopped in together. I'm not saying that we shouldn't describe people who are attracted to children as having an illness or being dysfunctional (whether it can be thought of as moral or not, it can be detrimental to others, and oftentimes, themselves), but we should look at other factors, too.

Some MRI scans have found a difference of brain structure of pedophiles, I've heard, I'll have to look into that.

Your post reads like something a teenager would write

I have a tendency to disassociate the child from the body. To be honest, I find children to be quite obnoxious.

This.
When talking of otaku culture and its various offshoots, we should probably be drawing a line between true pedophiles and lolicons, who very likely have no interest in real children.
