There has been the subject of pedophilia brought up in this board. I am attracted to children and I wrote a post as to why I think it is wrong. Indeed, this topic is more about the legality of pedophilia. It also brings forth discussion of cultural differences, all of which have happened already. What it contains mind you is mostly anecdotal or opinionated and I could be wrong.
I also fixed it so it actually makes sense. My post in the thread had a couple of mistakes in the editing which turned a few sentences into total nonsense after removing some sentences.
Question was: Have you ever known an ex-pedophile?
I consider myself an ex-pedophile of sorts. I still consider myself attracted to children and they can certainly make me very aroused. Indeed, I am attracted too older girls also and I can explain the attraction: it feels exactly the same. I see a young girl and I think "wow she’s really beautiful." I can just as easily see one and think "do not want." Age isn’t a preference here though, it just doesn’t matter.
What I did is feel really guilty for a while. I got over that by realizing I've not done anything wrong. This made me realize something for myself: just don’t do it. I actually also believe that there are a million reasons there can be nothing wrong with it. I however also know one reason why it’s almost always wrong: alienation. I knew about sex as a child due to being sexually abused and I got a lot of punishment for it from teachers for doing things I didn’t exactly know were wrong, I knew then I wasn’t supposed to say I was having any and that was about it. I would say that is the only problem sexual abuse ever brought me. This is of course the main cause of the guilt. I used to dream of the romance, love and sex I wanted with a child, but there is no reality of it happening. I just deal with the urges, I don't get aroused around my little cousin anymore for example and to do this I actually formed a deep friendship with her. She shares those silly secrets kids have with me, and as an adult it is rare for most children to have. I couldn't ever have sex with her, because she would hate me for it just because every other girl does later through group psychology effects and the like. That would be bad, I would loose her!
It isn't hard not to fuck kids. It should be the death sentence (in my own opinion) for doing it for this reason: it’s preventable easily and ruins lives. I can assure you I know I have had more than enough chances!
However I have no problem about it in history because these barriers seem purely cultural to me. Indeed, it is frightening to think of the problems with child sexual abuse being involved purely because we are so against it. What is far scarier for me as a victim of it is that indeed, I see no way for such widespread problems to change in a thousand years.
