Don't read to far into it, technically Love is a mental illness caused by a chemical imbalance.

Meh, I still dunno. Love is a mental illness? Riiiiiiiight. Next getting turned on will be a mental illness, since that is also a chemical imbalance.

AND NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT FURRIES.

Make your own topic. This is about kiddieporn.

=P I know.

I misunderstood you. What I thought you meant was people who look exactly like children (height and everything) but are actually 18 (or 16 etc), not possible in real life but this is virtual. I had assumed you had meant that there was some kind of disclaimer saying "Everyone in this video is over 18" when the people involved are actually kids.

The difference is mental, basically.

If they're mentally adults, I'm fine with it.

Believe me, I know ALL about looking like a child.

Wee! THis topic made me log in.

Anyway, I wanted to pop in and say that anyone who thinks that all Philias are mental illnesses is an idiot in that aspect. Paraphilias are mostly normal, and a large part of society has em.

Now.. I don't know if Pedophilia can be counted as a mental illness.. But it is a dreadful act, and I'd say it's even worse than rape.
But the thing is, people can't help their paraphilias. THey either had them all along, or got them through experiences they've had themselves. Like this guy who used to get abused by men... He did the same too. Sick fuck. But a very sad, sick fuck.
It doesn't matter how bad the thought is, if the person knows not to do them, and that they are wrong, who are to judge? Some people try to get rid of these thoughts, or just ignore them and live a normal life without indulging in them.
I know it's a weak comparison, but I'm sure the majority of you people have had bad thoughts yourselves. Like wanting to beat someone up, or even kill them(not saying you do have em, but you might). But we all know it's wrong, and indulging in acts that hurt others is just fucked up.

I wll admit and say that even I have.. thoughts... or fantasies rather, that 'd never want to happen for real, because I know how grave the topic is(this does not include children).

I say that as long as they never hurt anyone, no one should be jailed because of thoughts.

This virtual porn issue is such a grey area though. We wanna remain open to people, and if they can stay awayfrom harming actualchildren by looking at virtual uh... 'porn'.. Then... In a way I think that should be allowed. Virtual porn doesn't actually include any real people, an I can't see why there would be a demand for more 'real' porn if people just started makin virtual instead.

But then again... It's such a dangerous topic... Moralities are decided by society in general. Who knows... maybe in the future underage sex would be allowed.

But as it is now, it's against the norm... My personal belief is that Pedophilia shouldn't even BE in the Paraphilia category, cos in no way can it be comared to te rest. Most paraphilias are innocent and include things such as a theme, or tears and stuff like that. I'd say that paedophilia can't even be compared to zoophilia, although both issues are in the gray zone.

I think that pedophilia is giving al other philias a very bad name.
I do see it as more of a mental sickness, if people do it for real. Because it's not just an innocent fetish. It's hurting the victim. To me, it even seems worse than just raping an adult. Because an adult at least knew what was going on, an knows where to turn if tey need help.
But a child just isn't developed in the same way.

So yea... I'mnot sure where I was actually going with this post, but I just wanted to say that no... Not all paraphilias are mental ilnesses. THey are just fetishes and fantasies for some. If it doesn't hurt anybody, who are we to judge?


And sorry about the writing... This keyboard just plan sucks, and I'm too lazy to correct anything right now.
