am i the only one who feels the same amount of disgust for both child molesters and paedophiles? i must be ignorant because i thought they were one and the same therefore i genuinely thought being a paedophile was illegal, i didn't know they could admit they were a paedophile and then just carry on with their day-to-day lives. to be honest i find that horrifying.
|
A pedophile is simply someone with a sexual attraction towards children. You can't help the way you were made, and there's no such thing as a crime in potential.
|
I imagine that fear of a paedophile stems from his potential to harm due to the pent-up frustrations he (or she) must have rather than what they've actually done, and it's actually quite tragic that they're unlucky enough to be configured that way, to be honest. I don't know the ins and outs, but I'd be willing to bet if someone was to admit to the authorities that they were a paedophile, they'd be at least be to some degree monitored to make sure they didn't act upon their feelings.
EDIT: WoF the speedy shit. And probably in more ways than one |
I found an explanatory video on the matter for anyone interested
Oh it's NSFW by the way |
Darn, I only watch safe for work paedophilia videos.
EDIT: Oh man, it's hilarious so far. |
that's fucked up. seriously. so it's okay to look so long as they don't act on their desires? that isn't good enough and sounds too much like a ticking timebomb. also how can you be certain a self-confessed 'friendly' paedophile isn't going to indulge in child porn in the privacy of their own home without constant intrusive surveillance? doesn't seem worth it.
who even admits they're a paedophile? surely it'd be swiftly followed by total ostracisation from society in general. EDIT: i can't play videos at the moment, so i cannot see it unfortunately. |

A child molester is a rapist before he's a pedophile. |

Also the entire fear campaign that's going on against child sexuality (especially in the US and UK) has made it virtually impossible for a pedophile to talk about their desires openly without being labeled as a sexual predator. And thus made it impossible to seek help, should they feel the need. In many cases it's impossible to even discuss the subject with an open mind, like I'm doing, without immediately being accused of being a pedophile. |
@ WoF:
that really doesn't work. a paedophile is sexually attracted to children but can't/won't act on these desires because actions = consequences. so they may end up with a partner, start a family, but they're still a paedophile and their sexual preference for children makes them untrustworthy. it's like having a fetish for murder; it's fucking illegal and you shouldn't even like the shit. a straight male, however, has a sexual preference for women. not kids, or rape, just women. having sex with consenting women is not illegal, therefore legally achieveable and not fucked up in the slightest. how you go from straight male to RAPE is beyond me, anyone who forcefully has sex with anything unconsenting is messed up, and rape isn't exclusive to straight males. those kinds of people obviously find some form of pleasure in the act and are called rapists for a reason, not straight males. i'm a straight male and i find the concept of rape to be heinous and a total turn-off, i have no fantasies or wishes to go through with such an act. it's damning. i mean i could use your argument to say all straight males are potential paedophiles, or rapists, or murderers, anything. straight male is a fucking huge category. i'm sure Hitler was a straight male too. it doesn't mean anything. also no, a child molester is a rapist as well as a paedophile. |
:
Being gay was illegal until about 50 years ago and still is illegal is many countries and was/is also deemed wrong on the same level as pedophilia. |
:
:
can you really blame them for not wanting to take the 'gamble' with their children, Havoc? can you really blame them? :
and Havoc about the whole 'being gay used to be illegal' argument, i don't see many kids protesting for the legalization of paedophilia/whatever, do you? also gay couples still have consenting sex (even when it was illegal), otherwise it's rape. since when do kids have sex? since when do they consent to it? in some abstract article clipped out of a shitty magazine? i have no pity for their fucking joke of a plight. |

Person A is a straight male. He likes having sex with women. For him it isn't a power thing, he just likes sex. He's a normal person.
Person B is also a straight male, but he has a power fetish. He wants to exert control over women. He gets off on violence. He has rape fantasies. He's a potential sexual predator. A pervert. There are lots of Person B in this world. Lots more than you'd think. For whatever reason, most will never act on it. Some do. Person C is a pedophile. He gets sexually aroused by the thoughts of children. He doesn't like fantasizing about children, because he's not a sociopath. He's fully aware children can't consent. He knows what he desires is morally wrong, so he hides it. To relive stress, he may look up some erotic literature or art. He may even be a lolicon*. Sexuality is a weird thing, so later in life he comes to accept himself to an extent and gets a wife and child. He doesn't have sexual impulses towards his child for the same reason Person A wouldn't have sexual impulses towards their grown daughter. He lives a generally happy life without hurting anyone. Person D is sick. Maybe it was how he was brought up, maybe it's the gene pool, but for whatever reason, he wants to exert dominance over children. He wants to degrade and humiliate little kids to feel in control of his own life. Maybe he never has the 'courage' to act on these impulses. Maybe he relieves himself by masturbating to real child porn where real children get hurt. It doesn't matter, this guy is still dangerous. He's passively endorsing others who do act on their impulses. He needs to be put away for the protection of our children. Without even getting into the numerous psychological differences between C and D, my point is that D is far closer to B than he ever is to C. Children can't consent. Any psychologically stable adult understands this. Even if a child says yes, they cannot understand what it means to consent. A child molestor is a rapist. Rape is a crime. An action. You can't arrest people or put them on a list for thought crime, for what they might do because of their sexual preference. What about these freaks who are in love with horses or tigers? Same deal. Animals can't consent. It's rape. It'll always be fucked up rape. Someone who has crossed the line to rape will always have more in common with other rapists than they ever have with normal people who have a psychological block on rape. *If Person C ever watched real child porn then they automatically become Person D. Children cannot consent. They are accomplices in the act of rape, making them dangerous. I'm thoroughly exhausted so I'm very sorry if I said something that didn't make sense. I'll try to get back to you when I return. Also please understand that I'm not trying to champion the rights of pedophiles. I just don't believe anyone should ever be held accountable for what they feel, and that The Pedophile isn't a malevolent entity that blurs the line between fantasy and reality. :

:
so person C turns into person D, or maybe B, the point is all paedophiles arent going to match up to that representation, some just really are fucking scumbags, and they dont have to become child molesters to do that. with something like this where the entire human race is being taken into account, the rule of thumb should be 'people aren't nice'. you should assume the worst of every situation, and prepare for it, because there are too many of us to believe otherwise. person C suddenly becoming person D doesnt do much in the way of representing category C as harmless paedophiles either. i know they're not all the same, but i think the despicable actions of a few far outweigh the silent 'non-actions' of the rest. there will always be someone who goes too far, even if they mean well, and then hey presto you have another incident. my advice to paedophiles who havent yet lost their souls: stop masturbating over shit that resembles child porn, that'd be a start. i'm sure it doesn't exactly help matters. show some self restraint, do that, and i might start to believe the guilt you apparantly feel. don't do that, and you're just proving me right and are therefore, by definition, a cunt. |
Punishing people based on their psychological dysfunctions is a dangerous precedent to set. You're not a violent man by nature, but in theory your psychosis gives you the capacity to be so. Does that mean you shold be preemptively arrested for violent assault?

Rape is rape and rape is bad. There's no-one here who disagrees with you on that. :
There's also the basic notion that children don't HAVE a sexuality and are 100% unable to enjoy sex until they hit puberty, which is non-sense. And of course the most interesting one of all; children are unable to consent because they don't know what they are consenting to. The irony here being that a child doesn't know anything about sex because no-one ever bothers to tell them anything about it other than "it's for grown ups and it's dirty, stay away from it". Now, I'm not saying it should be legal to have sex with children. Too many people on the planet who would abuse such a thing. But the basic idea that society now has that children are completely unable to enjoy sex or consent to it is inaccurate at best and ideally requires a lot of research to confirm. Unfortunately the general consensus prevents this from happening anytime soon. No credible research institution is going to waste their reputation by handling something as controversial as a child's sexuality. :
If a dog is humping someone's leg and the person allows it, is he raping the dog because the dog obviously can not consent? If a girl gets on her knees and the dog jumps onto her is the girl raping the dog? If a man is doing a female horse and the horse pushes back into his motion, is the horse consenting or being raped? If a child is touched sexually and enjoys it, is it still rape? If the child initiates the sexual touch, is that consent? It's not as black and white as society makes thing out to be. It's a subject no-one dares touch because everyone seems to agree everything is just fine. Out of sight, out of mind. |
:
It'd be good if you could work out the difference between free will and biological compulsion sometime. |
:
Adults are mature enough mentally to see such graphic material. Children are not. :
Children still won’t fully know what sex is if we do tell them. They have to actually hit puberty to feel any sexual desire and to get a full comprehension of what sex is. We as adults don’t need sex explained to us, because it comes natural to us. :
There is nothing useful or insightful to be had from such research, because there is no such thing as child sexuality. :

There have been many individual low level (no media national media attention) cases where children were sexually involved with an adult and freely admitted to authorities that they enjoyed the interaction. And since you love facts to much, this is a commonly known one: :
Even if a child does turn out to have very active sexuality it doesn't instantly mean it should be stimulated. If it exists it is important that it is documented if only for the sake of knowing it exists. :
Again, I'm not promoting pedosexuality here, still just curious to the reasoning. Why is it not okay to do something that a child obviously enjoys? I don't see how there is something wrong with that act itself since no-one is being harmed in that particular moment. However as the child grows up they might learn that what they did at a younger age is deemed 'wrong' by society. As a result they might get a completely different view on what was at the time an enjoyable experience. They might start seeing themselves as victim who was abused. So... IF the child grows up to regret a sexual encounter with an adult, is it not society's fault for constantly telling the child how wrong and disgusting it was? I know there's not a lot of people here (if any) who are open minded enough to calmly discuss this subject. I don't mind being on the controversial side of an argument. But I'm spotting a trend where, whenever this subject comes up, the only response I seem to get is "NO! You're wrong! Go away!". If you want to tell me I'm wrong, please explain why I'm wrong and I'll gladly adjust my opinion and views. |
I'm not going to say much on the topic at hand but I'm not convinced children are so stupid and detached they can't understand what sex is or consent or sexuality at all. My reasoning being HEY I remember being a kid and my sexuality and interests all became apparent by the time I was 4 at the very latest. I knew a good handful of people during elementary school who were completely aware of what sex was and the shit that came with it. We understood the concept of consent. I knew 3rd graders who were already experimenting sexually behind their parents' and every adults' backs because we all knew that they would treat their behavior like it was the end of the world. But we were comfortable with sexuality as a whole and we understood.
The only reason anyone I knew regretted anything that was done was because of people 20+ years older than us bashing it into our heads that all forms of sexual interaction are HORRIBLE AND WRONG until you're the legal age of consent, but even then it's still AWFUL AND SHOULD BE KEPT PRIVATE and you should always be ashamed of everything you've done ever. They didn't regret the actual action they just wanted to stop being treated like they committed murder for being sexually involved as a child. And before anyone says shit about what I just said, I am NOT by any means defending child porn or children being sexually involved/active. Also holy shit children seeing nudity isn't the god damn end of the world. Breasts aren't inherently sexual, that's a societal thing. It's possible to see a nude figure and it not be sexual in the slightest. We shouldn't have such a tight fucking rope on this shit because frankly it just makes people condemn the idea of sex even more than they already do because they're so convinced it's like the worst fucking thing you can ever do. Don't teach people to be afraid or bothered by it, teach them to be safe if they chose to engage in it. Fuck. |

Okay, I’ll admit I was too hasty shooting down the idea of research. I guess I just found the idea of it too absurd and disgusting, so it affected my feelings on the subject. I still don’t believe there is any form of sexuality in children and until I see any real evidence, I’m not changing my stance. :
Child molesters are very persuasive and manipulative with children. I’m not saying children are ‘too stupid’ or ‘detached’ to understand sex and consent to it, but they’re certainly not mature enough on an emotional level to do so. (To give consent) :

When it comes to children I don't think they have the knowledge and mindset to understand what they are doing. The whole subject is kind of squick and a lot of people would rather avoid it. In my opinion children shouldn't be worrying about sexual things until they're older and maturer. Sure, teach them about sex, don't hide naked people from them (they are not sexualised until people make them out to be) and just allow them to live a happy childhood until they are old enough to properly understand what everything means. |
Children may well experience sexual arousal and be capable of sexual stimulation. But until they reach puberty and hormones have fully done their work, they do not understand, cannot understand, and will not understand, no matter how labouriously it is explained, the concept of sexual desire. There is a difference between becoming aroused when a sexual situation presents itself and acting deliberately to engineer said "desirable" situation.
A child may understand that sex feels good, but because they are not neurologically wired the way that a sexually mature person is, they don't understand that sex is something to be desired, competed for, and often achieved by coercion and violence. This means they cannot understand the mindset of a child molester, or what the molester wants from them. The power held by this pair is severely imbalanced, making any relationship they form inherently abusive. The child becomes a slave to the molester's authority. And that's why paedophilia is so squick: It's not just a crime of rape, but of exploitation. |

i can be violent but i don't enjoy it. the only emotion clouding my sense of judgement at that moment would be rage. doesn't make it right, but it still isn't pleasurable and gives me an incentive never to do it again. pleasure gives you an incentive to do it again. i mean who would be next under mental health? rapists? if i'd have met a fucking paedo whilst in the nuthouse i would have beaten ten shades of shit out of them and gone to prison happily, and would most likely have received congratulations at the other end. fuck wrapping them in cotton wool. a sexual attraction to children is wrong, end of story. it goes against nature, that's why we have fucking puberty. i see what you mean by "you can't punish someone for a crime they haven't committed" and i agree, but why admit to being a paedophile if you havent even done anything wrong? wouldn't that just breed distrust? for example: rape is wrong. if you have a 'thing' for rape i would have thought it best to keep it to yourself, not label yourself a pseudo-rapist. i have psychosis and was medicated for it for years, now i'm off them and cope with it myself. are self-confessed innocent paedos treated/medicated for paedophilia? should rapists get similar treatment? child molesters? i know their victims do. so what about paedophiles who haven't actually done anything wrong? well i'd look into the reasons why they believe they're paedophiles. then i'd probably disagree with said reasons, tell them they're a bunch of fucking idiots and that they're perfectly normal human beings. they haven't crossed that threshold to becoming something i so completely despise, and they're morons for labelling themselves with something so degrading. we're all human and we all think bad things sometimes, but the difference between those who should be labelled paedos and those who admit to it without proof through some form of guilt or self-hatred is this: actions. they speak louder than words and always will, it's those that indulge in sickening actions that should be ostracised and spat on, for the sake of future generations. not those who believe they are, yet have never acted on it. in that case i must be the biggest, sickest fucking serial killer on the planet with the amount of different people ive kidnapped, tortured and murdered in my mind's eye. seriously, if you haven't done anything wrong you're not a paedophile. paedophiles are hated for their actions, not their thoughts. if you haven't acted you can't be hated and are therefore a normal person and not a paedo. there's no big secret because theres nothing to be kept a secret. you can continue with your life free from unwarranted guilt. psychotics generally have some form of detatchment from reality. a simplification of my own would be being totally desensitised to absolutely everything around me, i've been told it's how i learned to cope. beating someone up and kiddy-fiddling are two completely different things. if i completely snapped in a worst case scenario people would be dead, followed by myself. worst case scenario with a paedophile is years of abuse with different victims. one bad turn deserves another when you give up on yourself. i think the latter would be worse. :
:
:
they're kids. still growing up, still learning, trying to find their place in this world, still learning about this world. you should love and protect them, not stick your peepee in them. that's why we don't have paedo conventions. |
:
That's not to say I think paedophiles should just be ignored or left to their own devices. I honestly think that for the good of society, self-confessed paedophiles should be monitored (without invading their privacy so much that life becomes stressful) whilst at the same time, the correct psychological/ medical circles are informed so that they might try and administer help to try and correct their illness. Convicted paedophiles that have committed acts of child molestation should be sent to prison and never let back out into the public. They're too dangerous to be re-introduced into society because our medical understanding of the disorder isn't yet refined to the stage that we can 'cure' it. I also believe that scientists should be able to conduct humane tests on these criminals for the purpose of finding the reasons as to why these people have a disposition for children in the hope that they can find a cure. |
:
anyone who willingly labels themselves a paedophile is a fucking idiot, because from that point on they either live life as a good person but still have to put up with the social distrust, angst and so on, or they do do something fucked up and truly condemn themselves to their label. that's society's fault. looking at hentai/loli/whatever doesn't make you a paedophile. looking at real child porn or acting on those impulses does. by labelling yourself with such a strong and controversial tag you're condemning yourself to pre-judgement and social isolation before you've even done anything wrong. people keep saying "you can't punish someone for something they haven't done" and like i keep fucking saying, i agree, but they're doing that themselves when they say "HEY GUYS I'M A PAEDO" before they've truly done anything wrong. why alarm everyone with that? why do i need to know? should i be watching you very, very closely? why say it? why put the thought there if they truly mean to be a good person? if you genuinely felt like you might not be able to control yourself and wanted outside help then fair enough, label yourself. if you've never actually masturbated over child porn or children or committed a relative crime or done anything wrong, you're not a paedophile. i don't see how someone can call themselves that nowadays if they've never actually done anything wrong. waste of time and taxpayers money. in relation to that, i suppose i'd better get down the cop shop and let them know i could be a potential murderer so they can tag me and keep an eye on me. better safe than sorry. |
