Wtf is wrong with people who are pedos. There must be some chemical imbalance that we should be able to fix by the time kids are 10 and never become pedos. I mean it’s wishful thinking but damn it’s 2024!

It’s important to note that the attraction to kids, and actually diddling them, are technically separate things.

No sexually normal person has trouble not raping people of the opposite gender, so while research has essentially proven that the condition itself can’t be cured, it doesn’t automatically mean a person also wants to rape.

It’s when those two things go wrong at the same time, that you get a monster.

So basically, teach kids about consent. If you don’t raise a rapist, they’re not gonna end up a child molester, even if they feel the attraction.

Also “fixing it by the time someone is 10” is gonna be difficult. People tend to be attracted to people their own age, so what, is a 14-year-old a pedo if they do something with a classmate?

Oop… ooh boy here we go with the twitter/reddit talking points 😬

There is zero amount of attraction you can have to kids before you become a monster. The only difference between a MAP and a chomo is time.

The fact that you’re ace explains a bit. You simply have no experience with this.

When I was 14, I was horny as hell. My “sex juices” we’re most certainly flowing. I crushed on several girls in school but at that age I was far too awkward to even speak to them. Let alone know what to do with my frustration aside from masturbate.

Not allowing my libido to drive me to hurting someone is the easiest thing ever. It was then, still is today. (No, I do not feel a need to fuck a 14-year-old, I sleep with adults around my own age)

Nothing about the research into pedophilia suggests that their libidos work in some different way. If you’re a moral person who doesn’t want to hurt anyone, you will do your best not to. And not having sex with children is a pretty easy call to make.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t exactly think clearly when turned on, but it has never, ever, even in a years-long dry spell, led me to even slightly consider actually doing something with someone without their consent.

Nothing you can tell me can convince that a person who doesn’t want to hurt others, can be made to do so by their sex drive.

You’re just assuming I don’t feel attraction. I do, I just don’t feel attracted to children.
