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?
So, like a no attraction towards less than 18-year-olds-allowed-vaccine that we just give everyone? That would work.
You don’t need to be passive aggressive about mentioning months. I know. I can also tell you that unfortunately the condition isn’t chemical. People are born with it.
My point is that you only get a molester when they have the condition, and also lack the control that all the rest of us have for not raping people. As such, removing the urges is only solving half the problem. You’d still be letting people who’d rape adults through the cracks.
Dealing with those types of people would counter both pedos, and rapists in general.
Consent training is the real solution, and is what actual “treatment” for pedos seeking help currently consists of, and in some cases just total libido suppression through medical means.
Is that something done in the US? I was always under the impression that it’s just prison. You can’t even talk to a therapist about it because they have a duty to report you so again, prison.
But I can’t exactly claim to be an expert, it’s just what I’ve gathered from these conversations as they pop up over the years on reddit or whatever.
It varies by a lot. It doesn’t help that the research is scarce and seldom consulted on legislation.
I think a lot of people afflicted just never tell anyone. As long as you’re otherwise stable and in control of yourself, anyone who has only that one thing wrong about them, could extremely easily take it to the grave. It’s by far the best option to live a decent life.
If you don’t need someone else to stop you from acting on it, why tell anyone, ever? It can’t be cured, so the only “help” available is to teach you self-control, or like you say, in some places, prison. If you’re among the 99% of people who already have self-control figured out, why speak up and just complicate your life?
