- marvin 14y ago...and this is a perfect example of why anonymity on the internet is a good thing which has inherent value. Now we've learned something we wouldn't have otherwise. It's not like people with these paraphelias show up for interviews with the newspaper.
- throwaway_24680 14y agoThat's dangerous reasoning. Your comment suggests there is greater value in learning from a pedophile while he is out there victimizing children than there is learning from him behind bars. There are plenty of interviews of convicted pedophiles that help the public understand their point of view (e.g. http://www.putlocker.com/file/19CQ36KXSUTC0408# http://www.putlocker.com/file/19CQ36KXSUTC0408# - many more in scientific journals, less sensationalized than TV)

- poft 14y agoThere are plenty of interviews of convicted pedophiles that help the public understand their point of view There's no such thing as a convicted pedophile, since being a pedophile is not a crime. There is such a thing as a convicted sex offender, and they are the subject of the interviews you speak of. Good luck finding any law abiding pedophile such as myself willing to talk to you without Tor.
- muyuu 14y agoWhat age range are we talking about? 17? 15? 13? less than that?
- poft 14y agoI am most attracted to children around the age of puberty, but it can go as low as 6, with no upper limit. To be clear, I'm not a criminal. That seems to have been a source of confusion in this thread.
- muyuu 14y ago6? Wow, I don't think I liked girls that young even when I was 6 myself. What's there to like? there's nothing feminine to them. I can understand the attraction to some 15 or 17 year olds, because they can be attractive women. But I find it mysterious that someone can be attracted to a prepubescent person. Anyway, good job about not hurting anyone I guess.
- poft 14y agoI am attracted to children, not children who appear as adults. Do you find it equally mysterious that someone can be attracted to a person of the same sex? Would you expect a gay guy must only be attracted to feminine looking men?
- muyuu 14y agoYes, in fact I find it mysterious too. I can get used to the fact that there are such these people but I cannot possibly relate. I can empathize but I can't pretend I really understand how does it feel. Frankly I find it a bit repulsive but I won't judge for what's in other people's minds. You'd possibly find some of my tastes repulsive as well. To each his own.
