> The vast majority of people don't find children sexually attractive.
I hate to ask as I'm not a big fan of the meme, but I am really curious about the numbers. Do you have a source for that?
30% of the people are under 18 themselves. It would be pretty weird if they didn't find each other attractive. That doesn't leave much of a margin for what say to be true, especially when a switch doesn't magically get flipped on your 18th birthday making you instantly attractive.
- lotsofcows 13y agoSorry, I'd hoped that this would be one place where people used the work paedophile sensibly. I'm talking about people being attracted to prepubescents. [edit as I failed to answer the question] Incidence of paedophilia is estimated at under 5% by this paywalled review, http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10.1146/annurev.clinpsy.032408.153618 http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10.1146/annurev.clinpsy...
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoAs you were talking about crime, Randomdata and I were assuming you were referring to acts concerning persons under 18. Pedophilia is not a legal term, it’s a psychological term. It’s not a crime to be a pedophile. Rape, child abuse, etc are.
