This might be somewhat random (well... it is, but eh), but I have seen many a topic on *****, and everyone seems to be under the impression that ***** molest children. Or at least that ***** are the ones to most commonly molest children.
I read a study a while back (can't find it yet, still trying
sweatdrop ) that interviewed a group of college students (I believe they were all male). The study came to the conclusion that around 20-25% of males in that age group admitted to being sexually attracted to children under the age of 12. None of those interviewed had ever acted upon their urges though. In the same study, a few statistics about molestation were included, most of which I can't remember. The one I
do remember is this: Out of all the so-called ***** in the US, a lower percentage of them had molested a child than of men who had to sexual attraction to children.
If you think about it, though, it makes sense. To a point at least. Just because you're attracted to women, doesn't mean you're going to rape one, right?
I realize the study is biased, being all male and only college students. Speaking of which, does anyone know of this study?
So, here are my questions:
1. What is your opinion on *****? Do you think it's natural/unnatural?
2. Do you think the study/statistics are correct or not?
3. Do you know anyone that admits to being attracted to children? If so, do you think they're really that different?
Have you heard of Gaia's ***** Apocalypse of about a year and a half ago? I think most of those interested in discussing this were either banned or driven into hiding. At one point, you couldn't even say the word *****. So while I could sit here and let out a line of cursing that would make a sailor blush, it was 'too dangerous' for a kid to read the word *****.
As to my opinion, I am actually interested in sexology in general, but in particular, abnormal sexology. So I find ***** interesting, albeit disturbing (basically the same reaction I get with a number of the other philias). I do think it is natural, though I think we probably should make sure we agree on what 'natural' means. Under some definitions, it would be, under others, it would not be.
As to the statistics, I think that at some time, almost everyone was attracted to children... when they too were children. I still remember such a time for myself. As to how many remain attracted once they have entered the teen years, much less the adult years, I am not sure, and really, the nature of the way society stereotypes ***** is going to keep us from getting a correct answer from the standard studies. The best thing we could do is get a high number of male volunteers (at random from society), and do a blood penile (I forget the full name) test on them. I don't know of a similar test for women, but we would need one.
Anyways, I had one friend (we have drifted apart) who did not admit it, but would have ranked high on my 'need to ask him when I grow the balls to ask a question like that' list. I also know one guy who seems a bit too interested in lolicon, but that may just be because he loves the shock value when he convinces someone else to look it up (though I think the shock value of looking up 'virgin killer' on wikipedia is far greater, though it is down right dangerous to do in public).
Anyways, I have seen some studies which have shown that ***** do have more mental problems and lower IQs than teliophiles (those with a normal age sexual attraction), but there are two flaws here. First, the mental problems are probably similar to homosexuals, but to a higher intensity, because society at large hates ***** more. I think it is clear no ***** would choose to be such, and the negative hatred and inability to confide in someone without having his (or her, though there do seem to be less females, though they make up a larger portion that many would imagine) life ruined is going to cause some mental breakdowns. as to the lower IQs, they could only test the ***** who were had been busted, and a relatively small few who has not offended, but who has still sought help. All the other *****, those who either are able to refrain from acting on their desires, and the few diabolical ones which have not been caught acting on their desires yet, are likely the smarter half of the group, and thus if we were to count them in, we would see a higher average IQ.
In other words, I think *****, besides for there sexuality, are not that different, except for indirect results of their sexuality having to be constantly hidden. I have not seen any studies looking at the difference between exclusive ***** (only attracted to children) and non-exclusive (both those who are somewhat attracted to adults, and those who are mainly attracted to adults but have some small attraction to children).
It should also be noted that in some cases, if one has a stronger attraction for adults, even if they have a noticeable attraction for children, they will not be considered a *****.
