How Do i cope with pedophilic attractions?

Post Reply New Topic

Just To clarify...Im not "exclusively" interested in children...I am also sexually interested in teenage girls and even adult women.

If a person wants to say he/she is autistic, based upon a "self-diagnosis," then I'll take him/her at his/her word, until it is proven otherwise. I believe very few people really brag about being autistic. It's not something that's desirable. Obviously, one cannot conclude one is autistic based upon what's written in an Internet forum.

Pedophilia is much more problematic, in many ways, than autism. Therein lies the difference If one is stamped as a pedophiliac, there would be more trouble for that person than if the person was stamped as being autistic.

Being autistic just does not evoke the same sort of outrage as being a pedophiliac.

I don't think he said he's a pedophile. He just said he has those tendencies.

As for MonsterCrack. I would just try, REALLY TRY, to concentrate on relationships with people around your own age. Part of that is trying to put more focus into your life (without necessarily having to use religion). And enhancing your reputation through you being calm during social interactions, listening to people, expressing opinions, but not getting mad when you express those opinions. People don't want to hang out with somebody whom they fear.

But you're not convicted...so you're still just a 16-year-old kid.

You really have to get help for this.

At the very least, you have to find a way to not give in to those desires to actually try to perform sex on very young people.

It's good that you are seeking help.

I hope you know it's wrong on many levels--on the physiological level, you could really hurt a prepubescent person if you have sex with them. Badly.

There's no judgement---because you actually haven't DONE anything yet.

Just keep an open mind.....and get the therapy you need.

DoNt worry kraftie ill be sure to get that help...In the mean time i think i should stay away from young girls...

LOL...I'm still called a "kid" by my father!

All right...16-year-old GUY.

The point is, really, is that he should seek help, and avoid being ALONE with underage people.

If he reveals these sorts of thoughts to the therapist, the therapist is NOT mandated to report what he said to any authority. So he can be assured of confidentiality when he speaks to his therapist.

This is according to Georgia OCGA Law 19-7-5, Section 10.

Just get the help you need, my friend.

Because acting upon these impulses is not conducive to living any sort of decent life.

You could look for a job as an undertaker or thanatologist (If the last mentionned is possible in Islam). Being near the dead and away from youth should do the trick, shouldn't it?

Catlover5, I find this thread sad because this poster seems to have an attraction and obsession with underage girls that he just can't help. This isn't the first thread he's made about this. Just like I'm a straight woman attracted men, he is attracted to children. We can't help who we are attracted to. He's a danger to society because he may act on his attraction and harm innocent children. He thinks and talks about this too much. He's obviously obsessed and isn't recieving the help he needs.

Several years ago, I read about pedophiles because I was curious about why someone would want to harm a child. The articles I read mentioned that there is no cure for pedophilia, mentioned that it's unfortunatly a sexual orientation and they really can't help it, and talked about the importance of pedophiles being responsible by staying in therapy and staying away from children. One article I read was about a man that realized as a teen that he was attracted to prepubescent girls and he felt scared because he realized how inappropriate his attraction was and he tried hard not to feel attraction towards girls. He experienced anxiety over it and everything.

I wish there were more treatment options available for pedophiles, because it could prevent children from being harmed. I think pedophilia is a poorly researched area, but it's so scary and depressing to read about. I can't imagine having such an inappropriate attraction that could damage a child that I just couldn't help. I'd be ready to kill myself.
