Well then you're not a pedophile. Like I said, I didn't grow up with terminology of what the word meant. Culturally it means someone who's sexaully interested in children. Now why they used this word for that, I don't know. Gay use to mean happy but is now a word loosely used for those who are attracted to the same gender of their sex. So, you're not really a pedophile if you get my meaning.

yes

Indeed I am not, and I would be greatly offended if I was accused of it. But I believe that what Mendori was getting at was that in the litteral meaning of pedophile then he was one, just like I am. Hell I am also gay in the litteral meaning of the word

Yeah, words don't often mean what they are in a literal since sometimes.

The literal meaning of Pedophilia is always a sexual interest in children. However, it doesn't imply that a pedophile acts on those interests by taking advantage of children. I don't have it but I can understand how someone would have that attraction. It's not socially accepted in the U.S., but it's accepted in Japan to an extent. There's a culture there that takes an interest in things that are little, and some men are attracted to children because they are little. They even have adult comics that feature children, and the school girl in uniform is a sort of sexual symbol.

Darn, you just reminded me that I forgot to correct the spelling of "paedophilia".

Both spellings are acceptable.

Okay that makes sense, but why not just write for then? why the 'always' comment?

A few extreme forms of BDSM involve no rules whatsoever; no safe words, no boundaries, no set times or places. It's agreed on beforehand.

Still isn't anything more than a game. A very dangerous game maybe, but if both parties concent there is no rape.



This is what I was talking about. I have a sexual interest in children; however, I would challenge you to find me any child who has been negatively affected by my interest in them (Or affected at all, since I don't act on my attractions). How can you reasonably support being against my attractions when they will not lead to action?[/quote]

One should be allowed to have fantasies without people assuming that you intend to ever live out these fantasies. A couple of months ago there was a story in the news about a man who had kidnapped a woman and tortured her for days before she was rescued. I had very violent fantasies about what I would like to do to that man, but in real life I would never harm anyone.

Oh and just a stray thought here; you are 17 years old, in your age you are pretty much a pedophile the moment you have an interest in someone younger than you, even if they are only a few years younger. Noone accuses a 50 year old who dates a 25 year old of being a pedophile even though the age difference is much greater here. You may find that the people you are interested in change as you get older, and are always only slightly younger than you. Just a thought.

...

Hmm... you are the second 16 year old I met on this forum who 'pretends' to be 17 to get into the adult forum, the way I see it if you feel you can handle it then what is the harm in looking at that forum?

Well as I said, as long as it stays with fantasies there isn't really any course for alarm. You might wanna keep it to yourself though, people are likely to get the wrong idea, as you no doubt have seen since first posting in this thread.
