If someone comes to a doctor suffering from fainting, the doctor first seeks to establish the cause. The person might LACK something (an important vitamin or mineral for example) or HAVE something (a bacterial or viral infection) or it might be environmental (very hot weather, some chemical in their home or work place) etc etc.
I reckon the same will turn out to be true of pedophilia. I suspect pedophilia is not what needs to be treated, like fainting, but is in fact a symptom of something else that can be treated. And there will therefore likely be any number of causes and roots for each individual case which would need to be diagnosed before it can be treated.
So step 1 is to study as many such people as possible. Not just offenders, but every day pedophiles who never, and probably will never, do anything. Until we understand the foundations of each type and case, we have no way to diagnose a person let alone treat them.
Alas we do not live in a society where people feel they can come forward and say "Yes I have pedophilia, what can we do about it" given the existence of people who want to essentially punish them, curtail their freedoms, or even remove them from society entirely for what is essentially Thought Crime. To some, merely having that attraction makes you as bad as the violent criminals who follow through on it.DEFTLEFTHAND wrote: »I know that there is another school of thought that paedophilia is more nurture based over nature, as in there seems to be a correlation between abused children being more likely to become a predator themselves in adulthood.
There I think you make a similar error to others in that you are conflating offending against children with pedophilia as if they are one and the same. There are important differences however.
What I suspect would more likely be the case is that there are many pedophiles, and their being pedophiles is not related to their having been abused themselves.
However people who have been abused are probably more likely to themselves become abusers. And if such a person happens to also be a pedophile, then children are likely to be the focus of that abuse.
Which is a different thing to saying that their being abused as children made them abuse children. The abuse caused further abuse. WHO they then abuse is caused by something else.
Of course I am not saying I "know" any of this. That is just my strong suspicion and educated guess work really.Persephone kindness wrote: »I don't have any sympathy. And please excuse this I mean no disrespect you are very very naive.
How so? Why? I am always somewhat suspicious of people who shout words like "wrong" and "naive" but then do not move in any way to educate or clarify or expound upon it with the person they just shouted down.Hector Bellend wrote: »I thought to myself that I would totally bang her. However, as she moved closer it was clear that she was only about 14 or so.
I was disgusted by my initial reaction.
I suspect that is not an isolated incident and it probably does not limit itself to children either. I myself not too long ago was also approaching someone from a distance. And from the long hair and curves I was seeing I also though there was some potential there. Upon getting closer however it turned out to be a guy.
We all likely have sexual triggers....... shapes, forms, narratives and so forth that trigger sexual attraction in us. And these triggers can exist individually in people we otherwise would have no attraction to. So you can be "triggered" by some attribute in someone who upon closer inspection turns out not to be someone you would otherwise be attracted to or, in your example and mine, not even in a CATEGORY you would otherwise be attracted to.
So no, I do not think you need to be disgusted by your reaction there really. If that makes you feel any better

Ah, Mr. Clifford T. Reid. He ran in the European Elections back in 2004 as an independent. He is from Athy, Co. Kildare, not Carlow, although he went to college in Carlow. The election he ran in was the old European constituency of Ireland East.
Not a very well thought out poster to be honest.

It's fairly clear that he meant the media made him feel like he would be viewed as a pedo by others, not that he was actually a pedo.
Fairly clear now that you've pointed it out! I missed it entirely in the first instance.
My apologies bnt, how are you fixed for a spot of babysitting?
