Actually, in my opinion paedophiles should be allowed to have the right to be paedophiles. The difference comes to whether they're sexually attracted to children to the point of criminally assaulting them or not.

This made my skin crawl.

I realize that whether it's condoned or not, they will be pedophiles, but condoning it opens up the door for child abuse. No, maybe they aren't going to assault a child themselves, but acceptance of their attraction will support an industry that does; child pornography.

What good can come from encouraging the sexualization of children to adults? Viewing child pornography isn't a victimless crime, would you be encouraging that by encouraging pedophilia?

he didn't specifically say it but I think maybe he was going towards accepting their attraction so they can get psychological help for it.

Then I'd be happy to hear him say it, because he's left me with heeby jeebies on that last note there.

Pedophilia is probably something a person wants to clarify their opinion on.

Quote:
Pedophile is defined as a psychiatric disorder in adults or late adolescents (persons age 16 or older) typically characterized by a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children (generally age 13 years or younger, though onset of puberty may vary). The child must be at least five years younger in the case of adolescent pedophiles (16 or older) to be termed pedophilia. The term has a range of definitions, as found in psychiatry, psychology, the vernacular, and law enforcement.
Is it ok to 'have these thoughts' and not act on them, that may be debated in a moral stance.

Anything other than 'possibly' entertaining these thoughts I personally would deem of psychological detriment, immoral, and perhaps illegal.

Hell to the no. There should be no encouragement of those thoughts as having SEXUAL feelings towards children is not normal and should be eliminated. Easier said than done, but I am fully against letting pedophiles be.

I would agree, but is there an age barrier . . . when IS it 'normal' to have those thoughts?

In other words . . . at what age does having sexual thoughts cross the line?
Is it an age thing?
A physical thing?
A societal thing?
