Let me be very clear here. Abusing children is wrong without any doubt. But a pedophile who doesn't abuse children has done nothing wrong. I want to quickly summarize where we are at the moment. According to current research, pedophilia is an unchangeable sexual orientation, just like for example heterosexuality. No one chooses to be a pedophile. No one can cease being one. The difference between pedophilia and other sexual orientations is that living out this sexual orientation will end in a disaster.

A person's lack of self-discipline is no excuse for bad behavior.

One to two percent of the main male population is considered as pedophiles. This means worldwide more than 57 million people. Therefore, pedophilia is not an irrelevant phenomenon we can ignore. It is unrelated to class status and educational level. The medical student Mirjam Heine explains how an appropriate approach to the unchangeable sexual orientation pedophilia might look like. She is mainly guided by the works of Prof Dr. Dr. Beier, the head of the institute for sexology and sexual medicine at the University Hospital Berlin and the prevention network "Kein Tter Werden" (meaning "don't offend"). Hence, she also believes that no one is responsible for their sexual orientation, for their feelings, but that everyone is responsible for acting upon this sexual orientation. She also inquires how all of us can gain if we distinguish clearly between our feelings and our actions. Since pedophiles can't change their sexual desires, they must learn to control them to not act upon them.

Add to this the fact that our society doesn't value self-discipline with regard to sex and this is just a dangerous next step to having more children being victimized.
look for movements to legalize child sex dolls. Instead of discipline we will encourage acting out on these objects. Some will then move on to real children; then feel like they are the victims.

Its pretty cool, I guess, to just sit back and pretend that this isn't the next big front of the sexual revolution.
At least its cool on TexAgs.
Just wait.
You'll all be Neanderthals if you maintain your belief that sex between adults and children is wrong within a few years. Some of you will change your tune to fit in with the culture.
But lets get this straight -
Beer Baron. Is pedophilia a legitimate sexual identity? Meaning - an unchangeable sexual identity just like heterosexuality or homosexuality? Or is it disordered?
I am not asking about the act here - but the sexual identity.
I say that the "identity" is disordered. Its a sick and awful sin. Its base. Its not a valid form of attraction at all. And, a person who feels any kind of attraction to a child should get help - counseling and maybe more than counseling.
Maybe you'll say, like the lady in the video, that its a perfectly normal and valid sexual identity....and if you say that, are you saying that pedophiles must spend their lives repressing their desires? They can't be their 'true selves?' Doesn't that seem unfair and have we not heard that argument before!?!?

German hospital offers therapy to paedophiles, 7,000 people show interest
Klaus Beier, who leads the prevention network at Charite's sexual medicine institute, explains, 'Paedophilia is not curable but it can be treated... A paedophile can learn to control his urges'
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/germany-paedophilia-clinic-university-hospital-treatment-berlin-a7384356.html
A man looks with interest at the child sitting in front of him in the metro, as a voice asks off-screen: "Do you like children in ways that you shouldn't?" "Help is available," adds the advertisement broadcast on Germantelevision and over the internet, urging people who feel sexually attracted to children to join a unique therapy programme called "Don't offend" (Kein Taeter werden).
Launched some 11 years ago, the largely publicly-funded project by Berlin's top university hospital Charite calls on paedophiles to undertake a treatment that helps them control their urges. More than 7,000 people have sought information on the programme, which is offered in 11 centres across Germany. Of these, 659 people have undertaken the therapy, with 251 completing the entire programme. Another 265 are currently being given treatment either in group or individual sessions. The German initiative is unique because it deals with potential sex criminals, or those who have already committed abuses but have managed to escape justice.
Other programmes deal with convicted paedophiles who have also been issued specific orders to seek medical care. Klaus Beier, who leads the prevention network as well as Charite's sexual medicine institute, has no illusions about the programme. "Paedophilia is not curable," he said. "But it can be treated," he added, stressing that "a paedophile can learn to control his urges." The project is grounded on the principle that sexual attraction to children is a medical problem, and as Beier said, "not a crime" until the urge is acted upon. The World Health Organisation too classifies paedophilia as a "sexual preference disorder".
Over one or two years, during two-hour sessions every week, the patient is taught to develop strategies to stop himself from acting on his tendencies or from consuming child pornography. The programme also helps the patient to acquire a level of empathy towards potential victims, which could go towards dissuading him from hurting them. The patient can choose to remain anonymous throughout the treatment, even with his therapist, and at the end of the programme, he can request follow-ups. Medical help, such as chemical castration, is also offered on a voluntary basis. Scientists from around the world including countries in North America as well as Switzerland and India, have been watching the project with interest.
"In France, we are still at the starting point on creating a programme that is similar to Germany's," said a psychiatrist at France's health and medical research institute Inserm, Serge Stoleru. He said the response from authorities had been that "paedophilia is a tricky subject." But even in Germany, one of the countries scarred by a massive paedophile priest scandal in the Roman Catholic Church, the therapy programme is controversial. Not only is there strong societal pressure against the programme, Beier said that even in the pharmaceutical world, there is "great reticence" towards developing medicine for paedophiles that could take effect rapidly. However, Jerome Braun, who leads a child protection foundation called Hansel and Gretel that co-funds the therapy programme, said that prevention work must not only be targeted at bringing awareness to potential victims in kindergartens or schools. "It should also look at potential criminals because each act prevented is a child saved," he said.

Odd that you direct your pedophile questions specifically at me. To answer your question anyway, I don't think you'd find many people who would tell you its changeable, just like any other kind of sexual attraction. I also find it disordered. I realize you think that makes me a hypocrite because you arbitrarily place homosexuality and pedophilia in exact same box.Quote:
Beer Baron. Is pedophilia a legitimate sexual identity? Meaning - an unchangeable sexual identity just like heterosexuality or homosexuality? Or is it disordered?
I agree. Again, no one is defending pedophilia. You're saying lots of people definitely are going to start any minute, but they're not. This is just the latest slippery slope to nowhere you've become obsessed with.Quote:

Gonna stop you right there. I hate to disappoint you, but I'm not saying that.Quote:

I'm not saying that it's "normal" or "valid," but unless I missed it we haven't found a way to change it. And yes, when acting on your sexual urges necessarily involves unwilling/unconsenting participants, you have to live your life repressing it. I know in your hysterical mind you think that makes me a hypocrite somehow, but the rest of us here in non-hystericalland can see the difference.Quote:
...and if you say that, are you saying that pedophiles must spend their lives repressing their desires?
I can see by your punctuation that you're very, very upset. You seem to be under the impression that if two propositions have similar arguments, those two propositions have equal amounts of validity. That is not true. I know you really, really, really want it to be. I know you really, really, really want society to put me in the same box as they put pedophiles in. For many years they did. The world is better now that they don't. The only people screaming about legalized sex with children seem to be the pedophiles and hysterical pearl-clutching christians like yourself.Quote:

Indeed. And if we could only go back 50+ or so years to the days of moral purity. When men could beat their wives, have mistresses and just all around treat women like property. Back when homosexuals would get beaten to death. When there were no DNA tests to inconvenience men who spread their seed unknowingly to their wives. When children who ever told someone they were being sexually abused were told to shut up about it. We sure have gone down hill since the morally pure days.Davywick said:
