Do you ever wonder what it's like to be a pedophile?
Do you think it's innate for them to be that way - that they can't help it? Know that pedophilia also exist in the animal kingdom.
Personally, I would think it would be horrible to be born in a world where you have to repress your sexual feelings because what you do is considered highly immoral. I liken this to the time in which homosexuality was condemnable. I know homosexuality is not a paraphilia, but aren't you glad you were born with a controversial innate characteristic that wasn't this?
As someone who, since a very young age, has been attracted to way older men (teleiophile), I wonder if the age range that anyone likes is randomly considered at conception. And that I could've been a pedophile, but was instead born with opposite traits - something more accepted in society. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I've noticed a natural aversion to children - I really hate them, can't support them, find them annoying and useless. Do you think pedophiles have an aversion to adults?

Pedophilia may exist in in the animal kingdom; so does theft, rape, and murder, but that doesn't make it okay.
Little kids don't want to have sex. That's why it's wrong. Of course, you can't condemn a person for feelings they can't control, but in my opinion, they need more psychiatric help than sympathy.
Being gay is hard enough. If I was a pedophile, I almost certainly would have killed myself a long time ago.

yes i think there born this way its innate in both males and females. Its always been throughout human history unfortunately. And in animals. However, so has violence and anger been innate in all of us to a certain degree, but u can not allow people to attack others just because they have an urge for anger and violence. You have to control yourself and be decent, i find women attractive but i have no right to abuse them against there will because of my orientation, so as much as its a shame for someone who is born a certain way, they have to live by a code of conduct and respect human life.

I'm bi, and and I'm attracted to younger guys, but they have to be mature enough to respect me as much as I respect them, and children do not enter my thoughts.
I can't imagine having sex with someone who isn't old, or mature, enough to make the decision to be with me. The age of consent is there for a reason.
I think that paedophilia is something that the sufferer has no control over, but that does not make it right, they need help.
One of the endearing features of a child is it's innocence, and that should be preserved as long as possible.

I have never wondered what it was like to be a pedophile. My idea of an older guy stops at about 5 years older than me.

So, what you're saying is you wish YOU were a pedophile so you could do harm to the children you HATE.
