| Get help! It isn't normal! Stay away from kids! Thanks for the suggestions, but... Things you're overlooking when you yell "get help"... ~ You don't know what help is available ~ You don't know what it consists of ~ You don't know what it can and can't achieve ~ You don't know who is in need of it and to what extent ~ You don't know who you're talking to Things you're overlooking when you yell, "it isn't normal!"... ~ Normal isn't a synonym for "morally OK" ~ If someone isn't normal, pointing that out adds nothing to solving anyone's problems. ~ Everyone has a normality, and those can include things that aren't normal for others Things you're overlooking when you yell, "stay away from kids!" ~ There are kids everywhere ~ Many MAPs are themselves still kids and at school ~ Many people have kid relatives ~ The important thing is that you behave responsibly if you're going to encounter them About the author: I have been writing and talking about the experience of being a pedophile since 2017. Once on twitter until my account was banned in 2020, I co-led Virtuous Pedophiles from 2021 to 2025. I now continue to look for ways to improve the lives of pedophiles, but never at the expense of harming children. I have never viewed illegal material, and never sought or engaged in sexual activity with any child. The rest of my life is countryside walking, friends, Radio 3 and feeling doleful about ageing. |
