How do virtuous (non offending); pedophiles enjoy their lives?

[Anonymous]

I’m not a pedophile but I was reading about non offending pedophiles and curious about how they manage to hide their attractions from mainstream society and live their lives. I’m not asking from a judgmental perspective. Although I think pedophilia is bad. But if you were to not act on it and to be afflicted with it forever, how would someone live their lives relatively well? I’ve never known one or been one, so I’m genuinely curious.

What I don't understand is, you're a guy 17 years old and going after all these girls in school age 13 to 17 and then you turn 18 and suddenly they're not supposed to be attractive to you anymore? I went out with a lot of older boys when I was that age and I would not have liked if they stayed away from me.

A very valid point, but that's not what she was asking- pedophilia is sexual attraction to CHILDREN, not minors; i. e., prepubescents.

I watched a docu about a dude who “came out” pedo in england. He looked ultimately destroyed and depressed. He had never done anything. And it’s not his fault for his feelings. He’s in therapy. But I admire him for coming out.

He literally said, anyone wants to hit me, it’s fine. Jesus buddy, get some uppers.

Pedophiles and ehebophiles are different. 99% of men are ehebophiles and the majority of us are non-offending. We live in society pretending that people like Epstein are “bad” and saying shit like “nooooo that 16 year old with the body of a 20 year old isn’t attractive”

It’s actually not hard as long as you’re a person that doesn’t enjoy harming other people. A huge majority of pedophiles will never get close to touching a kid. We’re just like anyone else that understands right from wrong & has empathy for other people. There are good people & there are bad people I. Every category. It’s the same reason why most straight men don’t rape women. Cuz they’re not bad people. Now I’m attracted to girls of all ages. I hate that I have to fight my own thoughts when I see a cute little girl cuz I know how wrong it is but it’s not hard if your not a piece of shit. I actually hate child rapest just as much if not more than you cuz they make everyone view us as mindless evil rapist. Which I understand cuz I personally think it’s a crime worse than murder. Cuz that little girl will be mentally tortured her whole life. But I appreciate you being understanding & asking questions cuz I definitely didn’t choice to be the worst type of human there is. But it’s not what you think. I promise you probably know a handful of secret pedophiles, but they aren’t evil people

I don't know. chemical castration devices? I never cared to look it up.

It's a mental illness. It's part of them. Their brains are messed up. Can't just put a bandage on it and fix it.

[Guy13]

Who cares.

[Asker]

I don’t care either. I’m just mildly curious.

[Dieudonné842]

@guy13 I know right.

By being protected by leftists like those who ran Twitter before Musk bought it.

[UCrayCray]

What do non-offending people need protection from?

[Opinion Owner]

@UCrayCray Protection from being treated equal? Using the wrong pronouns was a banable offense, but saying you are attracted to kids was a-ok, and you could get in trouble for reporting their pedo talk.

Its one thing to keep it to yourself and not mentioning you are a pedo, but if you are putting it front and senter on Twitter that you are a pedo, its mighty suspicious even if you claim to be non-offending. And just because someone says they are non-offending does not mean they actually are.
