Pedophilic attraction is not a sexual orientation, it is an urge to rape. I’ve seen people compare it to orientations like being straight or gay, and that’s a… really misleading comparison. Same-gender attraction, for instance, is capable of being expressed in a consensual way and usually is. So can heterosexual attraction.
But say you are a woman attracted to adult men and you gain sexual satisfaction by raping them or fantasizing about raping them. This part of your attraction, if expressed, can only result in the pain and suffering of the people you are attracted to, or may be steps toward ingratiating yourself to them and undermining their will to say no. In this case YES, I would have huge issues with this straight woman’s sexuality, and would urge her to get help and stay away from men.
The real parallel to being attracted to children is not any straight or queer orientation capable of consensual expression, but rather an urge that leads to rape or emotional abuse. Because that is what attraction to minors is, the urge to rape children, and that is not an okay thing or an identity to celebrate. It is a condition to be managed so that people won’t be hurt.
Also, it’s not “MAPS” and “NOMAPS.” Or any of that garbage.
It’s pedophiles and…pedophiles.
I’ve seen pedophiles claim that, because they are “NOMAPS,” children should be left alone with them.
That the label “pedophile” could be an obstacle between them and children.
Fuck that.
They’re pedophiles.
Oh God those posts are something else. “I’d like to rape your kid but I won’t, trust me, so go ahead and give me access to them!” How about no, dipshit? If you’re really so non-offending as you claim, stay the fuck away from kids.
