I think it's more complicated than just that LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 21/04/2010 11:46:14 PM
Not to say that for many child molesters, it's not the case.

But also keep in mind that pedophilia and child molestation are NOT the same thing. The two are entirely separate and it's quite possible for them not to include each other in the slightest. You can be a pedophile and never touch a child or engage in any sort of sexual behavior involving children (kiddie porn, etc...) You can be a child molester just for the power of it, but not have a single sexual attraction to the minor involved.

I believe there is also a trend where those who have been molested are more likely to molest and a variety of theories as to why that is.

In any case, I agree with your actual point that sexual feelings are only part of the problem :P I'm just distracting myself from studying by blabbering.

Sounds familiar... - 21/04/2010 11:52:43 PM 454 Views
even if someone did physically castrate a pedophile - 22/04/2010 01:07:15 AM 442 Views
This post proves the truth of what I said above. - 22/04/2010 01:58:06 PM 515 Views
I have a very hard time being unbiased on this subject. - 22/04/2010 01:11:31 AM 510 Views
it would probably only help those who are truly pedophiles. - 22/04/2010 01:30:53 AM 439 Views

you can make any argument sound absurd if that is goal - 22/04/2010 05:07:56 PM 464 Views
You misunderstood my logic. - 22/04/2010 05:11:30 PM 502 Views
It is just theory to you. - 28/04/2010 04:55:51 PM 502 Views
And theory is what the law should be about *NM* - 28/04/2010 05:04:40 PM 205 Views
