1. As for you remark on them being a danger to society. Well yes. Doesn't mean they don't deserve the same chance to rehabilitate as other criminals. At the moment they just get demonised and are disposed of, out of sight out of mind. But of course, it isn't out of mind... unless some form of help is offered, there will always be offenders.

2. It's all well and good reacting to these crimes, but what about prevention? If people felt they could confide with someone that would offer support, wouldn't that do more to stop future offences then forcing them further and further into reclusion?

3. It's obvious that crime and punishment only works so far. Prevention is essential, and that comes from understanding the people behind the crimes, and helping them where possible.
1. Lets be honest, criminals aren't rehabilitated, they are cattle for prison corporations gone insane.

2. That may be fine for certain things, but pedophilia is very different, as it is an extreme taboo in society, people won't confide. They need to go to a psychiatrist, but they cant get one without talking to someone first; ergo the problem.

3. That may be fine in theory, but how are you supposed to prevent when you only figure out they are a pedo after they have committed the crime?; and what do you say to that little kid, whose innocence was stolen from them, and will have to live their lives remembering it.
Commit a crime, serve the time. I'm not saying committing the act should be exempted from normal criminal proceedings. However, there are folks out there who may feel the urge and never acted but may one day snap. For those, a support group (not other paedophiles) would massively impact future offence rates. Prevention!

Again, the abused child deserves justice, just as the family of a murder victim deserves it. It's wrong and it should be punished when it's committed. But tell me, what happens if someone comes out and says they are attracted to kids, but hasn't and doesn't want to indulge this side of them? They have essentially committed social suicide and will never be allowed live a normal life.

So the question is, should the person who hasn't committed a crime, be treated the same way as the person who does? Should a person with a problem be ignored, even ostracised, because of others who have done harm?
This is a good point, but the honest answer is... I don't know. This is a huge issue in our society today, and frankly I have no idea how to fix it. Perhaps one day they can get help in a safe environment, and perhaps we as a society can get to the root of the problem. I really and truly look forward to that day.

Feel like making a separate post for this, but the r/jailbait shutdown was very enlightening for me. It offered a glimpse into the mind of people who are attracted to underage girls. People were complaining about people posting pictures of very young looking girls who were actually 18 years of older. For many of them, age is vital to their fantasy, maybe even the only factor that mattered.

Also, imagine what hellish implications for petite young women that your post has. It basically asks if the only people who will ever be attracted to them or love them will be pedophiles. You had to have known how wrong, stupid, and thoughtless your post was before you did it.

I think it depends.

If you like women who are shorter than average and have the build of someone yet to hit puberty, it's not hard to say that it's some kind of replacement for pedophilia. If you're into women with an adult figure but are shorter than average, then you just like short women.

It's bound to be much more complicated, but it's crazy late and I'm tired.

No, there's a huge difference between being sexually attracted to smaller framed women and being sexually attracted to children.
This is one of those things where the distinction is obvious, but society at large doesn't seem to see it which leads me to conclude that society is full of idiots.

Well, considering how popular the 'Barely Legal' or 'teen' market is in porn, I'd say men don't have any problem at all in lusting after younger girls. It's just not something we'd readily admit to any more, because of the crazy obsession by the media that everyone is a potentially kiddy fiddler.

Again, tho, there's a world of difference between being attracted to 18 year old girls, or even a few years younger, and actually abusing young children.

It's like saying because granny porn exists, we're all potential necrophiliacs.

Or that catgirls or the Playboy bunny is a sign that we've all got bestial leanings, ears and tail being enough evidence.

No, because pedophilia would imply that the girls looks YOUNGER than a petite girl. Not everything under eighteen is considered pedophilia. Unless petite girls look like five year olds where you are from. Oh it's just as illegal, yeah. It's just not the same thing.

This is the most stupid question I've seen asked on The Escapist in a while, and that's saying something. No offense.

Considering children don't have breasts and i'm attracted to small girls that do have breasts, i'd say no.

Although I will gladly joke about it. I have no more lines to cross with jokes, apparently.

This, though they will eventually look like a "tiny adult" as they age.

I think our whole society has always had a bit of pedophilia though. Women and Men are getting waxed. What about that whole school girl fetish? I mean yeah I understand it, but still I've never seen a college student dressed like that only high school or grade school.

-shrug-

I doubt most pedophiles could last long with an adult at all even a small looking one. Isn't it like someone whose straight having intercourse with the same sex as them? Their minds just aren't wired to be attracted to adults... period?

Is being attracted to dwarfs paedophilia? They are, after all, the same hight as children.

The difference between an adult woman and a child is glaringly obvious, regardless of how petite the latter may be. What a positively absurd notion that the two be comparable.

I think the only way it could be pedophilia is if you were attracted to them because they look like a child. Liking small women isn't the same thing imo. Like others have said it's no different than being attracted to women with large breasts or blue eyes or whatever other preferences you have.

I'm attracted to short women, 150 cm is okay with me, as long as they're not a plank.

Paedophelia is primarily caused by a literal 'cross-wiring' in the brain. White tissue grows between the areas of sexual desire and the area/s that give us the instinct to protect and care for young humans (which we define by their eye-to-head ratio mainly) causing the response of sexual arousal rather than an urge to protect when viewing children. So, if a mature woman (or man) looks the same as a small child and a man (or woman) is attracted to her because of the brain deformation, I still would not call it paedophelia, if that man/woman can get his/her kicks with a consenting adult rather than with a child then I'm all for it.

In my view, paedophelia is attempting sexual contact with someone too young to understand the meaning of said actions and hence not able to give informed consent. So, if (as is the case here) a woman's old enough and willing to consent then it's not paedophelia.

I want to simply write "Lol, no" but I know that would score me an infraction.

Both my mother and sister have smaller builds and they don't look like kids.

I have a feeling that this thread may be related to the TERA thread.
