I myself am a guy who has certain secondary traits (for example, I do enjoy lolicon and yes, I've phantasized about children before, but hell, I'd never do horrible things like that to
anyone, regardless of age. My primary sexuality is bisexuality anyway) (Thank you very much, internet anonymity!

). Thanks for partly calling me "sick fucking scum", Mackheath.
No problem. Enjoy lolicon away, if you like; fantasising about children-though- I have a rather big problem with; not because it automatically makes you a child molester, but because it has the potential to lead to it.
I am tired and just got home, so I'll copy/paste my answer from before.
(I'm just gonna assume you're heterosexual

Well, your heterosexuality has the potential to lead to rape.
Listen and repeat, sexuality means "I like it", not "I'll do anything to have it".

I understand the condition is not as black or white as the media portrays it, but I stand by my point; if they cannot be helped, they should be locked up and thrown away the key, regardless of how desperate or remorseful they are.
Question, though: Should that be done even if they have not performed an illegal act? You're citing who they are as a reason to lock them up as opposed to what they've done, which implies that we should lock up people for their thoughts and/or genetics.
If it is deemed that they are beyond helping, then I feel they should never be free into society. Since they have failed to respond to treatment, that usually means they cannot be 'cured,' which means that their baser instincts will eventually be overwhelmed, and they will do what they wish to a child, which-after certain treatments like chemical castration- could result in him/her killing the child.
I'm just going to interfere...
"[...] which means that their baser instincts will eventually be overwhelmed, and they will do what they wish to a child, which-after certain treatments like chemical castration- could result in him/her killing the child."
Sorry to say this, but this is just stupid. Do you get violent and murderous when not having sex?
Also: If you were castrated against your will - something against human rights, by the way -, would you go around killing women? No? Thought so.
Paedophiles are people. Like you and me. They have common sense.
I bet there are way more paedophiles than child molesters, don't you agree? Punishing all of them just because a few commit horrible crimes is like punishing all people who drink and have a driver's license just because some drink and drive.
And as as I said, most child molesters aren't paedophiles but "normal" relatives or close friends of the child.
