Pedophilia is simply the attraction to children in the exact same way homosexuals are attracted to their same gender. There's nothing automatically wrong with being attracted to children - just jerk off to fanfiction or go to a foreign country where everyone is cool with it.
Pedophilia itself isn't illegal - that would be a thought crime - acting upon pedophilic thoughts in a society like the US's is illegal though.
It may not be illegal but you don't see the creepy mf'ers walking around admitting that they are as such. They themselves know it's wrong to even think it, so they keep it to themselves.
"Homosexuality may not be illegal but you don't see the creepy, godless mf'ers walking about admitting they're such. They themselves know homosexuality is wrong, so they keep it to themselves."
Do you see how stupid that is? You can replace pedophilia with almost any word [homosexual, black, et cetera] and it shows how absolutely ridiculous you are.
You can't compare homosexuality to pedophilia. Homosexuality is about two consensual adults having sexual intercourse. Pedophilia is about raping children.
Pedophilia is about being sexually attracted towards children.
Just out of curiosity, why do you assume it's about raping children? Why can't a child give consent to sex? They can consent to going to play basketball and many other "dangerous" things. Children can feel sexual pleasure as well. The only reason children are "mentally scarred" by pedophilic activity is because we say it scars them. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
They can't consent because they don't even understand what's happening. Thinking the opposite would be abusing the child's ignorance. And Just because an 8 years old girl can feel sexual pleasure doesn't mean she actually want a 6.5ft tall grown adult's penis inside her. There's no way she can actually enjoy it and consent to it. This shit hurts. It's just common sense.
Them not understanding it implies that it is important. What makes sex so important that children can't want to have it? And sex tends to hurt all females at first. This common sense is just that - stuff that used to be stupid ideas that became common.
I get your point about sex being unimportant. I think it should be normalized too. But not towards children, cause it hurts them, and not just the first time. Sorry but it's just physically impossible to feel any kind of pleasure when someone twice your size put it's penis inside you.
How does it hurt them? The vagina in full grown adults tends to be much smaller than the smallest dick. But I'm alright with leaving this here for now.
So your problem is that it hurts children? What about nude modeling? What about fictitious books or graphic novels? No child is being hurt and pedophiles get a form of sexual release that will help them deal with being unable to truly please their desires. Real-world stances have shown that making child porn illegal - as Japan did - increases rape and child sexual abuse and legalizing it - as the Czech Republic did in 1989 decreased both of those crimes as well.
Well I understand that pedophiles don't choose to be attracted to children. I just think they should control themself and not act on their thoughts. If porn fiction has been proved to help with that, I don't see why not.
