This is going to sound so weird- but this is a genuine question. How can someone be attracted to a kid? Like what do you MEAN someone is attracted to the 6yo who ate a bag of rocks, asked 3 strangers why they were so fat and open mouth coughed all day?

brain all goofed up. they were always like that, or something happened to them that stuck their brain in an earlier state and in that earlier state they were a kid so being attracted to kids was normal, but it never advanced from that.

i study psychology, and i’ve always been interested in why some humans think that way or find attraction towards children. a lot of the times i’ve found that it can be a result of abuse. not all of the time, but sometimes abused children don’t ever reach a height in their frontal lobe developing, stunting brain activity. so it leads to them basically acting like a child/finding attraction towards children since their brains aren’t developed enough. in other cases, i truly do not know.

I think it’s more of an easy target thing. Animals tend to hunt what’s smaller than them, it would make sense humans do the same. Same reason women are more likely targets as well.

pedophilia is often a response to severe trauma in the early childhood

I know what kind of people you're talking about, but honestly I wanna ask this to my 6yo self who had a crush on other 6yo’s that were like this. Like, girly, I know you're six and have barely seen any other boys, but why do you like the one who eats paste?

I remember reading about someone who said it was more getting off on the power dynamics than just pure lust when it comes to pedophilia, which would explain why a lot of pedos go for both genders even if they aren’t gay, or ones that specifically go for boys especially, because they are too low in society to feel above or better than men their age (or due to trauma), so they take pleasure in having power over someone younger since they can’t get that feeling from normal life/relationships

Y’all are sounding incredibly insane and should get into God’s word. No disrespect but look into God’s inerrant word and show me where what’s being discussed is acceptable. Don’t let Satan blind you. Sure, God loves the sinner but hates the sin. What is being discussed is purely sin. Prove me wrong.

that's just not true in the majority of cases. pedophiles generally realize that they are a pedophile and try to hide it, it's not a thing you "get into" in the vast majority of cases

Well I wasn’t excusing it. I don’t think “most guys” turn to pedophilia because they are striking out with women. I also don’t think most pedophiles are doing it because they strike out with women. Children are sadly easier to take advantage of (in any way, not just sexually) because they know less than adults. Some people are just evil.

Yeah but a normal person would never think to do that either. Animals are also "easier" to take advantage of but very few people are fucked up enough to even think of animals as sexual 'partners' unless there's something wrong with them to begin with. Same with kids. It's not about how easy it is.

that's my point... a pedophile isn't just someone who thought "oh this seems easier," they're attracted to children in the first place. it's unfortunate that kids are more vulnerable and we have to protect them, obviously, but the cause of pedophilia isn't that it's easy to take advantage of kids.

Thank you! This is the kind of info I was looking for! I'm not going to make excuses for these people- but I am morbidly fascinated with the way they have come to be the way they are. Do you have any academic research you can point me towards on this? I couldn't find very many actual studies that focused on their logical processes rather than just statistics on the problem as a whole.

Do you think it could also be due to someone with antisocial tendencies, who notably have reduced activity in the prefrontal cortex?
