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

Anonymous 1w

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?

Anonymous 6d

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.

The thing is, I don’t completely agree. You are attracted to what you are attracted to. It only becomes depravity when you act on it. The people who don’t get help need to be put down.

That’s what I assumed. That isn’t the normal thought process when a guy isn’t having luck. We don’t suddenly switch over to children. This is almost like giving an excuse to pedophilia. I know that wasn’t your intent.

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.

Well, that’s a clarification then. I was going based on how the question was posed and how the answer objectively read. I just pointed out what I saw to be a possible subconscious bias. I don’t think we ultimately disagree.

Anonymous

#5 1w

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.

#5 1w

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.

Actually homosexuality is beneficial in nature because they often adopt orphaned members of their population, which benefits population growth. You can look at over 10,000 species and this behavior is very prominent and important to abundance

All in the case of trans, thousands of organisms that aren’t humans can have those same behaviors/identities and it literally changes nothing in the populations survival.

Okay. Mom and dad make baby. Mom and dad cannot care for baby because of health or financial reasons and have to put baby up for adoption. Child has no family. Gay couple adopts child and raises the kid in a comfortable environment. Child can have kids and population is increased. Did this help?

To say it's not lgbtq friendly is absurd to me, you should be blessed to live here, to have an entire month dedicated to your existence. Go live in Afghanistan and see what happens. More than half the countries in the world aren't accepting and even criminalize homosexuality. Take pride in where you live

Bro the birth rates decreasing is not because of homosexuals. birth control was made so that we can control birth rates, which is why they’re stagnant or declining. I know you may not see it this way but it’s beneficial for our population growth because we are at the human carrying capacity. There are not enough resources to sustain more children than there currently are (look at how many children are in foster care).

Anonymous

Comfortable environment? For whom? Do you have any idea what psychological/sociological impact a non-nuclear-family upbringing has on a kid? We’re getting into completely different territory where we should be discussing societal changes that would prevent the original parents from having to put the child up for adoption. You’re absolutely brainwashed.

That's a whole other argument, change can be good to an extent. I personally would have no issue with immigration if it benefited our country. And it very much has historically. The problem is within excessive immigration and is shown very clearly in Europe currently, crime is sky high and the culture is dissipating. I wish we could all be together picking daisies but the reality is it has consequences

You haven’t brought any new ideas to the thread. By the way, you may be right in a temporary sort of way. After a life of pedophilia, one will be condemned by and eternally separated from God. The love you’re describing would effectively cease.
