What would drive a pedophile to abuse a child: Ask a pedophile

 Pedophilia is the preferential sexual attraction to children under age 14. Most pedophiles are victims of abuse, not perpetrators, with 3 out of 4 pedophiles refusing to abuse a child, as is the "predestined fate" society places on. I refuse to be "predestined" to any harm towards someone I love. You shall not coax me, because I will protect my child No. Matter. What. God gave me personal choice, free will, and personal responsibility...Quite a few adults sexually abuse children, and most get away with it until their victim's dying day. What drives them? The answer is very messy, in a straightforward and nonsensical way...it should never have happened, ever.

They chose to do it. That simple.

I myself will now go into un-planning mode. Basically, it is constructing than destructing a grooming plan. Suppose I go to a girl's house to play (you'd be surprised how often this is the context of abuse), and then we get into some back rooms. Now, suppose that happens when the single mother of the girl heads to the supermarket. Antisocial "rough-play" might lead to "feeling things", and then the child tells the mother.

Now, walk back, even in this "helpless" case of autism (the label implied in the text). Why was he visiting at all knowing he had that capacity? Why was he in the back rooms at all, alone with a child he was attracted to? Now she is shaking and nervous, with the police on their way. The suspect is throwing a huge crying fit, saying "I couldn't help it". Um, yeah you could, but you weren't empowered enough to know that. Now, you do the big boy crime, you do the big boy time. There is no way out of that, except that you are autistic, and you have more rights than the child at your level, due to your power and control over children merely for being an adult.

I just choose not to abuse children by choosing not to be around them, except when relevant. The rules have relaxed somewhat. I can't just pursue a friendship towards a child to the point of being at her house without her approval, and for the right reasons - I don't want to be pulled aside for anything by the child.

I am not afraid of abusing a child. I am empowered not to, in a convicted way, under my Christian family values. Fornication is sin. That's why I identify as a pedophile, as a self-diagnosis. Use the word to understand yourself, and how to not harm or abuse your child. It is self-exploration and self-discipline at the lowest level, going upwards. I explore my own condition, based on the research and voices of others with the condition.

Normalize pedophiles as a psychiatric diagnosis, and eliminate the medical excuse given to us by society that we don't want. We have earned our rights as mental patients who delude ourselves into thinking a young girl might be our wife in a context that exists nowhere. We have the earned right to treatment, before the fact. I am grateful to have it.
