POSITION STATEMENT: The Virtuous Pedophiles forum

This page supports Virtuous Pedophiles as a support group for non-offending anti-contact pedophiles, and refers pedophiles reading this blog to the VP forums. We need more boards like VirPed. I myself am a non-offending pedophile, and support VirPed and associated organizations such as the Association for Sexual Abuse Prevention (ASAP). We support pedophiles here, meaning the kind of pedophile that self-diagnose and commit to staying offense-free in relation to children.

Pedophiles are vulnerable adults here. I see them as the little guy that is not very sociable around adults, but opens up with wide eyes when a child is present.

My recommendations towards the board is to appreciate their new installment within my page, meaning many gave an ungrateful appearance to my help, while not forbidding it. I sought to give in secret, meaning not brag, and quietly provide information so that survivors can better understand non-offending pedophiles - that's what you have to do in order to change minds. 

This page respects VirPed values, which are 1) The age of consent stays forever and 2) Pedophiles can simply choose not to abuse. I attach this framework to the children's rights framework of my Christian faith, which states that all adults are wicked and entitled in nature, but can choose to be good and virtuous if they work on their flaws. Pedophilia is not a good thing, as it can lead to entitlement, but mere thoughts are not entitlement, but are simply a self-interest that can be directed elsewhere. Entitlement can mean any want imposed on a child, or sought to be imposed on a child. Pedophiles who are worried about their risk to the point of suicidal ideation are not a risk to children. If you are worried about hurting a child, and know that it is harmful, you're not going to do it with a real child. A predatory pedophile does not know right from wrong, and insists that what they are doing to a child is a good thing. They aren't self-conscious like a struggling non-offending pedophile is. 

We want pedophilia to be an open struggle, and that is what VirPed wants as well. I was there for 7 years as a member and now am a member on a new account. Pedophiles should be able to talk about their disorder on the level that anyone else can talk about their struggles in relation to children. But, first you  have to realize that parenting is a struggle and not a free-for-all, and that's what a lot of adults don't get, but something that pedophiles tend to agree with us on. Pedophile rights will be an accepted mental health cause, but alongside the rights of children, as both are interconnected.
