Adult attraction to children: Individual responsibility for adults attracted to children

Many parents think that child sexual abuse is something only a pedophile would commit. Most adults blame pedophiles alone for the sexual abuse of children. However, all adults have an individual responsibility to abstain from sexually abusing children. If you only get sexual fantasies of children in your sleep, know that you might be at risk for sexually abusing a child.

Every single adult is guilty merely for existing in relation to children. Every single adult is deserving of nothing but DEATH and PUNISHMENT merely for existing in relation to children and the God that protects them. Any old adult is capable of child sexual abuse, under the right/wrong conditions. That doesn't mean all adults will, but that once-and-a-lifetime opportunity still exists for most adults to fall into, under the right/wrong conditions.

The Greek root word denoting lust in the New Testament is έπιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, but to sexual entitlement. Sexual entitlement is defined as, officially speaking, sexual want, to the point of sexually motivated approach. It is okay to look the look, and maybe think the think later. But, if you find yourself doing the deed with a child, you shouldn't have approached her. "Doing the deed" involves either flirting with or propositioning a child, or else touching a child anywhere on their body with sexual intent. All sexual relations outside of a marriage between one adult man and one adult woman are prohibited by God, with any marriage requiring mutual consent on the part of both bride and groom, as well as equality in the marriage. When there was no equality to be had in a marriage in the Early Church, the father stopped the wedding when asked "anyone who disapproves of this wedding, speak now or forever hold your peace". Most marriages in the Early Church were backed up by the father's blessing.

Most child sexual abuse comes from repressed sexual desire for children. Most adults have sexual attraction to at least teenagers as a secondary attraction, with 20% of men having secondary attraction to prepubescent children. Most adults completely repress their sexual attraction to children. This repressed desire then comes out sideways, like a ton of bricks. Any time you repress something as powerful as a sex drive, it comes out sideways when someone gets too close for comfort. The only way out of this dynamic is righteous masturbation, meaning masturbating without any pornography, in order to stay out of trouble.

Most pedophiles do not sexually abuse children, with 3 out of 4 pedophiles not sexually abusing children. According to research, approximately 1-2% of the male population are pedophiles, but probably much less. I myself am a pedophile who was an abuser while being a pedophile. I was an obvious abuser, meaning I was open not just about being a pedophile, but also made my crushes on children obvious to everyone around me. Most pedophilic abusers operate on the surface, in the form of sexual harassment. Think the pathetic loser who follows a child home from school, trying to flirt with a child out in the open. I myself would make my crushes obvious by following them around and waving the "hey baby" wave. I did it in plain sight, meaning I had no clue that my attention was inappropriate. Most pedophiles do know better than to flirt with children, and find better ways to relate to children. I use myself of an example as to how pedophilic abuse happens in most cases. It is okay to confide into someone else about being a pedophile. It is just not okay to flirt with children, even when it is out in the open. I myself, by track record, am an antisocial "flirt".

The depraved and decadent, defiled adults who rape or sexually assault children will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let then descend into torrents of Hell-fire prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Repent!
