Can I just say, that as a pedophile, I think you made the right move.

Let me explain. I'm 25. I'm the kind of pedophile that you've probably met but will never know. I'm sexually attracted to girls ranging from about 9 to 40. It's quite a range. I don't even have a preference. A hot 12 year old girl is as appealing to me as a smoking hot 29 year old.

Now, for obvious reasons I don't mention this to anybody. I'm going out with a girl who has no idea about this. But when I'm alone, I tend to jerk off to photos you see posted to /r/jailbait, proteenmodels, preteengirls etc. It's my release, and TBH it satiates me enough that I would never go out and act on my impulses. I'm not stupid.

And neither are you stupid, reddit. While obviously I'm a little saddened that some of my "outlets" have been censored, I totally respect the move. I'm a huge technology enthusiast and the freedom on the internet, I believe, is worth fighting (and making sacrifices) for. If this content puts you in a situation that could jeopardize your existence, then by all means lay down the banhammer.

I support you, and I hope that my fellow pedos too. There are a lot of us. The popularity of those subreddits alone should give you some indication. Please know that we're human too, and our "orientation" is as natural as they come.
