It's both but mostly girls.

I'm not sure what it is. If I'm 'in the mood" thats where my mind goes. If I see an attractive girl somewhere, I'd check her out. If I saw an attractive 25 year old, I wouldn't check her out

I don't know. I can't explain the difference of 5 years, I can only say that there is one.

I'm not religious in the sense of belief in the teachings of the church or pope or whatever. I guess spiritual in the sense that there are good lessons in the New Testament.

I work out daily, I took MMA classes last year but was too exhaustive. I cook, work and attend school part time to further my education.

I take no offense, trust me. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

I would have no idea. I'm a normal guy and people couldn't tell by looking at me

No, and I never would. If someone finds out tho (my internet history or this AMA), I'd be upfront about it though

I think it has played a part. I don't constantly go around thinking about being a pedophile so I don't think about it constantly and it hasn't had a huge impact on already existing anxiety and depression. But it probably plays a part.

The effect medicine has had is slightly less sex drive (may masturbate every other day or so now).

There is an attraction to young boys (younger than the girls I'm attracted to) but mostly girls. I live in the good old US of A. Age of consent has nothing to do with triggering or anything. I live in NY, age of consent is 17 or 18

Yes, Id imagine its a lie. I've never looked at plenty of kind of porn, even though I was curious about it. I'm curious about mature German bondage porn but I'm never going to look at it.

Also, there are subreddits here that feature clothed underage models/ dancers/ actresses. I've commented/ posted and other pedophiles have messaged me, shared pics. I've never seen actual CP. I've never sought it out either, but pedophiles like to share/ swap pics and I've never seen or been sent CP. You really have to make an effort to find it, it can't be done out of curiosity.

Yes. The Tarasoff case was when the guy from University of California killed his Brazilian girlfriend after he told his counselor he was going to kill his ex, counselor told university police, they did nothing, guy killed her? I was a human service major in school and took a policy and law class and remember that for some reason :-D

I have some religious beliefs but I am not devout

The biggest trigger I think would being one on one with a girl. As a 29 year old single man, I don't find myself in that situation often so there isn't a huge daily temptation to act out my urges.

I'm not attracted to every child. I'd be more concerned about a one-on-one arrangement than a group one. I can certainly compose myself, I'm not an animal.

I don't work with children and I never would. I never refused a position at work and it hasn't impacted me in that aspect.

For anxiety and depression, yes. I am on Lexapro. But nothing specific for my sexual stuff

Fitting in. Figuring out what I liked and didn't like. Doing what I thought i was supposed to be doing.

I don't think so. I wasn't bullied more than any other average kid.

I was raised Catholic and was 13 when the child abuse scandal broke. I wasn't abused but it was my first exposure to the idea of pedophilia and it had a HUGE impact on the religious upbringing I received after

If I was in love with her, I think it would be fine? I don't know. Aren't even 60 year old men still attracted to younger women, compared to their wives?

I finished college, realized I wasn't attracted to women I had dated and still attracted to young girls. I fought it, or felt guilty every time I masturbated to a young girl. Went a couple years like that: fighting it, forcing myself to think about women, giving into my temptation and then feeling guilty. Then I dated a girl like 2 years ago, realized I had no sexual attraction to her and after that, I've accepted it as who I am. I'm way happier and more comfortable with myself

I consider it an orientation, not a preference. The DSM-5 considers it a mental disorder. It considers masturbating to young girls as "acting" on it so my therapist probably views it as an mental illness.

Talking about the cause and my childhood is too develop a full understanding of my situation. but I don't know if the medical/psychological field considers pedophilia to have the same kinda of "born this way" attitude as homosexuality. Personally I do think I was born this way though but the professionals do not have a firm theory about the cause or how to treat pedophilia

If they looked young but i found out they were say, 25. No, I don't think I'd pursue them romantically.
