Goodbye Psychforums and congratulations to all the MAPs who worked so hard over the years to make this happen.

When this index first opened, and someone posted about MAP issues, the thread was locked, see here: paraphilias/topic9995.html

Next came the phase where MAPs posted but were explicitly labeled mentally ill by the board moderators, and anyone who dared talk about MAP issues was promptly reported to the police, see ...

Cop who wanted to photograph teen’s erection in sexting case commits suicide

The Virginia police officer who wanted to photograph a 17-year-old boy's erect penis in connection to a juvenile sexting case committed suicide Tuesday as authorities went to arrest him on pedophilia-related charges. Those charges were not connected to last year's sexting case that received global media coverage.

Authorities planned to chemically induce an erection in a 17-year-old boy.
Detective David Edward Abbott, a ...

You may have noticed I have not been on here lately. As some of you may know I was raided for CP over a year ago. I had my first court appearance recently and it was reported in the local paper. I stood a chance of escaping prison before that happened. Since it was reported in the paper I have had neighbours shouting outside my apartment “he’s a paedophile, he’s a ######6 paedophile” and making ...

I don't know if I'm in the right place but I really am so confused and I need intelligent,wise input.

I was sexually abused for most my childhood by my dad. I got into a long relationship, starting when I was 17, which turned into a marriage and family after 6 years. My then husband molested our child. We were separated when I found out, and I have no idea how long it had been ...

I don't want to post too much publically as I'm ashamed of my feelings and can't quite grip them. I honestly feel so disgusted at myself for being attracted this way. Is there anyone else with the same attraction who can help or talk? I just feel alone and noone to turn to that i can explain my situations and talk about it freely without being judged. Wish i could knock this awful addiction ...

how can people with certain paraphilias tell a therapist if that therapist is going to report the person to authorities just for having that paraphilia?

I realize most paraphilias are subconsciously developed but there was a point pretty recently when I decided I wanted to have a sexual attraction to x, y, and z. Things like necrosadism, pedophilia, and child abuse. I'd never act on these they're just fantasies I learned to enjoy. I conditioned myself by thinking about it throughout the day, looking at images on gore sites, and reading about necrophilia/pedophilia. I went about a month without thinking ...

I really want to die because of what I am. I know a lot of people out there want me dead as well because of what I am. I feel like a monster but I am not. Wish the general public could and would know that. That will never happen though. I do hurt myself everyday mostly because of what i am. It is what the general public would want. For me to suffer. I ...

I came across some threads on this board, after seeking out information about the attractions I have. I must stress how nerve-wracking it is to search for information, because of the fear that somebody will misinterpret my searches for something more sinister. How does one find people who have the same desires, without getting sucked into shady groups that act on those desires in deplorable ways?

I should clarify. I am a 23 year old ...

I'm 26 yrs old, I'm married, so my issue is that I want to make love to my mother. I have no idea how to approach to my mother with this topic, or how she will react when I open up and tell her what I want, I don't know if that's going to bring us apart or closer to each other, it's kind of difficult because she still married to my stepfather who had ...
