Can you tell me about them?

This is not intended for debate nor will I engage in any criticisms, etc. for the answers. But I do have a couple questions; if you don't mind answering, please:

1. Are you attracted to prepubescents?

2. Do you have children of your own?

3. Have you ever acted as a caretaker for a child who lived in your home?

4. If #3 is true, from what ages to what ages were they in your ...

I was touched upon in another thread, claims have been made by various persons indicating such things as: What percentage of our population have pedophiliac interest; How many pedophiles there are in this world; What percentage actually become sex offenders; etc.etc. etc.

Well, here is my confusion.

1. While more and more pedophiles are coming forward, there remains a lot of stigma on this issue and coming forward and announcing oneself can be disastrous. With ...

"According to clinical studies, the reality is that a significant
percentage of men experience a high degree of sexual interest in children. In their study
of a community sample of 80 men, Hall et al. discovered that over 25 per cent of the
respondents “self-reported pedophilic interest or exhibited penile arousal to pedophilic
stimuli that equalled or exceeded arousal to adult stimuli” (Hall et al., 1995, p. 681).
Fedora et al. (1992) recruited 60 men ...

Hi, I am totally blind, and have Asperger's Syndrome. For those who may be unfamiliar with autism, I suggest checking out Ask An Autistic's videos on Youtube, as they're great. Anyway, I like to read sci-fi and fantasy books. Some authors I enjoy are- Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, Terry Goodkind, Robin Hobb, and Orson Scott Card's Ender series, just to name a few. Some shows I enjoy are Star Trek Voyager, Sliders, Once Upon ...

I looked everywhere. Not a single result on CL in my whole ######6 STATE, plus no responses for my CL ad. Same for a BDSM-type community. I brought this up on two dating ads. Why the ###$ aren't there any women into this thing? This is ridiculous! I've been doing this for so long! I'm a young attractive man and I can't find any women even online who are interested in this.

What should I ...

I am 28 years old and for the last months I have discovered and accepted (well, still cant accept it fully) that I am a pedophile. Masturbation had become boring until some years ago when I started to fantasise about penises and that made me cum fast. I almost always used that till now that the pedophilia has really kicked in. I now fantasise about little girls and I get really turned on, like I ...

Hello,

I was wondering if those of you who describe yourselves as pro-contact would be willing to answer some questions about your own sexual experiences as children. For the purposes of this discussion, "children" means pre-pubescent.

• Did you have sexual experiences as a child?
• Are you male or female?
• As an adult, are you attracted to girl children, boy children or both?

If so:

• Was it touching/fondling, or penetrative?
• Was it with another ...

I thought I might as well start a thread to discuss this.

The following information comes from the eight arousability studies in adults to child sexual stimili that Sarah Goode cites in her book Understanding and Addressing Adult Sexual Attraction to Children, 2010, and there probably are some others too. A summary of the studies (quoting from Goode) and a few possible reasons for such attractions:

The five studies:

Freund and Costell, 1970 - 48 ...

I have seen this phrase used repeatedly in these forums and I am unclear as to what "pro-contact" means in the jargon of this forum.

Can someone please clarify for me?

Thank you.
