News of Paraphilias Forum

Has anyone ever said this to you? Specifically, has a mental health professional ever said it, something like it, or anything else that increased your distress? I have heard of several such cases of purported professionals saying such grossly negligent things to minor-attracted people who have appeared in their offices seeking help.

If you have a story like this, please post it here. It will be nice to have a compilation of such experiences here ...

Hello,

When I was about 13 years old, I started watching CP. This lasted about 4 years and then I stopped. I haven't done it since and don't plan to ever again. I'm 21 years old now. Whenever I think about it, I get sick to my stomach and feel incredibly guilty. I've been seeing a therapist for some other issues in my life but I feel like I need to get this off my ...

hello my first post on these forums


Iam 25 and I have the desire of really young girls say between 5-12 yrs. I havent done anything in real life to act it out. I have forbid myself looking up CP on the net cause I'll get caught by the police.

The desire enthralls me, my heart beats faster, an insane rush comes over me. However When I look at normal porn its boring. And young ...

No one has responded to my first post yet (which was admittedly very long and probably disturbing to some people), but I had a thought which was more general and which I wanted to throw out there. This is aimed at other pedophiles like me. It happens, I was just walking home from the grocery store and saw a teenage boy walking by. My immediate thought was that he looked hot. But what I realized ...

This is my first post here, but I needed to get this out while I'm still feeling brave enough to post this. I realize there are a few other threads on this subject already, but I don't want to horn in on others' discussions (and I'm not sure others' situations really match my own) so I created my own thread which I hope will garner some help. Some of what I'll say will likely be ...

I wanted to follow on from what I wrote in that "What do you want from this forum?" thread:

I would actually like to have a smaller presence in this forum. I'd prefer to come here to read and learn rather than to police or argue. But when the dominant view becomes too extreme, I feel I need to wade in. Obviously "extreme" is subjective. What I consider an extreme view, someone else may consider ...

Hi Everyone,

It's been suggested that we could do with a Resources section. Perhaps it's time to update the "paraphilias: Treatment & Medication" sticky at the top of this forum?

A resources thread could be a quick reference for newcomers and people looking for further information about paraphilias.

Useful content could include:

* Descriptions and definitions of paraphilias
* Helpful websites
* Helpful books
* Support agencies

Please note that to make it a sticky ...

For the past two years I have been suffering from intrusive, repulsive images and paranoid thoughts characterized by the notion that I secretly want to have sexual relations with my brother. I read something about the nature of OCD and found that it described exactly what I was going through, and as the nature of the disease is one of doubt, I was wondering if somebody here is actually attracted to their sibling and knows ...

... a pedophile as the protagonist.

I've been inspired by shows like Weeds, Breaking Bad, Dexter and Six Feet Under. I also wanted to base it partly on events in my own life, in particular the minor cult I joined, the struggle with paraphilias and secrets, and psychadelics. The book and / or TV series would be philosophical and avante-garde, something that would really make people think and re-assess their views. Grandiose in theme yet ...

I started off being comfortable around kids way younger than my self over being around or talking with adults, I don't remember when it started but I would be attracted to boys at first i think then started being attracted to girls, it was all ways the smart ones. I've never acted on my urges, or ideas, but they are strong and I know hate is the only response I could ever get by shareing ...
