As opposed to everything else.

Are there simply more pedophiles, or does it happen to be the most distressing paraphillia of them all, causing more to post about it?

I recently posted in response to a gentleman of 18 proclaiming an attraction to girls of 13-17, and although this was an entirely extemporaneous response, it got me thinking and I'd like to share my thoughts on the subject.

In my response, I drew on an article from that well-known academic source Wikipedia, in which it mentions that labels like ephebophilia/hebephilia have been criticized as attempts to pathologize reproductively valid behaviour in order to have ...

Hello all,

A few days ago I created a post that asserted that pedophiles have confidentiality rights in therapy. I apologize for my idealism and niavete, and for not accepting your view as valid. I now believe that your right to have access to mental health care is being denied and that the current laws (or understanding of them) prevent therapists from being able to ethically provide you with care without undue risk of being ...

Hello all,

I'm a sixteen-year-old female with vorarephilia, and I was hoping someone could shed some light on some questions I've been harboring for quite some time now. I'm hoping this is a safe place to disclose some of these personal matters and hopefully receive some thoughts and answers in return.

What causes a person to develop a paraphilia? Is it genetic? Experience-related? Or just a flaw in the wiring of our brains? I have ...

I'm a 35 year old male necrophiliac. Since I was about 10 I've had very strong feelings of attraction to dead women.

While the other kids played football or whatever, I'd go off on my own in the woods and pick flowers to take to the grave of a 19 year old girl who died in the 1940s. I liked being at her graveside, close to her, and I felt she liked me being there. ...

I am training to become a therapist and have some possible interest in working with pedophiles and sex offenders. As I was reading some of the posts here I was quite surprised to note that many people who suffer from pedophilic fantasies are under the impression that therapists will report them if they seek therapy.

Now, I will not promise that any given therapist will follow the confidentiality rules, especially on such a sensitive subject, ...

I have struggled with my pedophilie feelings for as long as I can remember. I kind of knew that I was different when I was a teenager and had feelings for younger children than myself. It wasn't until I was a little bit older and in High School that I realized what a pedophile was and hid it deep down inside as much as I possibly could. I was also fighting with homosexual desires and ...

I've been reading the post in this forum and find myself compelled to write.

My father is a pedohile. His illness, and I do think of it as an illness, has touched people in ways he will never know. For years my father sexually abuse my brother. The consequences of that, beyond the torture my brother endured, was that my brother in turn abused me for the bulk of my childhood- until he moved out. ...

If someone was attracted to girls back in junior high and still gets the same reaction after viewing them on his yearbook even though now he's an adult?

Hi there.
I have come to realise i have an almost exclusive paraphilia, in that i cannot get off sexually to anything but the image of a woman's mouth. The only source of pornography that shows this enough for me is female vore, or giantess videos. I have no real wish to be eaten by anyone, and the dominance themes in giantess video's actually turns me off completely. I've tried watching regular pornography but i ...
