Feeling bad and confused again! (*TW*)

oh my god. Are all of you to stupid to be able to read and comprehend what you are reading? I was simply telling this person to seek therapy before he or she could no longer take it and ended IP dead because of some pissed off parent got him before the law. Then some dumbass that started nitpicking just like you all are talking every damned word out of context. THAT is exactly what set me off! Jesus you people aren't here to support someone, you're here to nitpick and be assholes to people who genuinely are trying to help someone. I'm not trying to do anything but offer help and advice so get the ###$ off my back.

Honestly. Why even make the assumption that this person is going to "snap", when he said, and I quote:

There is nothing in me that makes me want to look at an image of a naked little girl and I would never dream of harming a child in anyway.

If you genuinely wanted to help...you'd tell him to seek therapy for the purpose of feeling better about himself, since he's obviously scared and confused.

Instead you jumped to the conclusion that he was going to end up in prison or dead...I don't think that's doing anything in this situation but making him more scared. Nothing in your post would help to calm him down and support him.

You just don't make sense to me.

You were prejudging him for having no restraint. Do YOU have such a low self-restraint when it comes to attraction? Therapy is not safe for pedophiles at the moment, because they are not treated as patients with basic human rights yet.

That really depends on the therapist and the country, Enickma. I also think that many therapists are able to help clients differentiate between active paedophilic thoughts, and intrusive, OCD-related thoughts. As well as factoring in other issues that could result in the kind of distressing thought situation the Original Poster was in.

cantescapethepain, no one here is intending to "set you off." And this is a discussion forum, so yes. People are going to nitpick and question word choice. That's not malicious, that's part of having a conversation. Please try not to bash other users with labels like "asshole" and "dumbass." No one here is stupid and it's OK if people see things differently. The aim as I see it is to explore those differences. With a focus on being healthy and happy without hurting anyone or being at risk of breaking laws. People may find their answers along different paths, that's OK.
