Hi, I am 21 years old and this summer i got an erection when i was randomly looking at a young boys legs. I am worried that i am a pedophile. It might just be OCD though.
I hope I'm not a pedophile. Please don't be rude, thanks.
Our partner
Am i a pedophile? Or was it just a random erection?

I don't think that you are. Was that the first time it happened? I understand guys get erections for no reason at all, sometimes. I wouldn't worry about it.

Hi.
You said it was the first time it happened? I don't think you should worry about it. Maybe you like shaved legs and you associated the boy's legs with adult male shaved legs? You know, our mind can often play with elements we're not even aware of.
My advice: relax, ut was probably something random. You need to have a constant interest in children to be a pedophile.
Hope this helps

Just to test myself I looked at a young boys legs at a nudist site on the internet. I didn't get an erection. So I'm pretty sure I'm not a pedophile. Do you guys think i am? Btw i don't think its disgusting to look at it, its just to test myself you know.

Sounds like it's POCD, but I'm no professional. I suggest that you talk to a professional about it, because it sounds like a form of OCD. You're testing yourself, which is an indicator that you're simply worried about being a pedophile rather than actually being one.

*TRIGGER WARNING**
Sounds like a random incident. For a while, I was really aroused by the bare shoulders and neck of a girl, didn't matter the age, but not any longer. Just a phase, I guess...

Gayguy93, 'testing yourself' really is classic OCD behaviour.
I really don't think anyone who is genuinely attracted to [insert object of paraphilic attraction here] needs to test themselves, and from what I've read from people with these kinds of OCDs, these 'tests' usually only fuel the fires of doubt. That hasn't happened in your case, so really you should be doubly sure.

Some boys have pretty girlish legs. Did you see Boy in the Dress?
Either way don't worry.

No i didnt.
I can add that when I was randomly looking at the young boys legs I got this weird kind of good feeling. So I don't know if I'm a pedophile.
