Things seem easier now. *possible trigger*?

Hi, I have the possible trigger in the heading just as a precaution. I don't think it is, but just in case the mods disagree with me it's there.

Some of you may remember me, it's been a good long while since I was last here seeking advice or people to talk to regarding my 'philia.

For those who don't know, or simply don't remember me. I'm a 28 year old man attracted to girls anywhere from 5+

I just want to say that things have been getting better for me recently and give my views on what I believe to be why.

Firstly, no matter what I've been mentally and spokenly referring to girls as adorable, instead of words I use for those older women I'm attracted to such as hot, cute or sexy. This seems to have diminished my reaction to seeing an attractive girl. And reason 2. I recently started an activity where I spend time around others where everyone is naked legally and semi publically. And while some venues are family friendly I depiberately avoided them, or so I thought. First time I went there was a family there with their 4 year old daughter and as long as I focused on other things I was fine. I did spend some time looking, I'll admit that. But nothing, no reaction and all I could think about was how adorable she was laughing and playing and having fun. I did this a few times and then last week I was at a slightly bigger event and there were 5 young girls there between about 5 and maybe 11 - 13. All naked, and I thought I might have been hard pressed to keep cool while they were playing about in a pool on an inflatable showing their bits from various angles and then one of my friends challenged me to try to get on because it looked difficult. And despite checking them out, especially one of the older ones, and even now when I think back to her barely there buds and sparce pubic growth I have no reaction what so ever. I have a clear and vivid recollection of them and not one of them causes a reaction. If I see an image of someone younger naked (I'll hasten to add that no, I don't mean pornographically, but certain photographers who had a habit of using younger models) then I still react, but I no longer have reactions to real live girls. Even the really cute ones that are wearing outfits way too old for them . So I think this is a good step forwards.

Too old for them? Please, the notions of age-appropriateness is a social construction in the first place.

Secondly I'm impressed. I got a little turned on just reading your post. But what impressed me is your lack of reaction.
