I've been a pedo for as long as I can remember. My story!

I recently turned 23 years old (male), and I'm a pedophile. I don't know how old you have to be to quality as pedo, but I've been attracted to people younger than me (mostly girls) at least since puberty. Back in the days of Napster and KaZaA, I stumbled across kiddie porn just about as often as regular porn, and I always preferred seeing kids younger than me having sex than adults or older teens.

As I grew up, my thoughts around it fluctuated a lot, and when I was still somewhat religious, I felt terrible about it. I saw how society demonized pedophilia and knew I must have been the most screwed up kid in the world. But as I grew older, I didn't feel as terrible about myself. This is how I'm wired. Folks who blindly talk about locking up, castrating, and/or killing pedophiles shouldn't make me feel terrible about how I'm born, no more than homophobes should make gay people feel terrible about how they're born. Pedophilia is very different than child abuse, and that is something I am NOT OK with.

However, I do have some controversial opinions, though I should point out, I have never done anything illegal with a child, and I don't think I ever will. Regardless: I do think children should be free to explore their sexuality. While I do believe that many pedophiles wrongly take advantage of children sexually, I do also believe that it's possible for an adult and a child to share sexual experiences that are safe and consensual (again, I do NOT plan on engaging in this, just stating an opinion). I would be lying if I said that I didn't love kiddy porn, but given the huge legal risks you would take to obtain it, and the fact that many of the children depicted in those images and videos have been negatively affected by those experiences, it's worth staying away from.

Last interesting tidbit about me: I recently made the choice to seek out others who shared my attraction, and found a girl who has made me feel much less alone. We'll call her Jenn. She's a bit younger than me and is from the midwest. She's been in the kinky sex community for a very long time, and found out very early on that the idea of pedophilia (specifically, the idea of pedo men who were into little girls) turned her on a lot. Soon after that, she learned that she was attracted to little kids as well. We met on an obscure social network, started chatting, and really hit it off. Now we both have someone to share our fantasies with. She's in the same boat as me, in that she understands the moral conundrums involved in our paraphilia. But she also doesn't feel guilty about it. She's pretty amazing.

Here's my bottom line: I don't feel guilty. I don't want to seek treatment. But I am very interested in what you all have to say. I want to hear from other pedophiles who simply want someone to chat with. Critics, I'm happy to discuss with you as well. Those who sympathize with pedophiles, or at least don't want to burn us at the stake, your thoughts and questions are more than welcome.

Hi there. Welcome to Psychforums.

I'd be happy to chat with you.

Hello

27 yr old female pedophile.

Feel free to pm me:-)

Welcome!

I'm intrigued about this obscure social network site. What is it? I'm always up for meeting new people.

As a 46 yearold pedo male, I totally relate to what you said and am totally envious of the relationship you have. Enjoy it.
