Compassion with pedophiles?

I realize some of you no doubt find homosexuality and pedophilia repulsive and may not even bother to think rationally about this, so flame on if you wish. :tongue: For those of you more broad-minded, I think I've touched on an idea that may have some merit. If that sounds high-handed, I don't apologize, 'cause I really don't think some of you deserve my respect on this issue. Your opinions are your own, but I believe that you're doing an injustice in passing such judgments on these people.

I don't have a problem with people who are attracted to kids, so long as they don't act on their urges by molesting children. However you look at it, it's hard to call any sex act involving a child anything but rape, and I believe that rape is abhorrent in the extreme.

If, as I believe is fairly well-established scientifically, people are born this way and cannot be "cured," then shouldn't our children(and the rest of us) be educated about pedophiles in a manner similar to that in which we're beginning to educate them about homosexuals? I don't know how common pedophilia is, but I don't think that it should matter how many people are born this way; they're a part of our society. They are alienated and viewed as degenerates, reviled or at best pitied. I believe they have a right to be given what any of us would expect to be given; a chance to earn the respect of others. People are people.

Now, I've thought about this a bit, and I can tell you, I have some experience--as I'm sure others among you have--in restraining myself from indulgence in something so overpoweringly tantalizing that it threatens to break my will at every turn. It hurts. It distracts me. It changes the way I act, the way I respond to things, the way people who don't know me well view me. So I think that, despite their ability to resist temptation, an aid of some sort would be in order for those pedophiles who find their urges overwhelming them at every moment.

Enter the child love doll, and accessories or alternatives such as childlike sexual-themed noises on cd, animated films, literature, etc. I've never used a blow-up toy, or one of the more lifelike and expensive options, and maybe some people would find it disgusting to even think about, but this and/or the other options would help to relieve some of the stress of pedophiles controlling their needs. True, it would never be the real thing, but I think it'd make the situation a lot easier to handle; think of it as a solution to a medical problem, not as extending sympathy towards monsters.

I can't think of anything further at the moment, so...naptime.

As long as we're talking about people who have the urges but don't act on them, I'm with you here.

As far as I'm concerned "It's just the way I'm wired" is not a defense against anything. I don't care if you're a serial killer because of a corrupt moral center or because of an inoperable brain defect, society needs to be protected from you just the same.

There are others more worthy of my "compassion"-like the starving child in Africa,cancer patients, orphans in war torn countries, & victims of pedophilia.
