First, what is reasonable discussion doing in the EoF?

while I agree with monkat almost completely, I believe he is ignoring the sad fact that true pedophiles do not merely become aroused by children, they seek an emotional bond with them and do not see that as wrong, which is what makes them so dangerous.They would never cause harm to a child intentionally, but the very nature of what they desire is harmful. Child molesters seek someone to have power over and/or act out their repressed anger on. That it takes on a sexual manifestation is secondary.
would you say that a guy with a fetish for raping women is going to settle for fake situations for very long? Very unlikely.
Similarly, allowing fake situations in porn would only serve to embolden child rapists.
Burn in Hell Max Hardcore!
Under the safety of being behind a computer, and only having a user name to go by, I reveal that by definition, I am a pedophile. I do not seek emotional bonds with children, in fact, I mostly ignore and avoid children. Does this mean I am a false pedophile then?
What you are talking about seem to me like more extreme cases where the perpetrator is mentally ill to some degree(childhood trauma maybe?). If this is so, shouldn't it be evident in other areas of their lives as well?
You say, "would you say that a guy with a fetish for raping women is going to settle for fake situations for very long? Very unlikely." This completely depends on the person's self control. I'm sure that if this guy had enough self control, he could live his whole life with only fake situations.
I mean, I get turned on by thinking of kids doing f'ed up things, but I am never going to do anything sexual with a child, nor will I force any child to do anything sexual in nature by themselves, or with others. I have enough self control. Surely those who do not have sufficient self control could gain some through training(therapy?). I don't see how you could say I'm not a "true" pedophile when I fit its definition perfectly. I think you mean the more f'ed up pedophiles, or the more mentally unstable pedophiles, but true pedophiles?
Sorry, I'm acting defensively. It's just that I consider myself a true pedophile because I fit it's definition, therefore I felt you were saying that I would do those things as a true pedophile, and I got a little offended since I would never do those things.
Anyway...I'm done now.
