Why does the Bible never mention pedophilia & how It's wrong? Does this mean It's acceptable?

I assume you're a paedophile yourself. I do not see you as a monster or anything however I do not agree with you. I know someone has the same attractions but she is capable of loving older people too and wouldn't act out on her attractions.

I know paedophilia is not a choice and it is a legitimate attraction like homosexuality but I do not think it should be legalised. Instead people should be more compassionate and help paedophiles not to commit sex crimes. We shouldn't make monsters of them because we (the society) are the ones to turn them into sex offenders.

I don't think children under thirteen are capable of consenting. I am fifteen now and I remember that I never felt sexually attracted to anyone until I was fourteen and I felt romantic attractions at twelve. I am not speaking for everyone else here but children do not have a good understanding of what consent is and they may feel obligated to sleep with you because you're older.

Some adults don't even know what consent is. My father was pressuring my mother into having sex with him and he was being very emotionally abusive. My parents are both adults.

I was also sexually assaulted a few times and raped when I was six. At the age of six I didn't know what was happening to me or what sex was. I was so scared and confused and I said yes because of that.

It wasn't legitimate consent. Consent should always be concious and enthusiastic and without pressure and if the person knows that they can say no at any time. I don't know anyone who was capable of consenting at such a young age.

Sorry to burst your bubble. Most children do not feel sexual attractions until they go through puberty at which point they become teenagers and it is called hebephlia. I also do think that sex and consent should be taught in detail at a young age in schools as it may prevent child abuse and when people feel ready they won't be ashamed to explore their sexuality in a safe way.

You said "Some people in pedophilic relationships claim happiness, people from both sides" could you give me some examples? I'd be interested. However I am okay with adult/teenager relationships.

I do think the age of consent should be lowered and each case should be looked at individually. If teenagers can love teenagers than why can't they love adults? I consented to sex at the age of fourteen.

I was in a hebephlic relationship. I also slept with a thirteen year old. I think instead of looking at the ages of the people involved we should look at whether both parties consented and whether they both understood what they were consenting to.

If they didn't then legal action should be taken if they did, then fine, let them continue. It is true that I feel like I have no autonomy because people think that because I have sex with someone over eighteen I am automatically being raped and I have to worry about my partner and I can't be open about my relationship when my partner is the most caring and amazing person I have ever met who has been nothing but sweet to me since the moment I met them. I feel safe with her and I know I can say no at any time and she would stop.

Before I met her I was in an abusive relationship with a girl of my age and well, she saved me from that. I just really hate when people treat me differently because of my age. It hurts so much.

If I was twenty and still had the same developed brain people wouldn't treat me this way. I often feel like killing myself even because people don't respect my opinions and experiences as a teen. And as anonymous said paedophilia is just an attraction.

Having sex with children is child abuse. Oh and by the way, people don't choose their gender identity, they're born that way just like gay people or paedophiles or black people.

Pedophilia is not about mutual love. Pleases stop trying so hard to rationalize 40 year old's salivating over and penetrating 6 year olds. That's "pedophilia."

Your rationalizing it as bad as "legitimate rape." (Unless you think that 6 year olds have a fully developed, rational mind...) Why single out gays who claim that reason why pedophilia might be wrong? Pedophilia has no necessary relation to homosexuality. Homosexuality and pedophilia do not say anything about moral relativism and don't imply anything about it.

Why did you bring that up? You also confuse relativism with egoism. You need to explain why small children are reasonable.

Pedophilia involves an adult taking advantage of a child, without the child's consent (because the child is unable to see through the taken advantage of)! You don't have much respect for victims' rights, do you? Start here: In regards to singling out LGBT: http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
