I hope I don't catch flak for this, but part of me feels bad for adults attracted to minors that DON'T want to be. Like fuck shameless pedophiles that actively prey on children, but I'd image there's also people out there who quietly live with the disorder and fucks their life up. There was a documentary I watched by Louis Theroux once about a special prison just for pedophiles and it was kind of sad. Like it's obvious they weren't getting the help they needed inside and it was just a place to hold them so they wouldn't be murdered in prison. The only real way out was voluntary chemical castration and come on that's pretty barbaric.
It sucks you can't approach or talk about these people without the baggage of violent pedophiles who actually hurt people.
idk hope I'm not too off base here.
You're not off base at all. Being attracted to children is not the issue here (and people shouldn't be stigmatized for that alone). The real issue is the willingness to traumatize others just for a few minutes of pleasure, which isn't exclusive to pedophiles.
But because this whole topic so incredibly emotionally charged, people really can't differentiate between those 2 things, which makes any sort of discussion pretty much impossible.
I actually remember reading about a study that was carried out on a group of inmates who had been sentenced for sexually abusing children, and apparently it showed that a majority of them weren't actually pedophiles in the clinical sense, as in having a primary sexual preference for children, but were rather opportunists who chose children as victims out of convenience. Children are easier to manipulate both mentally and physically than adults, so that's what they went for.
I have read a similar study about people caught with CSAM. They largely weren't attracted to children, they just wanted the rush of looking at something unacceptable.
