*deletes history*

okay, rationally speaking i am prepared to accept that my own anecdotal claims don't hold much weight in the grand scheme of things, but they still mean something to me. i know what i've felt and experienced, and i know how i feel now, and I want to know how you explain what i've experienced. if pedophilia is not fully curable, it is certainly possible to minimize its influence to a point where you can live a normal, functioning life without ever considering or entertaining any intrusive sexual thoughts of minors. and surely that is something desirable to pursue?

> and I want to know how you explain what i've experienced
You weren't a pedophile to begin with. If you were, you would still have these desires you described, especially if you aren't receiving any treatment.

but now we're just getting into technicalities which don't matter in the eyes of the law or society in general. a man who masturbates to child erotica on a daily basis for 7 years is going to be classified as a pedophile whether they are genetically predisposed to that, or whether they've simply messed up their own pleasure centres with overindulgence in porn. i'm perfectly prepared to believe that i'm in the latter category, but if that is what happened then I find to believe i'm an isolated case. what i'm saying is, if a subset of the audience for child porn are not genetically pedophiles, then surely it is at least worth attempting to isolate those cases and treat them in a way that allows them to lead normal, healthy lives? because even when i was at the worst of my addiction, chemical castration was not an attractive option. part of attracting a partner and maintaining a healthy relationship is having a healthy sex life, which is not really an option if you uh, disable your balls.

I just wanted to be normal and I've been lucky enough to acheive that. why shouldn't others experiencing the same thing get that same opportunity?

I ain't judging him, I'm just saying that he did it
