Re: Depends on what you mean by 'accepted'

With very few exceptions, human parents and parents in the animal kingdom raise and care for their children until the point where the child can fend for themselves

And how that contradicts paedophiles being involved with the child, including sexually, is beyond me.

If there were enough of us to make action worthwhile it would be different, but we (by which I mean self-identified MAPs with an interest in advancing said cause) are such a small minority that any actions we take will be steamrolled by our opposition. Has it been otherwise thus far?

GC is not the place to discuss activism. But it exists and can increase by a lot.

Who said anything about quantity? I was talking quality time with a girl one loves and adores. Do you understand the difference?

OK then, measuring your quality of life by the quality of time you spend with a girl is no less sad when a paed does it than a teleio.

Not to mention that if I were to take the consequences of that position seriously, I'd break Rule #6.

Perhaps it means different things to different people, but I think the fundamental of a sexual orientation is not a conscious desire to act but simply the base physiological reaction.

Yeah, a base physiological reaction that obviously has noooooo relation at all with getting the body ready to act. You know better. Even if you (and I), in fact, don't act.

Also, I'm not attracted to every little girl, even though I may find them pretty.

Mh, no, I wasn't on that - though yes, I can see how it seems to mean I was.

in the same way I can find a field of flowers beautiful, which is what i think you meant above. That is not sexual attraction;

What's wrong with deflowering?
