only mine, of course. i'm not a spokesman for anyone else.

I love data. Often, it is all about the data. I admire those of you that can back up your arguments with references (Astrologer recently demonstrated backing up your comments with data in his response to a challenge from Ethan that I thought was brilliant). I filter data through my heart and my feelings. Love is stronger than logic kind of logic (ha). So this is an opinion with no hard data backup that has been filtered through my heart.

There are an unknown percentage of people in the world that are significantly sexually attracted to children. A (again unknown) percentage of them are 'bad people' (don't put the kids welfare ahead of their own desires). At least it seems that way from some of the stories I read. The rest are 'good people' (loving, caring, respected, productive members of society). A percentage of the good people are active. Some get caught and terrible harm comes to them and their partners. Some surely don't get caught (again, what percentage?). Then there are the good pedo's that are not active. Of this last category there are a percentage that believe that a 'good' pedo should represent himself as 'safe' (would never have sex with a kid). Then, finally there are good non-active pedo's that want to some day live in a world where some adult/child sex is recognized at least as not harmful and maybe even as beneficial. They believe that would be a better world, not just for themselves, but also for the children.

It doesn't matter to anyone else that I fall into that latter group. All of the groups are pedophiles and have potential to be in any group and even to change groups from an outsiders view. If I think like a non (not easy but I can do it), I would never 'trust' a pedophile with kids if I did not accept that pedo sex was 'okay'. I doesn't matter that I have a decades old history of no contact. I could 'snap' at any time. Or, at least, I could find myself in an unresistable situation and 'cross over' to become active. I admit this myself. So, the only social culture that will really accept me is one that accepts pedo sex.

Well, I just can't 'picture' that. I know some of you are working on 'what if' scenarios of legal and moral value that work on the model of the new world of pedo acceptance but I only see fragments. I can't imagine a working model.

Even if the model could be realized, I can't see us ever fitting in very well. I doubt we would be invited to the hunting lodge for the weekend with the 'real men' (you might not care). Just like heteros 'accept' gays today, we still probably don't like to picture ass play among men or 66 sessions with women (or you might like that). At best, we would be thought of as jerk offs that try to peek up little girls dresses and want to play doctor with them (or whatever nons image re: pedo sexuality).

I will still work to make the world a better place and will fight injustice and unfairness when I see it (with my super powers) but I'm not gonna fool myself that I will someday have a wonderful full relationship with the girl of my dreams. I guess I'll just be as happy as I can manage as the jerk off I am and thrill at the panty peeks I get and love my little girls every chance I get to be in their company. And hope and dream that, when the time comes, I could be honored to die in the arms of a little girl.
