...and no real good can come of it. In fact for the last 30 minutes I have been trying to think of ANY good thing and I've got only one: You may be able to claim the price of the therapy as a write off on your taxes...but of course you don't have to come out to your therapist to do that...so there really is no benefit at all to doing it.

You would be risking alot. This is not like telling a trusted family member or friend...this person is legally obligated to tell the police if he thinks there is ANY chance that you may abuse a child. Do you wanna put yourself in that situation? Do you want to risk your future based on what some stranger may think of you and your feelings for kids? What if he thinks you ARE a danger? Do you wanna be dragged into a mental hospital based on this persons belief that you may molest a child? It COULD happen if you admit that you think about it and desire it...

Anyway, what would do you really hope to gain from it? Do you want the therapist to tell you that it's ok and that's you're not a bad person? Do you want him to try and "cure you"? Do you think that he is going to be very supportive? If this is what you are looking for, then you are looking in the wrong place.

There is simply NO benefit in telling a therapist you have sexual feelings for children.

Whatever you decide I hope you CAREFULLY think it thru and consider the potential FUTURE consequences of that action. I do hope that you decide it's in YOUR best interests to NOT do it.

Take care,
