Just 'cause *you* don't like Johnny Depp...

Because I understand that my pedosexuality has to do with unresolved childhood issues that prevented me from "maturing" in certain ways. That's why I'm still only attracted to children (the age I was when I got "stuck") and not adults. So if you have to be "mature" yourself in order to be physically attracted to adults, how can any actual children can be physically attracted to adults?

Maybe that's how it is for you, but personally, I think a lot of people around here would say the reason has more to do with this:

Little girls are just hot.

'nuff said.

It comes down to aesthetics (which vary vastly from person to person), what sort of dynamic is preferred, etc etc etc... on and on.

Just 'cause your attraction works a certain way doesn't mean that's how all attractions are formed.

And one thing that Ive noticed -- kids who dont grow up to be pedosexual tend to have their AoA change on the lower end -- it gets higher -- rather than the higher end -- which stays high and continues higher as the person ages. The average pubescent child finds adults at least mildly crush-worthy, and sometimes younger children do as well; ones sexual orientation is apparent from the get-go in many cases.

For me, its always been older guys that Im attracted to. Its everything about them. Younger men/teen boys dont do much for me physically -- they seem too soft. Their edges are too smooth, physically and emotionally.

Whereas little girls, theyre soft on the outside, but theyre like lightning. They seem like little forces of nature to me.

It might be my imagination -- maybe the attraction came first, and then I attributed all these positive (or what I think of as positive) traits to the age groups I like. I dont know. Either way, it makes me happy, and I wouldnt change it, and Im not going to question it. I like what I like, and I dont care if it makes sense to anyone else.
