But with pedophiles it is an overwhelming sexual attraction to children. (Your quote, billi; emphasis, mine.)

Res ipsa loquitur means that because the facts are so obvious, a party need not explain any more.

I am a pedophile in the most accurate sense of the word. I am sexually attracted to 7 year old girls. It is an intense desire in me.

In the past, because I did not know how to deal with such an emotion, I developed a sexual relationship with a little girl which lasted 4 years. When She was 10, our relationship was discovered by the LEOs and I went to prison for it. I spent well over 10 years of my life incarcerated. Then, being convinced that I could live outside safely and honorably, I allowed myself to be expelled from the prison system. I had completely served my sentence.

That was almost 20 years ago and, true to my own decision, I have never had another sexual encounter with a little girl. You may suggest that (a) I actually have had an encounter but just have not been caught again, or (b) I'm not a true pedophile.

Without any motive for doing so, I write clearly and succinctly here, that I never have broken a sexual law of any kind and I am deeply and sexually attracted to 7 year old girls. You can't get any more clear than that, I hope.

I will include my usual disclaimer below that may help you understand why I am this way. I would submit to you (or everyone) that I am proof that my intense sexual attraction is NOT, repeat, NOT overwhelming me. I am in complete control of my actions.

Regarding this post and every post I write about myself describing my past, be advised that I was tried, convicted, sentenced to a very long time in prison, and I served the complete sentence. Be further advised that I am no longer practicing illegal activities today and that I refrain from doing so by my own choice, not from fear of legal entanglements or society's outrage. I remain crime free because I choose to.
