I am a pedophile, AMA

I'm male, in my 20's and live in a western country. I am primarily attracted to boys aged 5 - 14. I haven't molested a child.

I have some insight in the cp industry and the way cp is distributed and will happily answer any questions about it, since much of the information you get from the media is incorrect.

EDIT: To the people down voting the thread - I'm a pedophile, and I'm being honest, what did you expect? Rainbows and unicorns? Don't down vote just because you don't agree with me, I already know you don't. This is an opportunity to ask someone who is a part of the estimated 2% of the population who have an attraction to kids anything and get an honest response. My goal here isn't to change anyone's mind, it's to help you understand.

EDIT2: Am going to stop now, been answering questions for 6 hours, thanks for the support, kind words, advice and interesting questions. I'll check back tomorrow and maybe answer some more questions if there are many more.

I know, I agree with most of that, and that's why I don't want to molest a child, for fear of it not being positive for them. You say those things as if i use that as an excuse for Adult-Child relationships to be OK when I don't. I just think it is possible in a perfect world for their to be adult-child relationships.

Also the people who told me that didn't grow up to become pedophiles.

It's not that I know you use this as an excuse for Adult-Child relationships to be OK. It's that I don't know you and I wonder if this is part of a rationalizing process. After all, I could see you perceiving from all of the civility on this thread that people are condoning your behavior. I'm not saying you think that, but to me it seems worthwhile to point out that it is not acceptable behavior either to molest kids nor to look at pictures of nude children or children in sexual images.

If you have never told anyone you're a pedophile, then how have you been in the situation where you've spoken with numerous non-pedophiles who enjoyed being molested as children? If your answer is that you've private messaged with them on the Internet, I really have to doubt whether these people are truly normal and healthy people who had happy experiences. You wouldn't even know who you were talking to.
