Beautifully put. I like the way you speak, but I do not agree with everything you say.
I feel like I shouldnt say anything because i am preconditioned to believe that experience counts more than insight. However, I disagree.
Therefore, if I had to choose what the reason for a persons pedophelie, it would be the lack of intellectualization that surrounds sexuality in our relationships, especially early ones with our parents.
The dont ask, dont tell policy, in social interactions fucks us up. I for one believe that confidence, a lack thereof, arises out of relationships that are grounded in moral principles that are simply not working the same way they did in the past.
I think if people were more open about their own sexual experience, the sources of their insecurities, what they think the answere is and how they will go about to implement it, this kind of stuff will just poof from existence.
However, the way it is right now, most people are far far to stupid to even begin this sort of difficult journey, they can hardly even understand simple idea's and these are very complex and loaded with so much emotional reactions in people that it would be impossible to breach the perliminary blockages.
I definitely do not plan on repeating the same mistake my parents made, that my whole society makes, with my children. The only pre-requisite for this is being able to be far from civilization and its ineffable, destructive, anxiety creating, influences on the psyche of children.
Your thoughts and contemplations are every bit as valid as mine-- no need to apologise for disagreeing. I think of it this way-- if experience always trumped insight, then how much rarer would new inventions be? I think that it can sometimes be of great benefit to think on a topic without having direct experience with it. Call it "thinking outside the box" perhaps. It can be useful.
Although I'm not certain I'm clear on your point, (please forgive me), if what you're saying is that our culture and society are a big part of the pedophile's ingredients, then I would agree with you.
I find it strange that the US has both a highly repressive sexual culture living alongside a hyper-sexualized one. I do believe it's the dissonance between these two moral/cultural extremes that introduces/contributes to this kind of warped sense of perception (sexualization of young children).
It's always touchy, trying to lay out the reasons for pedophilia. I know the damage from a victims standpoint, but I hear the argument that "it's just a biological attraction like any other" and have to acknowledge some degree of fact to this. I understand. I mean, there are people that get turned on by freakin stuffed animals and feet.
I guess the bottom line, for me, is that despite their personal feelings, any adult that would give in to this urge, no matter how strong, is violating a universal human law against an emotionally and physically undeveloped, fragile human being.
That law is born of our intelligence and insight, gained and polished throughout the centuries. It's common sense.
I don't have all the answers on this topic. I don't know every right and wrong, under every circumstance. All I have is my personal history, and my thoughts. Each person must look in the mirror and know if they are a good person or not-- and anyone hurting a child knows what that makes them.
