Pedophiles have lower levels of white matter, lower IQ's, and tend to be left handed

White matter is apparently responsible for how inter-connected the brain is. (crazy that pedo's might just be born that way huh? just like psychopaths.)
So I'm thinking, psychedelics might allow the brain to inter-connect better. Maybe some research needs to be done on this. Just imagine how good it would make psychedelics look if they could cure that too!
If they are born that way, we need to stop demonizing them and actually figure out a way to help them. (I'd call myself a pedo-sympathizer) (only pedo's who have never touched a child. sex offenders and pedo's are two different things)

Are they not "demonized" because there are laws that they don't follow? Does being "born that way" justify them knowing the law and breaking it anyway?
I'm sure the line gets a little fuzzier once the "child" in question reaches the mid to late teenage years. But when it comes to very small children, why can they not exhibit self control and choose to not act on those urges?
troll post or not, there you go.
the problem isn't solely the way their brain is, it's the lack of self discipline. I'm sure you can use psychedelics to teach someone that. But it's a matter of whether they want it or not.
And is needed by people for various reasons. Not solely pedophiles.

imagine if your sexual preference was something like that. Imagine if the only kind of porn you liked was illegal, and the only kind of sex you liked was illegal and harmful.
People can't just sit there and jerk it to their thoughts forever. Abstinence doesn't work, so why would just telling pedo's to keep it in their pants work?
To say that the problem is discipline is quite ignorant.
the demonization would be there if they never touched a child. people can't stand the thought of somebody being sexually attracted to a 5 year old. They simply don't want to think about it. has little to do with law breaking.
Raping children is still super bad obviously. not a troll post

not people who rape children, people who are sexually attracted to them.
Once they start fucking up other peoples lives, and hence perpetuating the cycle of pedophilia, then it becomes another thing in my mind.

Why did you give an admitted pedophile a five shroom rating, saying that you admire his willingness to explore "young people's sexuality", calling everyone who decries that behavior "closed minded"? In your own words, please explain to me what is so "smart" about child molestation.

Taboo threads are always interesting.

Just to flip your hypothesis around, what if psychedelics rewire the mind for the worse and could take normal sexuality and turn it into pedophilia?
If shrooms turn you gay, "blank" turns you into a pedo.

that rating (which I'm surprised you even know about) was in response to a conversation me and that guy had been having. thats the context of the rating
Its been a while since then, but I know I would never congratulate somebody for having sex with children. When I said I enjoy that he explores child sexuality, I must have meant exploring it through conversation.
I simply feel bad for the people who wake up one day and the only thing that gets them off anymore is kiddie stuff. Can you imagine how much that would fuck up your life? a mere change in sexual taste.
