Understanding Pedophilia
This is a blog dedicated to the understanding of pedophilia. It aims to outline the reasons behind the disorder, the prejudice directed at those who suffer from it, possible treatment options and, more importantly, illustrate the difference between pedophilia and child abuse. This blog in no way condones, or excuses, any sort of child abuse.

Hello! I stumbled across your blog as I am reading "Lolita" for school. What is your opinion on the book? :)

I have not actually ever read the book lolita. However, I have read this extremely interesting article, which kind of puts me off ever reading the book as I do know that it romanticises the relationship.

Your blog is so fucking amazing, you have the best mind set hah. I found myself nodding in agreement at pretty much everything you post so, salute :)

Thank you so, so much! It’s a mind set more people should be aware of, there needs to be more education, more understanding… and just more common sense!

Everything is fine, I’ve been very, very busy, but everything is okay. Should be able to post much more often after the… 25th of May.

We need a blog that expresses the love and the positive sides of pedophilia.

This blog is more geared towards pedophilia as a psychosexual disorder. It is all about reducing stigma, but I’d be more than hesitate to call pedophilia ‘positive’.

Minor-attracted people need to band together and become a voice as well as have political and monetary support and media coverage. We are not demons! We are humans and are able to express love just like a heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual. We express love and deserve the right to love no matter how screwed up society makes us out to be.

I definitely agree with you in part. However, you deserve the right to love, but you do not have the right to sexually abuse children - no one should have that right, no one deserves that right.

(PART 2) I also enjoy seeing grown men having sex, but I am definitely NOT a hetero female. I actually only find woman desirable irl, so I personally think that saying I am automatically a pedophile just because I enjoy a sexual pairing with a child is ridiculous. But what do you think?

I don’t think that does mean you’re a pedophile. An attraction to pre-pubescent children is what pedophilia is, and if you’re not actually attracted to them, as in - you, personally, do not want to engage in sexual activity with them, then I wouldn’t consider you a pedophile.

(PART 1) First of all, I just want to say that I love your blog. But that's not really why I'm here. I'm here because I have something I want your opinion on. I've noticed that there is a girl who also knows about your blog and agrees with it, but she keeps going around saying people are pedophiles for enjoying a pairing on an anime which involves an older man and a young boy. While I do love reading smut about the pairing, I don't think that should classify me as a pedophile.

criminalprofiler: How a Pedophile Grooms a Victim A pedophile is often someone that the child knows, and because of this is able to create a relationship through what is referred to as ‘grooming’. The purpose of grooming is to cement a relationship that will ensure compliance and this process is used by the majority of pedophiles. There are five stages to the grooming process: Stage 1: Identifying a possible victim Although pedophiles differ in their “type” regarding age, appearance, and gender, all pedophiles will look for a victim who seems in some way vulnerable. Stage 2: Collecting Information The next step is for the pedophile to collect as much information on the targeted victim as possible. This is most commonly done through casual conversations with both the child and the parents or care-taker. Stage 3: Filling a Need Once the individual has the information he needs he then becomes a part of the child’s life by “filling a need”. If the victim is poor, for example, the pedophile will provide him/her with expensive toys. If the victim is lonely, the pedophile will act as a friend. Stage 4: Lowering Inhibitions The pedophile will then start to lower the child’s inhibitions concerning sexual matters. He may come up with games or activities that involve getting undressed, make sexual comments, or show the child pornographic images or pictures. Stage 5: Initiating the Abuse At this final stage the pedophile begins to sexually abuse the child. (Photo: Phillip R. Greaves II, author of “The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure”) This title should be how a ‘CHILD MOLESTER’ grooms a victim, not all pedophiles groom and molest children The photo in this post is of Phillip R. Greaves, a man who is an open pedophile, but has never been convicted of molesting a child. By using his photo you are assuming that this is a process every pedophile goes through whether or not they have been found guilty of this crime. This man is an out pedophile, but the only crime he has ever been arrested for is ‘distribution of obscene material’ [not child pornography, but his book.]

I track the "pedophilia" tag. Today, there is a post on there with 87 notes (as of this writing) describing "How a Pedophile Grooms a Victim." As terrible as that is by itself, what makes it so much worse is the post includes an image of Phillip R Greaves (II) - an out-of-the-closet pedophile author who has NEVER been charged with abusing a child. I have seen 2 versions of the post. One is tagged with "child molester" and the other is tagged with "serial killer." I think I'm going to be sick...

That’s not right. Okay, thank you for telling me about this, I think I actually follow the original poster, going to re-blog and correct this!!!
