2008-01-28 TVO/The Agenda: Rethinking Pedophilia (4/4)

[MeepullStewray]

Thank you for having a rational and truthful discussion about this.

I'm a pedophile and I would never hurt a child. It is a sad and unsatisfying life and I would take any other in its place.

No-one would choose this. Imagine being hated by everyone for something you cant control. Were hated irrationally like blacks once were, and gays once were.

We should get people like me help from a very young age to prevent it from getting to the point of child abduction. I'm glad i had good parents.

@MeepullStewray Thanks for sharing this. I believe a lot of people struggle with this kind of feelings in the same way as you do. It is important for society not to demonize these feelings but discuss them openly and realistically. These feelings should be acknowledged as early as possible and receive professional guidance to teach people how to cope with them to prevent damaging behavior.

@MeepullStewray Ur right, I'm 40 and all my adult life, I did demonize pedophiles until I saw this. I would lie if I said I now understand the illness, but I now have a different understanding and approach of it. Are u getting help? Do u even need help or do U deal with ur own demons, like most of us?

[MeepullStewray]

@evyyaguibou I've told people about it, I've come to terms with it and I don't let it run my life. I have honestly and proudly never even thought about acting on any of my fantasies. I only wish it were so easy for all people like me. I haven't felt that I needed help from someone else to keep it under control but I can tell you that there were points in my life wen help would have been great.

@MeepullStewray Good for U. If most people had ur will, less people would get in trouble. Keep it up and stay positive.
