Thank you for bringing light to a taboo topic-we cannot find answers or solutions without understanding the situation at hand

In a world where life expectancy was mid 20s, 75% of births did not reach the age of reproduction, the species did not have the luxury of waiting too long.

Just because you have a attraction to someone don't make it right to act on it.

im just tryna find out why this guy named drake likes me

I'm curious on statistics on pedofiles offending because especially since the Internet i think it's probably more uncommon that they never offend. Most do commit and act on these urges it's facts and most of them are repeat offenders . I'm not saying there are not a few that don't but I would guess it's a very few because if you are fantasizing long enough on urges most people try to live out their fantasies.

Please, I must know, was Michael Jackson a pedophile/ child molester? Thanks.

Feminism is to blame. Women play hard to get then men have to adapt and find someone more submissive. Stop blaming men for being pedophiles and start blaming women for being unsubmissive and manipulative.

I've read that pedophilia is biologically innate, thus they can't help if they're sexually attracted to pre pubescent ppl., but they can help it if they especially practice it w/actual prepubescent ppl.

This is extremely important to understand. Yes it’s distressing but it is a part of society and demonize it hasn’t really worked well for us. If more people understood it we might be able to deal with abuse of children better. Thanks for the video, it’s very informative and I learned a great deal.

😮 keep them far away from our children!

Stop trying to justify perversions like pedophilia with science. Science isn’t going to solve the issue. This is a psychological disorder resulting from a perverted mind due to I controlled thinking and lack of control over ones emotions. Medications aren’t going to help, only manage it at best. It requires a psychological and spiritual cure. www.amazon.ca/spiritual-pedophilia-survivor-child-sexual-ebook/dp/B0DDBG98DH/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=2Z37KQTQ7L45N&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.dGB1D9l8Hpon1nHsGoAETA.XqGUnjPYAEcJmBupkyNrWzqu7GiWfqN8PYZj4CY8S1I&dib_tag=se&keywords=a+spiritual+cure+to+pedophilia&qid=1723934825&sprefix=a+spiritual+cure+to+pedophilia%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-1

there's nothing to understand about these monsters i don't feel empathy for them someone that have been abused won't ever be the same after that it's a ruined life all these monsters should be kept away from children

The whole use of the terms "offending" and "non-offending" is perversive. We don't speak like this when talking about normal people who may have or may have not committed m*rder, why should it be any different with pedophiles or hebephiles or any minor attracted person?

I wonder how far psychology is going to go and how much bullshit were being fed because im 37 and i still dont have the correct mental diagnosis after seeing an ungodly amount of therapists. And they chemically used me as a guinea pig... With high doses of really harsh shit.

I don't know why, but your face in the thumbnail gives off the same vibe as a Moistkritical vid with a title like "This Guy is Quite the Doofus" and his face is in the thumbnail.

drake,you need to watch this

This is arguably one of the most challenged topics that people are usually afraid to talk about. How did it go that way?

What about pubescent teens?

I can show so many 17 year olds that EVERYONE will think is in their 20s... the 15-17 ___ is not weird to get confused with. Were so emotionally angry about the topic that we are treating it as black and white, when its not black and white. That 15-17 is a mad grey area for people that like 18-40 yr olds. If you think im wrong you can ask me or simply look up on youtube a "guess this persons age quiz" for 15-30 yr olds and see if you can figure whos under or over 18-20. Watch how bad you fail on some people. The next time you go outside, you gone start actually wondering if the people you know are 20 yrs old, are actually 20, cause some of them you will get wrong I was 15 with a full on beard, if i let it grow it would have been longer than the hair on some women's heads by the time i turned 16, longer than most women by 17. Yes people knew without a doubt that i was in 19+ yrs old, at 15. People still think im 35 at 25yrs old. I get hit on by older women more than women my age We need to stop acting like we brand new to an old topic. We started asking for IDs at clubs and Bars a long time ago, for the most OBVIOUS reason. Come on now...

We need to find a way to help these individuals deal with their urges in a healthy way without acting on them.

The problem here, is that this is all pseudoscience trying to fit the cultural narrative and the cultural narrative ignores it anyway and calls everything pedophilia. Children can be attractive and beautiful, they don't have to be "Not attractive" When does someone "Being attractive" give you the right to do something harmful to them? Why would that be different if it is a child ?

Im a guy, I was molested by a pediatrician kids doctor. Every visit i would have to undress to just briefs and she would pull them down off me as i laid on table telling me to just relax

Normalizing pedophilia doesn't mean suddenly decriminalising child abuse and molestation, along with it's related CSAM, same as straight people cannot sexually assault the target of their desires, even though they can legally conscent. It means allowing pedophiles to accept their urges and allow them to talk about it more and get help socializing to have something to lose if they act. It also allows them to learn about all the harm and torture victims are forced to go through when they're abused. Most pedophiles can empathize with victims. It's only a minority who's anti-social.

These types of attractions are common enough throughout history. Normative in degrees. They can sublimate to higher orders (Jung definition) - but our culture does not help someone sit in a healthy way with the attractions. There are plenty of reasons culture does this but it is a fools errands. And plenty of reasons for culture to make a more sophisticated response.

Pedo that dont rape are even more dangerous as they get into positiond such as a boardship that might one day wronlg recommend that pedophile is normal and shouldn't be criminalized ......that is a huge problem....conflict of interest if they are in place to make any ruling on pedophile... But rgey aren't disclosing themselves are they....so a blanket testing should be done to identify them every person though i not sure on how females can be identified .or maybe arrousal towards all ages of children can be detected in women as it can with males....... When it comes to protecting children 4th,5th 6th amenmment rights as well as many i issed should not apply...and it has to be assumed your in favor of not protecting children if you wont get tested and identified as attracted sexual to kids..... Agreed to never having contact with children..same as those identified as pedo non rape status.... As well as chip to locate you when abd where a child rape happed....... technically id be suspicious of anyone seeking to be around kids.... kids make me cringe or cause me stress when they are all screaming ...i only want to leave so i question why a man wants to be with kids..... But no adult men allowed to be alone withkuds ..always have another man or woman to watch against pedophile Maybe. too much but certainly better then too little... Kids should never be preyed upon

if someone is studying this do they test themselves for this and make the result public?

2:11 this is what I don’t get…I’m a woman and attracted to men…I don’t try to overpower men and molest them or try to overpower or rape them…why do pedophiles have to act on the people they’re attracted to?????

A very interesting video and I agree with the argument that Ephebophilia is practially the same as Teleiophilia. I find it weird how in the west ephebophilia is thrown into the same context as potentially destructive paraphilias that target children, when not too long ago, 16 year olds got married, stayed married their whole lives, birthed many children and lived relatively happy and normal lives. As stated in the video, many people with "normal" attraction (Teleiophilia) also find adolescents attractive. Note how Teleiophilia is also supposed to start at 18, a legal definition in most countries for "adult", not a biological one. There is really not that much difference between a 16 and an 18 year old. There is a significant difference between "being (physically) attracted" to something and actually taking action to get it. In the evolutionary context this also doesn't make sense, since people who have reached a far enough stage in puberty are capable of having normal pregnancies and producing healthy offspring, as well as having developed sexual organs, pubic hair and curves, something paedophiles are surely not attracted to. Over a certain age in puberty, teenagers have developed personalities as well as an image of what they desire or not, including being sexual (so controversial to say). Children can neither produce offspring, nor are they physically or mentally developed in any way, shape or form. They are small, vulnerable, in development and innocent. Harming that is clearly sick and dispicable, even more so in cases where the perpetrators are family or friends. In the same sense, you could view mesophiliacs (40-60+) as somewhat sick, especially towards the higher end in age, but adults / seniors are mentally developed and physically past their prime, so it's just viewed as "weird", not dispicable or rage inducing. One can argue that it has societal and social repercussions, as well as communication problems and difference in personal interests, preferences and energy at one's disposal when there's too much of an age gap of course, but then why all the talk about "girls grow up faster than boys"? What's weird is that insults are not only aimed at those who date below the magical number of 18, but also 20, 25 or even 30+ if the older person has a significant age difference. There is also a gigantic double standard that mostly criticizes older men, not older women going for younger partners. A woman could post about being happily married for 15+ years with 3 children already and having married at 18 years old with someone who is 30 and older women would flock to the post commenting about how she must have been manipulated, groomed, molested, incapable of deciding for herself, etc. If you're still going to get criticized by lots of people for dating below 30, what's the point in listening to them? Most of them sound like old, bitter and alone women who spread negativity. Just like "marriage or relationship advice" on social media boils down to just "leave your partner, he's bad and you're too good", regardless of the context. Complaining about people not being the same age totally leaves out overall statistical preferences where men prefer younger women and women prefer older men. Men and women have different stages of attractiveness. Typically, women are young, beautiful and fertile, men are supposed to be experienced, have succesful careers and provide for their family. Biology backs this fact up, as women have lost most of their eggs at age 30 and the chances of disabilities in newborn rise higher and higher with age. Even more laughable is when someone who is 19 dates a 16 yo and people lose their shit over it like he's the worst person to ever exist, even though both consent to it. I was capable of consent at 15, I might've not been super experienced in life or made the best decisions overall, but I sure knew I could decide to consent myself. This overreliance on the magical 18 number is weird and it boils down to making good personal decisions based on parenting, intelligence, common sense and awareness in the end. Westerners look down upon middle eastern countries because people marry early and rarely divorce like it's a bad thing (I'm not talking about forced [child] marriages, just young people or partners with an age gap who both consent in general), when it's perfectly normal in our culture to go "You're 16, go sleep around with random boys your age." and having a divorce rate of 50 %, not including non-marital relationships that break up, so most kids grow up without a stable family structure. Promiscuity statistics are clear on the long term harm it does on relationship success prospects. If I had a daughter, I would rather she marry a well adjusted 30 year old she loves and who treats her well, than having a situationship with some punk teenager who will break up with her anyway, leaving her with psychological baggage and trauma.

YOU ARE EVIL< SICK & CLEARLY DECEIVED BY HaSATAN!

Oh my lord… this world is sick

I think oppressing the sexual predators from tools that help them will lead to offense in the real world.

I used to have one and plan on getting another one. I got mine because of being in a apartment by myself for the first time after being in 2 ten year relationships. I would use it to sleep with or fuck. Just made it easier being alone. Now I had women coming over to do stuff with me but nothing serious from them which I wanted (knowing how women are) so if I wasn't with my highschool ex girlfriend or a girl from a date I had the doll as a replacement.

Hey Dr.! Thank you for this informative video. This is exactly what i was looking for. Really appreciate your efforts

Every man is one and always one, your gender is horrible don’t normalise this bs

Friendly reminder to those with OCD that this video might not be a good idea to watch! Reassurance seeking is a compulsion, too. Take care of yourself and your mental health!

Community?!?

Y'all remember that slippery slope everyone was worried about in the 70's? Well THIS is the bottom of that slope! THIS is what it has evolved into! Maybe they can't g help being attracted to minors but that doesn't mean we should normalize it. That shyt is not ok

The different labeling of PEDOPHILIA is problematic AF. UNDER 18 IS OFF LIMITS. PERIOD. And even (for example) a 40 year old dating an 18 year old is weird AF... You're weird AF. GET HELP BEFORE YOU HURT THE ONE YOU HAVE CONVINCED YOURSELF YOU LOVE.

I've been around a pedo socially for 4 years unknowingly. Only just been informed of their past and jail time. I was shocked but things about their behaviour and my gut feelings of this person gave me the creeps. What I observed was Mr Nice Guy, always was extra happy to give you a dopamine rush to the brain. If didn't get own way gave a cold blank stare, instant anger and impulsive. When around children was grooming their behaviour, had to be in control, would have play fights to break down barriers, mentally very manipulating and secretive. Is still on the 10 year sex offenders list and around children😮. Was a teacher and volunteer Police Sergeant grading child abuse porn😮. At friend's house and he has access to her security cameras - I saw him on his laptop. She has a family hot tub in garden😮. I'm nervous this person is a Psycho. He has no empathy so any sexual arousal or controlling behaviour creates a dopamine rush. I'm intuitive and sense danger if this person is confronted by their predatory behaviour - it's all planned and calculated to meet his needs and end goal - no compassion or awareness of hurting other people basically no consciousness - is it even human?

Great research and analysis!

I have 5 sex dolls, starting 6 years ago. I love them all and don't want to miss them. Yet they are much more than just sex toys. They are companions and prevent me from feeling alone. They are fun to dress, make photo shootings and post them in forums about that topic. Most women I have ever been together with were with me because of this or that advantage but certainly not because they loved me. I don't hate women but I'm also not chasing them anymore. I'm happy with my dolls.

So they manipulate my bond with children so I purposefully can’t bond with them while they are in hot pursuit because the disorder has been triggered.

Absolute rubbish. Children are not sex toys and are not "up for it" as known paedophiles are arguing. Any kind of sexual attraction to children is WRONG and you can dress it up how you like, "following the science" (which we know very well can prove anything provided there is money for research and doesn't actually mean anything). still means it is MORALLY WRONG

Perverted sexual desires. Sex the way god created it. Attraction to kids, same sex, porn etc… is not normal.

It's a lot meaningless terms, what counts as sexual arousal ? Being aware of sexually attractive qualities in children ? Unless you can identify a atypical property, I don't see the point. It's ridiculous, A policewoman tried to argue that because Collin's dictionary says Pedo = Someone sexually attracted to children, that you meet the legal criteria by saying a 17 year old model is sexy. This needs sorting out.

I can only tell my story of thoughts that "attacked" me. I was once let down by my closest friends called as a freak and a bad person. It really hitted me deaply. And then, one month later, I had my very first strong and heavy panic attack with the loss of orientation and a spinning head feeling. At this point, the thoughts, especially the anxiety of being a pedophile startet. I was fighting against these thoughts with any less knowledge because I didn't know what these actually were and how I got them. Until one day, where I visited a neurological doctor who told me the issue that I had was just some intrusive thoughts. It made me feel better when I realized after his conclusion that these thoughts don't mean anything about me. The time went until I asked myself if intrusive thoughts appear randomly in the mind of someone, then why did my felt like they were aimed at a specific point? So I did some research until i discovered pocd. It gave me hope where I red that people who suffer under POCD are scared of children and have no chance of becoming a pedophile. Till this day I still fight against my POCD, but I know that these thoughts don't mean anything to me an any little thing like listening to a song where the lyrics says the word child doesn't make me instantly a pedophile. Yeah, it's like that by me. And i also found out that most pedophiles have an low IQ, have images of thoughts that an normal person won't have and they don't feel empathy. But I do feel it , a lot. And Ibknow that this is a crime that goes beyond the humanal race. And I also hate crimes. But they don't care if its bad or not. The only thing they care is to "entertain" themselves.

And can anyone tell me when obe nation literally entire nation has it what happens?😊

The thing is, people who agreed that it is normal and not inherently abnormal for persons to be attracted to same sex cannot make any meaningful argument against this MAP

I have a question ⁉️ do pedophiles feel the same way about their own children ⁉️

Disgusting humans , if u have morals u wouldn't think about kids like that , this is serious , this is disgustingly serious
