What are your thoughts on pedophilia?

I think pedophiles need help. If someone has thoughts of young children, but doesn't act on those feelings, does that make him or her a bad person? No. Because they struggle with these feelings and choose not to act on it. Those that do need to be imprisoned. Those that don't, they need therapy, they need some form of counseling and help.

I mean, if people can be something-sexual, I don't see a problem with it. They're basically the same shit.

@SINAI Explain what you mean, please?

SINAI · T

@ManicMicah It's attraction. Gays to the same sex, and pedo just happens to be with kids.

ManicMicah · 22-25, M

@SINAI That is true. But homosexuality is legal (although not everywhere unfortunately), meanwhile pedophilia is not.

@ManicMicah The heart wants what it wants.

ManicMicah · 22-25, M

@SINAI Yes, but it doesn't necessarily make it "right" either. If you had a child and some man wanted them sexually, how would that make you feel?

@ManicMicah Depends. Is she a sexy Arabian princess?

ManicMicah · 22-25, M

@SINAI Um. No. I'm talking about, if anyone over the age of 20 was after your son or daughter who is younger than 16, how would you feel about that? Not well, I'd assume, if you were a decent parent.

@ManicMicah As long as they meet my requirements, we'll be able to work something out.

ManicMicah · 22-25, M

@SINAI Okay, you have to be pulling my leg now. No parent would want their little teenage or pre-teen child dating a person in their twenties, thirties or beyond. Unless you're a fucked up individual.

@ManicMicah You spend more of your life as an adult than as a kid, you do realize that? That's a what? 10, 15, 20 year difference?

ManicMicah · 22-25, M

@SINAI What I'm saying is, young kids are not sexually ready for...the sex.

SINAI · T

@ManicMicah What makes you think it's sex? I said attraction, that doesn't automatically default it to sex.

ManicMicah · 22-25, M

@SINAI No, but a majority of people, once they feel sexual attraction...they just really want sex. I'm not sure there are many twenty year olds who want to date a ten year old and not expect to have sex with them.

@ManicMicah There's always oral and anal. They'll be fine.

@ManicMicah This isn't the first time this individual post this kind of responses.

It must be his thing, hence the bias.
