Damn good job being born with a brain that doesn’t involuntarily respond to youth. You must have worked really hard for that. You should be proud of yourself! Let’s all shame and revile those people who deliberately decided to be born with brains that respond with arousal to children, instead of helping them find safe ways to deal with it! Yeaaaah!!
Really, you think that pedophilia is something that “just happens in your brain.” You’re being ridiculous. There is no unconscious. People choose to rape children. They’re not being controlled by the chemicals in their brain. How the fuck am I even following you?
Pedophilia is attraction to children. You can be attracted to children without raping them, jesus christ. As a child molested by a pedophile when I was younger, I obviously am 100% wholly against touching children. Let’s keep them safe, absolutely.
You can choose not to rape children, but you can’t choose to eliminate the attraction. You can’t just control your own brain’s arousal reactions like that, humans simply do not function that way.
You can control your own brain’s arousal because YOU ARE YOUR BRAIN. In the same way that you can actively decide to not view women as objects you can also actively decide to not sexualize children.
I was wrong to assume you meant raping a child - honestly, I felt super heated and thought of the worst thing possible.
I was molested for 9 years of my life and I have dealt with fetishizing youth due to my trauma, but I think it’s very possible to change what arouses you. It’s an ongoing struggle, but these thoughts are not something that “just happen.” You can alter these desires and decide to not enjoy certain thoughts or fantasies by repetitively countering them with negative feelings. I think it takes time to unlearn things. Pedophilia is not a harmless attraction. You can have these thoughts and not act on them, but it does not change the way you interact with children or the way you view children. If you constantly associate it with being “disabled” or as being part of an unconscious - you have no reason to criticize your desires.
