The fact that you're ace explains a bit. You simply have no experience with this.

When I was 14, I was horny as hell. My "sex juices" were most certainly flowing. I crushed on several girls in school but at that age I was far too awkward to even speak to them. Let alone know what to do with my frustration aside from masturbate.

Not allowing my libido to drive me to hurting someone is the easiest thing ever. It was then, still is today. (No, I do not feel a need to fuck a 14-year-old, I sleep with adults around my own age)

Nothing about the research into pedophilia suggests that their libidos work in some different way. If you're a moral person who doesn't want to hurt anyone, you will do your best not to. And not having sex with children is a pretty easy call to make.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't exactly think clearly when turned on, but it has never, ever, even in a years-long dry spell, led me to even slightly consider actually doing something with someone without their consent.

Nothing you can tell me can convince me that a person who doesn't want to hurt others, can be made to do so by their sex drive.

Especially considering you don't even know what having a libido feels like.

Also, to make it very clear, at no point did I say being turned on by kids is ok.

I said the condition itself doesn't automatically turn a person into a rapist, the same way a normal sex drive doesn't either.

Seriously, look it up, "treatments" for pedophilia, boiled down, is literally just consent training, and it works. Not in the sense that the libido goes away (though that can be done medically) but in the sense that these people do not then go on to rape anyone, children or otherwise.

You can't just apply your experience to everyone especially if your experience is not the typical one as you've stated you're asexual. Nothing wrong with being asexual, but that's not the typical state most people are in.

That aside the example was 14 years old, your "sex juices" are absolutely "flowing" at that point.

You wouldn't have a point even if my user history was 100% anime. If "they like anime" is the most damning comeback you can come up with, I'm not sure where to even begin setting you straight.

It's pretty clear that actual level-headed discussion by people who have looked into the reasearch on this is something that sets off a raging hate-boner for you, completely preventing you from actually considering what is being said.

Your very first edit revealed you didn't even read my full comment before responding. I'm not sure you've fully understood any part of what I've said, or you'd be attempting and failing to dismantle my argument, instead of attempting and failing to dismantle my character.

You're being downvoted because you're simply wrong on this, and being a hateful asshole about it to boot.

So, like a no-attraction-towards-less-than-18-year-olds-allowed-vaccine that we just give everyone? That would work.

You don't need to be passive aggressive about mentioning months. I know. I can also tell you that unfortunately the condition isn't chemical. People are born with it.

My point is that you only get a molester when they have the condition, and also lack the control that all the rest of us have for not raping people. As such, removing the urges is only solving half the problem. You'd still be letting people who'd rape adults through the cracks.

Dealing with those types of people would counter both pedos, and rapists in general.

Consent training is the real solution, and is what actual "treatment" for pedos seeking help currently consists of, and in some cases just total libido suppression through medical means.
