Peadophiles in the House of Commons

“At least a sizeable minority of normal males would like to have sex with children … Normal males are aroused by children.”

Natural and normal they say? Somehow, I don't think so.

They're trying to class pedophilia as a lifestyle choice just like they have homosexuality. A few years and there will be no age of consent

I'm not sure what you are getting at here.

Are you implying that in some way paedophilia is similar to homosexuality?, or just an absurd comment ignoring the fact that the reason homosexuality is fine & legal is due to the fact it causes no more objective harm than heterosexual ones & has no issues related to informed consent (unlike paedophilia which has a huge potential for harm, abuse & can't be engaged in between two people able to give consent).
 
British Isles. More like the Paedoph Isles.

It's also missing the point. If the attraction is naturally occurring or not isn't really the key factor.

A child is incapable of giving consent & in any way acting upon those desires (either by viewing material of a child being abused) or partaking in abuse (children are incapable of giving informed consent) is harmful.

All that study is really saying is, "paedophilia is not that uncommon" which is both depressing & believable in equal measure.

Although I think our age of consent is correct and those who break the law should be harshly punished, it's also a bit arbitrary. A girl at fifteen can be as physically mature as a seventeen year old, in which case the fact some men are attracted to her should not be surprising or offensive. Those men are not in the same category as those with attraction to the physically immature, which are the ones we ought to be most concerned about.

Of course, the above doesn't excuse anyone. Laws are to be obeyed. But I'm less inclined to get by pitchfork and torch out over that teacher who ran off with the 15 year old girl. Its creepy and he deserves to be locked up of course.
 
I'm suprised I haven't seen a thread on this yet. I'm also quite suprised it doesn't have a lot of coverage. For example today's headline on the BBC is about Afghanistan.

Is this just the tip of the iceberg? Should we expect more than the 20 suspected peadophile MPs to be exposed?

To be serious for just a second, I don't think it doesn't have a lot of coverage - I've seen plenty of it. Obviously there are limits to what may be reported - remember Lord McAlpine? Wrongly accused by the BBC, who pulled the report at the last minute but it still got out on twitter and a load of people ended up with egg on their faces.
 
It is perfectly natural, but unlike things like consensual gay sex someone gets hurt.
It's also an odd use of the term natural.

If by natural they mean occurring in nature, then by that definition everything which happens in the universe is natural (the opposite being super-natural).

I got felt up by Casper the ghost when i was 11 :(
Dont judge me.
 
Really, it seems like some proponents of paedophilia (mentioned in the article) are attempting to misuse the term 'natural' to mean 'acceptable', ergo the media focus.

Really?

I guess it depends on what you class as "children". 14-15 year old who has gone through puberty and "developed"? Yeah, I guess that's natural, but that would be classed as ephebophilia.

An actual child? Nope, can't say I find anything sexually attractive there...

That's ignoring the biological/evolutionary reasons - i.e. that they are unable to reproduce.

I think that he was joking. But it seems, with the help of the media, people don't seem to know what paedophilia means.
