If you could become a non-pedophile...

[indeepdaddy]

Is it possible to become "Non-Pedo"? I hope not, at least for myself.

[Biped]

I have always said that if there were a magic pill which could "cure" me of my pedophilia, I'd take it. However, the way I feel about that has changed slightly in recent years. I'd still take the pill, but until recently I would have said that I'd like to replace my attraction to children with an attraction to adults. Now I'd just prefer that it leave me completely asexual. I used to wish I could be attracted to adults, but now I'm in my 40s and I've gotten so accustom to living and being alone, I can't imagine having it any other way. If I were to get into any kind of adult relationship, I think I'd start to feel suffocated very easily. Especially if a significant other was living with me. I'd rather just not be attracted to anybody. I think that would be pretty nice.

As an aside, I'll say that I would not want to lose my fondness for children, only my attraction to them. There are several reasons for that but the biggest one is that I would give anything to no longer be tempted to look at CP. Unfortunately, no magic pedophilia curing pill is ever going to exist. I can dream.

Let's say I have a magical pill. The only effect of this pill is that you will lose all sexual attraction to anyone who is more than 15% younger than you. The effects are permanent. As you age, your AoA increases as well.

Would you take the pill? Why or why not?

I am personally very divided on this idea.

Without a doubt. The only thing I'd be concerned about losing is my non-sexual love of children, but it doesn't sound like that's part of your hypothetical. I love children in a deep, borderline religious way that goes beyond sex. I know this because I am not exclusively a minor attracted person and I have no sexual interest in girls, but I do not feel any sort of atypical platonic love for men and women and I feel no less platonic love for girls than I do for boys. Kids are kids. Kids are sacred to me. I would give my life not only for the children I know, but also for children I've never met.

I would never take the pill now because I don't want to be cured at this point in my life. I would take the pill when I was 14 to avoid all the trauma and consequences I have experienced by engaging in sex with children.

The main issue for all of us is mostly western society, hyped up in hysteria misportraying and misunderstanding us and abusing us from that. How about if there was a pill that makes it impossible to feel hate and make people act reasonably rather than emotionally? Can we get everyone in society to take that instead?

Other than that I can't ever picture myself being emotionally attracted to adults the same way I feel for the young. I have adult friends sure, and I still need them to talk adult stuff with, but to commit myself to a relationship with one is something I have no motivation for. They're hardened, toughened, self sufficient and they don't need me just as much as I don't want them. Whereas the young ones are so pure. Some are a little fiesty yeah, but inside their naievity, the trust the place on you and how they look up to you, their wide beaming eyes looking at you like a blank canvas ready to accept your words... can't describe it exactly but it's heart melting. Youth is something to be treasured. It's beautiful and pure. Reminds you of simpler times. Those teleiophiles I say don't know what they're missing out on.

As long as I would gain an attraction to adults, I'd be very tempted! I think it's more tempting because I don't actually date kids or anyone so I'm just lonely all the time. Of course I have friends IRL but it's not the same. I can focus on projects but I'd rather have a love life to obsess over. That hasn't been a prospect in years.

[Nudistlad]

I would never take the pill, no regrets. Happy with how I am and how I'm enjoying the lifestyle

If this pill didn't erase any memories of the time when I was attracted to children I could consider it if my life situation would change in a way my attractions caused too much problems. I have often pondered on whether my life would have been better without this attraction but I think I still have gained more than it has taken. For one I feel it has taught me empathy towards people of sexual minorities or any other way different than "normal" people.
Having lived through my life hiding something that is an essential part of me really teaches you perspective.

From a hypothetical perspective it's easy to say NO I WOULD NOT TAKE IT. I worry if such a pill is ever created, pedophilia would become something you choose. So I feel like in reality pedophiles would be heavily pressured to take it whether they want it or not. I would probably give up to the pressure and I would take it sooner or later in life. I think it would be a shame since a lot of child sexual abuse is not caused by pedophiles anyway.

[Puck]

I would 100%

[itsover]

Without a doubt, I would take it. 100%

[ChildDreamer]

If I could I think I would. It would take so much pressure from the shoulders.
But I can't imagine there could be any pill that what not make me think how sexy some girls at my actually preferred ages look like.

[Sakiko]

I definitely would.

Little cuties are a joy to look at, and having sex with them must be awesome, but it also gets you in jail.

I very much would prefer not to desire something I cannot have.

[Laddie]

Absolutely. Pedophilia is a genuine sexual orientation, but it's one that's incompatible with society. I've before called it an inconvenient sexual orientation.

I didn't choose to be a pedophile, none of us did. I don't like young girls because of the taboo nature, or because I want to have some kind of control over somebody more vulnerable than I am. I want a relationship with somebody I'm in love with and vice-versa.

If I could take a pill and be attracted to adult women I'd do it in a heartbeat. I'd take one if it made me attracted to grown men.

This is a big part of why I wouldn't want to have my pedophilia taken away. Okay yeah sure it's a huge ass taboo to be in love with children and if everyone knows about my attraction I would probably get beaten up by so many people thinking I probably raped their kid (even though I make their kids laugh and smile!). But pedophilia has taught me a lot about life, plus I feel like if my pedophilia would be taken away I would feel extremely... empty, I guess? It's not like I'll suddenly stop thinking about children. Part of my love for children is pedophilic, and I would HATE to have to not have crushes on children, no matter how much it makes life harder. I love adults too, but I fall in love with children far stronger than with adults. Children are pure, and I love them.

Fuck the pill. I'm staying myself. If I get beat up, I shouldn't have been so careless.
Also, fuck you, if you're going to beat me up. <3
