Do you believe that this is a symptom of your autism? It has been shown that autistic individuals lack 'appropriate' sex drives in varying ways (like being asexual in some cases or by being highly deviant). Having interest in 2D but not real people strikes me as a malformed sex drive.
If I had to give a hypothesis, I would say it is a product of or related to autism, yes. I wouldn't characterize a preference for drawn aesthetics and fictional characters over RL is aberrant or malformed, only different. Of course, it does reduce my likelihood of finding a mate, and the hebephilic bent to my preferences reduces the chance further (though I'm also non-exclusive), so I would say this is disadvantageous if one wants to find a soulmate.
That's like being upset that someone who admits to being a rapist waltzing into a women's shelter.
Not only is the setting very unlike the one I was complaining about, but "rapist" is a label based on one's actions. "Hebe/pedophile" is a label based on desires/orientation.
Even if you, personally, will never molest any child, the fact remains that many of them can and will, and that will ruin at least one life. Their suspicion has nothing to do with YOU, personally.
I suspect you don't understand pertinent details about this. The second psychologist made a rather panicked outburst upon me telling her I'm hebephilic, "There are children here!". Very few of us are unhinged enough to flirt with children in fucking
waiting rooms. Unfortunately, that is the stereotype of us that has taken hold even within her profession, that even being near children for a few seconds is dangerous.
The first one was genuinely very fearful of negative repercussions if she took me on as a client and I got into legal trouble. It wasn't rooted so much in acrimony and disdain, as she really seemed to want to help, but she was fearful the system would come down on her if I was to violate any laws. Honestly, if I had told her I had a lengthy history of
homicidal ideations and violence, I probably wouldn't have gotten that sort of reaction at all.
People in our situation have this level of suspicion and mistrust that is very disproportionate to demographics with non-sexual but abhorrent impulses. My point is, if pedo/hebephiles deserve to be treated with such uneasiness, people with histories of assaults and violent impulses should also be similarly stigmatized. (Of course, I don't think either deserve that much default distrust.)
Also, there's something else people tend to forget. There are plenty of us who are "non-exclusive", meaning they harbor the capability of attraction to adults. I am within that category. A lot of us are already happily mated to adults. Not all that many people are totally or nearly totally exclusive.
Agreed. However, you also mention that things like aversion therapy won't work: what do you WANT people to do about people like you? Therapy cannot work if the individual in question doesn't want to get better
There are one or two articles I could find and point you to which contain commentary from professionals in the sexual field of psychology. They have asserted that there is no cure for pedo/hebephilia, that sexuality in general is unmalleable and immune to such things as you stated. There literally is nothing they could do for someone who has no compulsions or severe emotional dysfunctions stemming from it. What they can treat is things such as self-loathing and self-esteem stemming from being that, and compulsions through a methodology similar to that used to treat addictions.
What I want from the psych industry is for them to receive and treat people in my and every other demographic without bigotry or unwarranted hysteria. I want them to dispense therapy to those with the issues I just mentioned, while accepting those of us who are stable and don't need such care. This is what my current therapist does. He understands I am non-offending and pro-reform, that I express/indulge my orientation through legal means such as artwork and creating pederastic stories. He doesn't treat me with distrust or wariness just because I'm a hebephile, and he will discuss tertiary matters with me which relate to it.
It is expected that people who have self-control not to commit the crime; if you're not going to commit the crime, why would you discuss the desire to commit a crime by announcing it to the world?
It is a critical component of my Social Front grand strategy. Openly broadcasting this will repulse those who would be very incompatible, and attract those who would be more worthy candidates. It helps separate the wheat from the chaff.
Also, let's be rational for a bit here. Who do you think is theoretically a greater risk of committing sexual offenses? Someone who does stuff like that is not likely to broadcast their predilections to the world. They usually wish to remain hidden and covert. By announcing this to the world, I've drawn a lot more attention to myself. People will scrutinize me much more. I don't mind this since I am not doing anything I need to hide. People should be more wary of those who are keeping hidden their power level, so to speak.
You were discussing what services to use, and seeing as you admit to stating your hebephilia to your therapist, I can only assume that it is pertinent to your life.
It is pertinent on a secondary or tertiary level in a couple of ways. It reinforces my estrangement from and disdain for humanity as a whole, which is at times relevant to some problem or dysfunction. I also used this as a vetting tool, as those who would recoil just for my attractions wouldn't be worthy of being my therapist. Also, if I had to conceal this, it would periodically disrupt my attempts to communicate during sessions and just would cause frustration and agitation. So, no, it's not an ailment or causing an ailment I'm seeking help for, but it's still rather imperative to have raised the matter and occasionally discuss it.
There is also less issue between a 15 and 16yo having sex (which is rarely, if ever, prosecuted, and if it is there are usually some other circumstances) and a 30yo having sex with a 14yo. They are not the same thing, do not compare them as equal events.
The difference between the two scenarios is, in the latter there is a higher risk of exploitation and manipulation. Unfortunately, people have decided that this higher risk equals abuse and predation in 100% of cases, and ignore the fact our inferior education system sets our children up for exploitation and other sexual mishaps. There's a legitimate and real issue regarding predatory behavior, but society's views on its causes and nature are completely warped.
Child prostitution was recently decriminalized in California so that the children could be sent to treatment as victims rather than arrested for prostitution.
Okay, I need to clarify this for everyone. What he is alluding to is California deciding to decriminalize the children who are engaged in prostitution. Childhood prostitution is still very much illegal there, only now just the adults are being charged and are criminals.
1. Religious schools are private and not regulated by the same bodies as public schools. People have the right to decide where and how their children are educated, even when they are wrong. Also, many colleges are religious. They banned too?
I don't feel parents should have nearly as much freedom as they do. I tend to be rather authoritarian on some matters relating to parental choice. Children should not be subjected to religious education. If adults want to enroll in religious colleges I don't care, but I see religious schooling as a form of child abuse (as well as host of other things, like allowing obesity or shaming and trying to fix LGBT children). I'm an arrogant and fascistic secular atheist on this. This I make no apologies for.
+1 point for honesty. However, I will say that you are largely looking at things from a very limited perspective, and assuming that most hebephiles would be like you, assuming you are telling the truth and would never harm someone. This is demonstrably not the case.
I never said most are in my camp. I actually find a lot of pederasts and -philes to be revolting people overall. I don't have real numbers to offer on the matter of offending versus non-offending MAPs. All I can rightfully say is a decent fraction of us for moral, practical, legal, and other reasons choose not to go looking for RL child porn or children. However, so many refuse to accept this subset exists.
You have already admitted that you are willing to take your furry fetish to public spaces
Are you referring to the furry femboy fashion? That's not sexualized at all, beyond maybe the somewhat suggestive image of my fursona on my shirt. I don't shove my fetishes or sexuality in anyone's faces, and I don't believe subjecting random innocent people to that is right anyway.
