Challenging Negative Thoughts In The MAP Community
There are many concerns that the MAP (Minor Attracted Person) community faces. Often, those concerns have far more to do with stigma than they do with being attracted to minors. But how can that be? Well, take a little trip with me for a moment. You read news articles where they use the word “pedophile”…
Yes, I Did “Get help!” Already
For those who may not know, I am one of the rare pedophiles that came forward for professional help. A little over five years ago now, I had worked myself into a mental place where I hated my attractions because of being abused, and I thought my attraction meant I would hurt a child. So,…
Fact-Checking Snopes’ Fact-Check On Pedophilia
Several times, I have contacted Snopes to tell them their fact-checks on pedophilia lack merit. Each time, I have told them that pedophilia is not the sexual abuse of a child, but the sexual attraction to children.

For those who do not know, I advocate for the primary prevention of child sexual abuse, or stopping it before it can happen. I want to ensure there are methods in place to get people to a healthier mindset before abuse happens, and methods in place so that those who may be at-risk for…
American Non-Thinker: Normalizing Pedophilia?
Ah, political blogs. Do you read them often? I do not so much, but I do enjoy critical thinking, and I noticed an article earlier this month from a blog that purports to be oriented around thinking: American Thinker. My first red flag should have been the first comment on the article: But I get…
Is Pedophilia A Sexual Orientation?
There has been a bit of hubub in the news lately, as the BBC released an interesting article written by a 60-year-old pedophile who claims to have pedophilia, which he deems a “deeply distressing sexual orientation.” This has set off an uproar on social media, and has now been covered by RT, The Daily Caller,…
